Discernment Counseling

Are you and your partner facing the daunting prospect of divorce? Do you find yourselves at a crossroads, with one leaning out of the marriage while the other desperately clings to hope? If so, Discernment Counseling might just be the lifeline your relationship needs.

Elizabeth Doherty Thomas, co-founder of Doherty Relationship Institute helped to shed light on the transformative power of Discernment Counseling. This unique service, designed for couples teetering on the edge of separation, offers a beacon of hope amidst the darkness of uncertainty.

How does it work?

Discernment Counseling caters to couples grappling with divergent emotional stances toward their relationship. Picture this: one partner is contemplating the exit door while the other is fervently committed to salvaging what remains of their union. It's a delicate balance, but one that we, at the Doherty Relationship Institute, have mastered over a decade of dedicated practice.

At the heart of Discernment Counseling lies a commitment to comfort and growth. We understand that each individual in the relationship is navigating their own emotional landscape, and our goal is to provide solace and support to both parties. By offering confidential one-on-one sessions, we create a safe space for couples to unpack their thoughts, fears, and desires without the presence of their spouse looming over them.

But it's not just about providing a listening ear; Discernment Counseling is a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Clients emerge from these sessions with a newfound sense of self-awareness, understanding their role in the dynamics of their relationship and gaining clarity on their next steps.
