Discover a Path Forward with Discernment Counseling: A Different Approach from Traditional Marriage Counseling


Are you and your partner at a crossroads in your relationship? Unsure whether staying married is the right path forward? Unlike traditional couple therapy, discernment counseling is designed specifically for mixed agenda couples - where one partner is leaning out of the relationship while the other wants to preserve it.

What is Discernment Counseling?

Developed by Dr. Bill Doherty of the Doherty Relationship Institute, discernment counseling is a short-termed process designed to help couples gain clarity when traditional couples therapy may not be the right fit. This innovative approach combines individual conversations with joint sessions to help you understand your personal contributions to the problems in your relationship. Through this process, you'll gain a deeper understanding of your relationship dynamics so you can make an informed decision about your future together.

How It Differs from Traditional Marriage Counseling

While couples therapy and traditional marriage counseling focus on immediate relationship repair, discernment counseling helps you first determine if both partners are truly ready to work on the relationship. Based on a deeper assessment of each partner's commitment level, discernment counseling helps you with:

  • Clarity and Confidence: Move from uncertainty to a clear, informed decision about your relationship's future.

  • Structured Process: Provides a non-judgmental space for examining both partners' contributions to the problems and expressing individual concerns.

  • Individual Focus: Balances focused individual conversations with joint meetings to address each partner's unique perspective.

  • Efficient and Effective: Typically conducted over 1-5 sessions, making it a time-efficient intervention.
