Discernment Counseling is not traditional counseling. It is a specific protocol for treating mixed-agenda couples where one partner is leaning out of the relationship and is reluctant to work on it in therapy, and the other partner 
wants to save the relationship.

​

Sessions are limited (up to five) and longer (90-120 minutes) than traditional therapy.  The focus is on the couple making a decision on three courses of action: staying in the marriage as it is, pursuing divorce or committing to six months of couple's therapy. ​
