Counseling for couples at a crossroads.
Discernment Counseling
Are you on the brink?
Ben guides couples through:
✔ Deciding whether to restore the relationship, move toward divorce, or take time to reflect
✔ Gaining clarity and confidence about what’s possible
✔ Understanding relationship patterns and individual contributions
While sessions begin together, the deepest work happens in private one-on-one conversations, allowing both partners to explore their perspectives openly.
If you or your partner are considering separation or divorce but feel uncertain, Discernment Counseling offers a structured way to slow down, reflect, and explore your options.
This approach is ideal when one partner is leaning out—unsure if marriage counseling would help—while the other is leaning in, hoping to rebuild the relationship. Whether married or in a committed partnership, this process helps clarify the future of your relationship without pressure or judgment.
Find clarity. Discover possibilities.
