Divorce Discernment Counseling

Anyone who is struggling with the decision of whether or not to divorce can book a session to determine their next steps. Those considering divorce but not yet speaking about it to their partner, those who have told their partner they want a divorce but have a partner who wants to remain married, and those who have a partner who has asked them for a divorce can all benefit from a discernment session.You don't need to have any answers and you don't even need to have all of your questions formulated. If you are struggling with the decision to divorce we are a safe, discreet space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and options.

These sessions can be individual if you want time for yourself, or if your partner is not interested in attending. You deserve the opportunity to build insight and understanding about the decisions ahead of you, no matter what position you are in.These sessions are also helpful for couples who are not united on or sure about the next step in their marriage. I can help you by talking with each of you individually for part of our session, then helping you talk together for part of our session so that you build clarity and understanding about whether to remain married, to divorce, or to seek additional resources.

Discernment sessions are meant to be short-term opportunities to gain insight and formulate a plan for action, either as an individual or as a couple. You will book a single session, and at the end of that session we will decide together if you would like more time together or if you have gained the clarity you need.Most people seeking divorce discernment book between 1-3 sessions. The maximum number of sessions recommended is 5.

We prefer to hold sessions in person, whether with an individual or a couple. If you hold a strong preference for telehealth sessions we can discuss this possibility together. Please just reach out using our contact form or email cyoshimura@cgconsultants.org.Due to regulations surrounding mental health counseling licensure, we will need a conversation together to determine the possibility of telehealth with individuals who are located outside of Montana at the time of service.

Our sessions are $250 for individuals and $300 for couples. These sessions are booked for one hour.

If you have a Flexible Spend Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) you should have been issued a card that we can use in-session to cover the cost. Since Divorce Discernment sessions are mental health therapy offered by a licensed mental health provider they should be eligible with your plan. Please bring your card with you to our session.If you have a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) we can provide you with an invoice that you can submit to your employer for reimbursement. Please bring your own credit card, cash, or check with you as the form of payment for your session.

We do not directly bill insurance for any sessions, however we can provide you with an invoice and/or a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Their ability to reimburse will depend on the conditions of your specific plan, and the medical necessity of your session. If you are experiencing impairment of a major life activity (difficulty eating, sleeping, working, thinking, concentrating, or interacting with other people) due to your divorce-related adjustment then your session should meet the conditions of being considered medically necessary. We recommend that you speak directly with your insurance about whether they cover mental health therapy as part of your plan.
