Working one of my favorite events of the year-Flourish Fest for the city of Fort Collins. What an amazing event to offer their employees, focused on health and wellness.

When you are reading “If you give a mouse a cookie” to your granddaughter and start to think this book is similar to Anxiety, Rumination and OCD as the little boy plays out the scenario of what happens if he gives a mouse a cookie. Then I reflect, am I validating and normalizing rumination, or does it also illustrate thinking through consequences of our actions, or maybe is just a fun kids story? Sometimes it’s hard to turn off introspection and therapist brain.

How do I know if therapy is actually helping?

This is one of the most common questions, especially from people who are used to measuring success by productivity or quick results.

The truth is, therapy isn't always measured by feeling better immediately. Sometimes it's measured by responding differently.

You may notice therapy is helping when:

✨ You pause before reacting instead of responding on autopilot.

✨ You set a boundary without feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions.

✨ You recognize a pattern that used to feel invisible.

✨ You recover more quickly after a difficult day or conflict.

✨ You begin feeling your emotions instead of avoiding or numbing them.

✨ You become kinder to yourself and less driven by self-criticism.

✨ Your relationships start feeling healthier because you're communicating more openly and authentically.

✨ You spend less energy surviving and more energy living.

Sometimes progress looks obvious. Other times, it's so gradual that you don't notice until you realize something that used to overwhelm you no longer has the same hold on you.

Healing isn't always linear. There will be weeks when it feels like you're making huge strides and weeks when it feels like you're standing still. That doesn't mean therapy isn't working; it often means you're working through something important.

If you're feeling stuck in therapy and have been considering something different, or if you're interested in getting started in therapy altogether, reach out today for a free consultation to see if we are a fit for you.

What’s the difference between Couples Therapy and Discernment Counseling?

Many couples begin therapy hoping for clarity — but not every couple is ready for traditional couples counseling. When one partner is unsure about staying in the relationship and the other wants to work on things, standard couples therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming or unproductive.

Discernment Counseling is a different process:
✔ Short-term (1–5 sessions)
✔ Longer sessions (1.5–2 hours)
✔ Focused on clarity and direction
✔ Designed for “mixed agenda” couples
✔ Helps each partner explore their contributions and next steps

Rather than pushing couples toward staying together or separating, the goal is to help both people make a thoughtful, informed decision about the future of the relationship.

💭 Have you ever felt emotionally “stuck” in a relationship decision and unsure what kind of support would actually help?

Consultations are available through Path to Growth Therapy. Please note this service is private pay and not covered by insurance.

Feeling stuck in your relationship and unsure whether to stay together or separate?

Discernment Counseling is designed specifically for couples where one partner may be leaning out of the relationship while the other wants to repair it — also known as a “mixed agenda” couple. Unlike traditional couples therapy, discernment counseling is not focused on solving relationship problems right away. Instead, it helps couples gain clarity and confidence about the direction of their relationship.

Sessions are intentionally longer (1.5–2 hours) and short-term, typically lasting 1–5 sessions, to help couples move out of limbo and toward a more intentional decision.

👉 Are you trying to save the relationship, or are you trying to understand whether it can truly be repaired?

If you’re curious whether discernment counseling may be a fit for your relationship, you can schedule a consultation through Path to Growth Therapy.

Please note: Discernment Counseling is a private-pay service and is not covered by insurance.

Not every couple seeking support is ready or needs traditional couples therapy.

Sometimes one partner is unsure whether the relationship can continue, while the other is hoping to repair and reconnect. Perhaps both are struggling with some level of ambivilance. These relationships often feel emotionally stuck, polarized, or caught in cycles of pressure and distance.

Discernment Counseling is a specialized, short-term process designed for couples navigating uncertainty about the future of their relationship.

Rather than focusing on repairing the relationship like traditional couples therapy, this work is centered on gaining clarity, insight, and confidence about what comes next — with care, structure, and intention.

This process may be a fit if:
• One partner is leaning toward leaving while the other hopes to stay together
• Couples therapy has felt unproductive or emotionally overwhelming
• You want space to thoughtfully explore your options before making major decisions
• You are seeking clarity rather than immediate resolution

Discernment Counseling typically involves 1–5 sessions and provides a calm, guided space to better understand the relationship, the patterns contributing to disconnection, and the direction you want to move toward with three distinct paths.

Path to Growth Therapy is NOW offering Discernment Counseling across Colorado and Washington.
