Break-Up Contemplation Counseling

discernment counselingShould I stay or should I go?

Sometimes, in our relationship, we wonder, “Should I stay or should I go?” or, more specifically, “Should we stay together or break up?” If you feel stuck between the need for couples/marriage therapy and break-up/divorce counseling, If your relationship seems “on the brink,” break-up contemplation counseling or relationship clarification therapy, sometimes called discernment counseling, may be what you need. This more structured, short-term counseling emphasizes guiding a couple through the decision-making process of whether or not they can make their relationship work.

Clarification counseling focused on helping couples decide about their futures can help those facing uncertainty in their relationship. Moreover, this form of therapy assists couples in navigating the challenging crossroads of their partnerships. Rather than immediately diving into traditional couples therapy, discernment-type counseling processes focus on helping individuals clarify their relationship and next steps. Our skilled therapists actively engage with clients to explore their relationship emotions, needs, and concerns, fostering a safe and non-judgmental environment. Through guided conversations, clients gain insight into their relationship dynamics, enabling them to make informed decisions about whether to pursue reconciliation, separation, or divorce. Our expert counselors are dedicated to supporting individuals in their relationships promoting growth and understanding along the way.

If you are asking questions such as . . .

  • Is this relationship salvageable?
  • Do I want this anymore?
  • Can we make this work?
  • Is this relationship worth saving?
  • Do I love them anymore? Will those feelings ever come back?

If so, this relationship clarification counseling might be what the two of you need right now.
