Counseling in San Antonio & Schertz for Couples and Marriages
Strengthening love and connection by helping couples create lasting and healthy relationships
This is not what happily ever after was supposed to look like. Your connection, intimacy, spark, and the simple enjoyment of being together is lost. You want to feel a connection but the distance between you keeps growing every day. You stay together, because you know you love each other. You just don’t know how to love each other.
You can’t continue to ignore that you don’t even talk. At least when you were arguing every day, there was some sort of communication happening. Now there’s silence. You’re just going through the motions on autopilot. Things get done, but you’re not doing them together. What you once did as a team is now a solo mission, and you can’t remember the last time you felt deeply connected to each other.
You don’t know what else to do to make your relationship work. You’re sleeping on opposite ends of the bed, and on the rare occasion that you do try to share an intimate moment, it seems so cold and undesirable. Everything you had seems to be lost, and you don’t recognize each other anymore. Drawing closer only deepens your wounds, because none of the progress you make ever seems sustainable. There’s no real communication. No fun. No intimacy. No connection.

Discernment Counseling Texas
Are you and your partner considering separation or divorce? Discernment Counseling can give you clarity.
If at least one person in the relationship has or is considering leaving, it can be beneficial to spend time in a therapeutic process referred to as ‘Discernment Counseling’. Our marriage counselors are trained in Discernment Counseling, a 1-5 session approach that is solely focused on helping you and your partner identify if staying in the relationship is what’s best.
When someone in the relationship is not hopeful that positive change can happen, discernment counseling should be your first step. It can help iron out the hesitation of putting hard work into something that you or your partner isn’t sure will even work. It’s in these times when couple’s therapy and marriage counseling seem unhelpful, as these approaches often work best when both partners are willing and ready to work toward change in their relationship.
The goal of Discernment Counseling is to allow both partners a safe space to explore their options. With the benefit of working with the same counselor who knows and understands the context of your individual concerns and struggles, you have a greater chance of working together to find the solution that is right for your relationship.
You no longer have to stand at a crossroads hoping to feel clear in your decision on what the next step is. We provide clarity by removing the confusion and overwhelm, while helping you or your partner decide on the future of your relationship.
