STAY OR GO COUNSELING

Stay or Go Counseling, also known as Discernment Counseling, is an approach for you as a couple if:
  • One or both of you are questioning the commitment to stay married.
  • One or both of you aren’t sure you have the motivation for full-on couples counseling to fix your problems.
Discernment Counseling differs from relationship counseling in these ways:
  1. You are not expected to change right now, but instead to better understand what’s happened in the relationship and each partner’s contribution to the problems.
  2. Discernment Counseling is brief lasting from one to five sessions maximum, with a decision each session whether or not to meet again.
The goal is to increase clarity and confidence about one of three directions for your relationship:

  • Commit to an all out effort in couples counseling to improve the relationship.
  • End the relationship via separation/divorce with dignity.
  • Stay the course and decide later.   I welcome any questions you may have.
