Discernment Counseling
Discernment counseling is a short-term process for couples where one partner is leaning toward divorce and the other wants to save the marriage. It helps you both get clarity and confidence about the direction to take before you make a decision you can't undo.

How it works
Discernment counseling usually runs 1-6 sessions. You meet together and separately with Shelia. At the end, you choose one of three paths: keep the marriage as it is, move toward separation, or commit to a season of serious work on the relationship.
