If your marriage is at
 brink of divorce, you don't have to go through this alone. Discover a new path forward with discernment counseling. 


Many couples start therapy because they’re facing:
  • One partner is considering divorce or separation
  • Both partners feel stuck and unsure about the best path for their relationship
  • Unresolved and long-term conflict
  • Affairs
  • Long-term disconnection and lack of intimacy
  • Chronic conflict on differences in parenting, finances, extended family, friends or core beliefs.
  • Different visions of the future
  • Couples therapy is not working or reluctance to try couples therapy

BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY - SCHEDULE TODAY

Find peace in decision-making with discernment counseling, uniquely designed to support you through life's toughest transitions with understanding and insight.

I’m here to support you through these challenges. With over 20+ years of experience, I integrate evidence-based and data-driven techniques into my therapeutic process. We help you navigate this difficult time through short term counseling to help you move forward.

Our clientele are typically busy, high performing professionals, entrepreneurs, and couples in fields like tech, medicine, corporations and academia. These couples don't have time to sit with a therapist week after week, and feel like there's no direction or progress.

Bayani Wellness and Counseling has you covered. We provide a unique and tailored therapy experience where you walk away from sessions with a plan, homework, skills and tools that can make a difference today.


Meet Dr. Jennifer Tang Cole, LMSW, LICSW: Your Therapist and Guide

Discernment Counseling can help you work through relationship ambivalence and decide on the best path forward for everyone.

We'll review the results of your assessment together, each partner will share their observations and facilitate a discussion on the path forward. I’ll provide detailed feedback on my observations and areas of growth.

Session 5: Assessment Results 

This will include individual sessions to further explore each partner's concerns, explore your role in the relationship's dynamics and how these issues are impacting you. We will also further explore relationship ambivalence, concerns and possible paths forward.

Sessions 2-4: Your Experience

Our first session will focus on exploring relationship patterns that have led you to this point, explore what you have done to fix these problems, explore factors that are impacting your ability to make a decision (e.g. children, finances, etc.) and discuss the possible paths forward (status quo, separation/divorce or couples therapy).
