Friendship Discernment Therapy
 

Discernment Therapy can also be a great option for friends that have had a long or deep relationship and have hit a crossroads. One friend might feel the relationship is imbalanced, the friends are growing in different ways or there has been trust broken. Discernment is a great option for friends because I believe we often cut off friendships without attempting to repair and move forward. The culture of cutting others off creates isolation. Friendship discernment can offer space to hold the grief if one cannot change in the other needs and to limit the harm our cutting off or ghosting culture creates. The goal if you were to stay friends would be to: repair harm and trust, redefine what you need from each other and create new boundaries or understanding moving forward. In circumstances where the friendship is unsalvageable, the goal would be to hold space for the grief of the loss of a friendship, reflect on what the other has given and decide what or how to move forward.

Discernment for Friendship is the same cost as for Couples Therapy. I also offer friendship discernment in the 50 minute couples therapy context.
