All relationships face challenges.
If you find yourself asking:
Determining if couples therapy is right for you involves reflecting on your relationship and being honest about your well-being and the collective well-being of your partnership.
Some couples attend therapy to get clarity and advice to help them resolve a specific difficult situation – like infidelity or deep financial issues. Other couples find that a relationship therapist helps them learn and practice communication skills that deepen their intimacy and strengthen their relationship, helping to manage future issues.
Difficulties in expressing feelings, active listening, or understanding each other can strain a relationship. Your therapist will create a safe container for both partners to be heard and understood during therapy, leading to improved communication patterns and healthier interactions in day-to-day life.
When money-related conflicts, differing financial habits, or financial stress are putting a strain on your partnership, couples therapy helps you navigate financial challenges and create shared goals.
Parenting styles, family roles, or extended family dynamics can cause tension between partners and make it difficult to maintain a harmonious household. We offer guidance on effective co-parenting and family communication.
Major life changes such as moving, career shifts, or health issues can impact a relationship. Therapy can help you adapt to transitions while maintaining a strong bond.
Our clinic employs an integrated approach to treatment, utilizing a range of therapeutic techniques customized to address the specific needs of your partnership. Our sessions may include the following modalities for couples therapy:

Our therapists are warm, empathetic, highly-trained mental health professionals with wide variety of lived experience.
We regularly check-in to see if we are making progress on your goals and seek feedback after each session to make sure we’re constantly adapting to your needs.
Our therapists participate in group supervision, engage in gold-standard professional development programs, and regularly coordinate with a lead psychiatrist to optimize-care.
We start with an online couples consultation attended by both partners. During the couples consultation, we have the opportunity to hear about your needs, tell you about the process, and answer any questions. It’s an opportunity for both partners to get a feel for the working relationship with your therapist and ensure a good fit.
The couples assessment includes an evaluation of your relationship dynamics, strengths, and areas for improvement. Our couples therapist will provide personalized feedback and collaboratively assist in determining shared goals for the therapeutic process. These sessions are provided online or in-person depending on your preference.
A joint intake session with both partners.
Intake sessions with each partner. A chance for each partner to individually share their lived experience.
A joint session where your therapist reviews the results of the assessment and provides detailed feedback.
Ongoing couples therapy sessions focus on making progress towards your shared goals in a safe container where both partners can feel heard and respected. These sessions are provided online or in-person depending on your preference.
We believe strongly in a client-centred approach, where the couple is defined as the client. Our role is to professionally guide and support the specific goals that you and your partner bring to the session.
Rather than imposing our own beliefs or biases, we aim to empower couples to make informed decisions about their relationship. Through open communication and collaborative problem-solving, we work together to explore and address the issues that are causing tension or conflict in the relationship.
Yes, we start with a couples initial consultation attended by both partners. During the consultation, we have the opportunity to hear about your needs, tell you about the process, and answer any questions. Our first “official” session is a couples intake session that both partners attend too. We then schedule individual sessions with both partners to make sure we fully understand each partner’s lived experience. The feedback session and all following sessions are attended by both partners.
We prefer to schedule the initial couples consultation as a 30 minute secure video call. All future sessions may be attended either in-person or remotely via secure video call. However, your therapist may suggest attending in-person sessions to ensure that your specific partnership gets the most out of each therapy session.
Couples therapy is an important investment in the health of your relationship.
Our sessions are based on professional guidelines, therapist training and the specific needs of each couple. The costs range from $185 per individual session (50 min) in the assessment phase to $248 per couple session (80 min) in the intake and treatment phase. All posted prices are inclusive of HST. Many of our clients are able to have our services reimbursed through insurance or benefit plans, as all our mental-health professionals are masters level therapists and are registered in good standing with their professional regulatory college.
