When the path forward is unsure and a couple has a mixed agenda (one person wants to work on the relationship and the other is not as motivated/is thinking of leaving the relationship), the best option is to try discernment counseling.
How is it different from couples therapy?
In our initial session, we'll collaborate to craft a clear, personalized vision for the ideal future of your relationship. Additionally, I'll conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your relationship's history to uncover any patterns of stagnation or dysfunction. Together, we'll identify obstacles hindering your journey towards an ideal relationship.
How do we know if we need discernment counseling?
During these one-on-one sessions, I'll meet with each of you separately to delve into your individual trauma history and family background, including attachment styles. Understanding these aspects is crucial, as they significantly influence your behavior and interactions within the relationship.
Why should we choose discernment counseling?
In our final session, we'll review the findings from our assessments and collaboratively develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs as a couple. Drawing from my expertise in Gottman Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Imago Therapy, and Premarital Models, along with the STRONG Model of Relational Therapy, we'll create a customized roadmap for your relationship's future. This personalized approach will empower you to build a relationship that brings personal fulfillment, deep connection, and resilience against life's challenges.
