A free phone consultation is a short call designed to help you decide whether couples therapy is the right next step – and what kind of support would actually be useful for your situation.
During this call, you can briefly share what’s been happening in your relationship, ask questions, and get a clearer sense of whether to move forward with therapy or consider a different approach.
This is especially helpful for couples dealing with high conflict, emotional disconnection, or uncertainty about the future of the relationship.
Who This Consultation Is For
This consultation may be a good fit if:
- You and your partner are stuck in recurring conflict
- Communication keeps breaking down despite your efforts
- One or both of you are unsure about staying in the relationship
- You’re considering separation or divorce but don’t feel clear yet
- You’re not sure if couples therapy will actually help
If you’re feeling hesitant, overwhelmed, or skeptical, that’s okay. This call is meant to help you sort that out.
What Happens During the Call
The consultation is simple and focused:
- You share a brief overview of what’s going on
- I ask a few targeted questions to understand your situation
- I explain what type of support may fit best (if any)
- You can ask questions about the process, structure, and next steps
By the end of the call, you should have a clearer sense of whether to move forward – and how.
Is This a Therapy Session?
No. This is not a therapy session.
It’s a short, structured conversation to help you decide your next step.
If you’re looking for deeper support right away, we would schedule a full session instead.
If You’re Not Sure Whether to Stay or Leave Your Relationship
If one or both of you are questioning the future of the relationship, this call can help determine whether discernment counseling may be a better fit than traditional couples therapy.
Discernment counseling is a short-term process specifically designed for couples on the brink of divorce – especially when one partner is leaning out and the other wants to stay.
Not every couple should jump straight into therapy. This call helps you figure out what makes the most sense for where you are right now.
What You’ll Leave With
After the consultation, you’ll have:
- A clearer understanding of your options
- A recommendation for next steps (therapy, discernment counseling, or something else)
- A sense of whether this approach feels like the right fit for you
No pressure to commit – just more clarity than you had before.
