In many relationships, one or both partners reach a crisis of conscience, wondering whether to remain in their existing relationship or to leave. A careful exploration of the path to this point, and the dynamics each partner brings to the relationship, will yield greater understanding and more informed, conscious decision-making. Lauren can assist one or both partners to seek the answers within themselves to help transform the relationship crisis into an opportunity for learning and growth, leading to thoughtful resolution and well-reasoned outcomes.

Many people find this service helpful prior to deciding whether to proceed to divorce mediation, or to committing to couple's therapy.
