Common Questions
What is discernment counseling exactly?
Discernment counseling is a short-term process (1–5 sessions) designed for couples where one or both partners are unsure whether to stay in the relationship. The goal is clarity, not necessarily reconciliation.
Is this the same as couples therapy?
No. Discernment counseling is specifically for couples on the brink of divorce or separation who aren't sure if they want to work on the relationship. It's a decision-making process, not a repair process.
What are the possible outcomes?
There are three paths: continuing the relationship as-is, separating, or committing to a period of couples therapy with divorce off the table. Tracy helps you explore each path honestly.
