A solution-focused, cost-effective intervention
Could you benefit from slowing down the decision-making process and receiving a solution-focused, cost-effective intervention before making such a costly, life-changing decision?
Discernment Counseling is specifically designed for couples to process and discuss their options when divorce has been considered by one or both partners. Research indicates that many couples in this situation have different feelings from their partner, such as one person leaning toward wanting to work on the marriage and the other person leaning toward wanting to end the relationship.
This results-focused work provides clarity and confidence in order to make a decision about the future of the relationship. It also helps parents of both minor and adult children to communicate more productively with all affected family members.
Discernment counseling differs from marriage counseling in three important ways:
- The goal is not to solve the problems in the marriage; rather you use this process to decide whether the problems can be solved
- Individual discussions with the therapist provide clarity and focus; each person’s thoughts and feelings are processed in a safe, supportive, and confidential environment
- It is always short-term; you decide together how many sessions you want or need
If you or your partner are considering divorce but hesitate due to a variety of reasons, discernment counseling is a results-oriented, cost-effective choice to help you move forward with clarity, confidence and increased knowledge.
