What is Discernment Counseling and How it Works
Discernment counseling is a unique type of therapy for couples who feel unsure about their relationship’s future. If you’re feeling torn between staying together or moving on, this approach could be helpful.
In discernment counseling, we work together to understand where your relationship stands now and explore possible next steps. It’s not about fixing everything right away. Instead, it’s about helping you both find clarity on the best way forward, whether that means working on the relationship or deciding to part ways.
Throughout the sessions, we’ll take a close look at the strengths and challenges you’re facing. You’ll each have the chance to voice your concerns and share what you want for the future. We’ll also work on helping each of you understand the other’s perspective more deeply.
This process is supportive and respectful, creating a safe space to address any doubts. It gives you the time and space to think about what’s best for both of you, without rushing.
Discernment counseling can be especially helpful if you’re uncertain about what to do next. It offers a gentle, thoughtful way to pause, reflect, and make a more confident decision together.
Benefits of Discernment Counseling
Discernment counseling can be a gentle way to slow down and understand where each of you stands. It’s not about pushing anyone toward staying or leaving. Instead, it helps couples gain clarity on the next steps.
Often, one partner feels unsure about the future, while the other wants to keep trying. Discernment counseling gives you space to explore these feelings—together and separately. In these sessions, you can look at the issues honestly and understand the choices you face.
This type of counseling isn’t meant to solve all problems right away. It’s a place to think, feel, and consider. You’ll both have time to share and to listen, in a safe and respectful setting. Then, if you choose to move forward, you’ll do so with more clarity and understanding.
