Is Your Marriage On The Brink? Can It Be Saved?

If you or your spouse are considering divorce, but are not completely sure that’s the best path, there is a new opportunity called Discernment Counseling. It’s a chance to slow down, take a breath, and look at your options for your marriage.

It will help you:

  • Gain clarity and confidence about what steps to take with your marriage
  • Understand what has happened to your marriage
  • Look at three sides of your problems: yours, your spouse's, and an objective professional's perspective
  • Evaluate the possibility of solving your problems and staying married
  • Decide whether to move towards divorce or make a last all-out effort to restore your marriage to health

Chances are either you or your spouse feels too little hope or energy to start traditional couples counseling. Or, perhaps you've even tried that road before.

Discernment Counseling is specially designed for couples where one spouse is leaning towards divorce and the other wants to preserve the marriage.

Couples like this don't do well in traditional marriage counseling that aims at solving marital problems. They need a different approach. The focus of Discernment Counseling is NOT on solving marital problems, but on seeing if they could potentially be solved.

Sessions involve separate conversations with each spouse, as well as time as a couple. Discernment Counseling is short term (just 1 to 5 sessions) and leads to a decision to either divorce or give the marriage a major last effort, with a clear agenda for change.

Who Is Discernment Counseling For?

  • People considering divorce, but not sure it's the right path for them
  • People who want to take one more look at their relationship before making a permanent decision
  • People who want to give their marriage another chance, even though their spouse may be moving toward divorce

Emotional Support Animal Evaluations: Comprehensive Assessments for a Controversial Issue

In recent years, the use of animals to provide comfort, assistance, and therapy for individuals with various medical and psychological needs has gained attention, particularly with the rise of individuals relying on “Emotional Support Animals” (ESAs). However, there are several different types of animal-assisted interventions, and ESAs differ in important ways from service animals and therapy animals, for example. The use of ESAs became controversial as an increasing number of people began to claim their pets as ESAs and as industries appeared claiming to be able to “certify” ESAs. Further, individuals may seek a psychological evaluation to demonstrate that their animal qualifies as an ESA, and current recommendations are for these evaluations to be quite comprehensive.
