My approach to
Discernment Therapy in Austin, TX
Determining if you should try to work things out or call it quits is no easy decision. There are many variables to consider. My hope in working with you is to help you navigate the next step. Has your relationship been stuck for a long time? Does couples therapy and working on the relationship feel like too much pressure on you right now?
For couples that are married and are considering divorce or couples in a longterm relationship considering separating, discernment therapy might be the best starting point for you. Discernment therapy differs from couples therapy in that the goal is to create clarity and an understanding of the relationship up until this point, and not on processing and changing the relationship as in couples therapy.
As a client, discernment therapy will feel different to you than couples therapy because discernment therapy is more geared towards individual understanding in order to create the confidence necessary to decide if you would like to work on the relationship and proceed to couples therapy or not.
