This couples therapy helps partners disarm conflict, increase intimacy, create greater teamwork and understanding.

Dr. Sherman is a Certified Discernment counselor with specialized training for confused couples who are not sure how to move forward. Discernment counseling is 1-5 sessions for couples considering divorce or separation, to help them offer clarity and confidence around what got you to this point in your relationship and what direction to take. There are three paths:
1-do not pursue divorce or couples therapy
2- pursue divorce or separation
3- Full out six-month effort at couples therapy, putting divorce off the table
If you end up sure that you wish to divorce, we can assist you in making it the best possible divorce, offering a, ‘Family First,’ approach to the ups and downs of the divorce process. If you have children, we can help you do well by them, so hopefully you do not overreact to your spouse or behave badly towards them. If your spouse is not interested in Discernment Counseling then you still have a lot of work you can do on yourself to improve your marriage.
Premarital Counseling: Each 1 hour-long session is $250
Going into a marriage is a threshold experience and a lifetime commitment. It pays to have state of the art relationship tools to prepare you for this journey. You can learn tools for compromise, addressing conflict, discussing a shared vision and more, often in under 10 sessions.
