The Underlying Stance of Discernment Counseling

The underlying philosophy of Discernment Counseling revolves around the conviction that there is often more at play individually than we may initially recognize in influencing the dynamics of a marriage. This specialized counseling modality is meticulously crafted to furnish individuals with the clarity and confidence needed to comprehend their role in reaching the present state of their marriage and to chart a course for its future. The process typically spans 1-5 sessions and unfolds into three distinct paths, each tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of the individuals involved.

Path 1 involves a decision not to pursue divorce or traditional couples therapy at the moment.

Path 2 provides a route for those inclined towards separation or divorce.

Lastly, Path 3 unfolds as a comprehensive six-month commitment to couples therapy, signaling a genuine effort to salvage the relationship with divorce taken off the table. This nuanced and personalized approach ensures that individuals have the space and guidance to carefully evaluate their circumstances, make informed decisions, and embark on a path that aligns with their values and aspirations for their relationship.
