The most effective ways to improve your relationship/marriage, is to improve your relationship with yourself first. Then we look at what needs to be healed between you, what needs to change in your communication, then we work at enhancing your sexual awareness. These are foundational pieces of a happy, long lasting relationship/marriage.

Maria Yaglovski
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)
Couples therapy is a collaborative approach and a safe space to communicate how you feel. Marriage and couples counseling tends to deal with present-day events rather than the past. It focuses on the 'now' and the challenges of married life so that you can get your relationship back on track. Couples therapy deals with the present day but also any history that causes unhealthy patterns of relating. Using the Gottman Method, I focus on communication and conflict resolution and what areas need improvement where we will then learn about creating new connections and rituals. We will also focus on building new meanings and shared value systems that will help you strengthen your relationships.

Seven Vistas - Professional Life Coach and Counsellor
Counsellor/Therapist, PCC, RPC-C, NLP Master Practitioner
Frustrating? Feeling alone even though you have a partner? Unheard? Unseen? Neither person listening and feels like the end? That's pretty normal. Where did the joy go? The communication and excitement? Where is the energy? The fun sex drive and intimacy? What did we sign up for? Relationships faulter, it's normal, the response and response time to what creates that faulter matters a lot. Though it can be very hard to see for any side of a relationship. Love versus co-habitation versus needs or wants versus esteem and security. Values and beliefs, alignment or compromise. Your compass has probably fallen off its needle in more than one direction, shall we see if we can find the magnets center for balance?
Lets explore what the wants are, of each of you and of the relationship, maybe even of the kids.
Seeking a relationship? Love? Partnership? Adventure buddy? Though it has been a challenge? Come talk to me, let's explore this too

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Couples often seek therapy when relationship problems are affecting their mental and physical health. For many couples, participating in couples therapy is a brave and courageous step due to a fear that the therapist may take sides and as a result, leave one partner feeling invalidated and misunderstood. The approach that I use is the Gottman Method Couple Therapy, which involves understanding each partner's inner world, beliefs, and values. I make sure that each partner feels validated and understood in order to create a safe space to share concerns.
The Gottman Method Couple Therapy was founded by Dr's John and Julie Gottman and is an evidence based approach that helps to understand why some couples live healthy lives while others resort to divorce or separation. With over 40 years of research the Gottman Method has proven as highly effective for helping couples build better friendship, manage conflict, improve intimacy, and gain a deeper understanding of their partner's inner world.
The therapeutic process largely involves helping couples identify the strengths in their relationship and the areas that need improvement. Often couples who participate in therapy struggle to acknowledge the positive factors that already exist in the relationship. When they realize that positive aspects are already present they gain renewed hope for the future. They also feel motivated to continue engaging in the behaviours that create a healthy bond with their partner. I also offer multiple interventions on the Gottman Method that help couples improve communication skills, as effective communication is a key ingredient to understanding each other's wants, needs, and values.

Theodosia Daflos
Counsellor/Therapist, MA
In relationships, it's common for people to have different ways of communicating. Sometimes these differences can be fun and exciting. Other times, as relationships progress, these communication differences can cause misunderstandings and lead to tensions and conflict. You may also find that communication strategies that were once helpful can start to be ineffective and cause problems.
Using Dialectical Behavioural Therapy for couples, we will work on identifying times of conflict, identifying how and where the miscommunications occurred and conflict increased, and develop skills for both partners to be able to more effectively communicate with each other.

Dustin Hogan - Men's Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Relationships are hard.
Our partners know how to push our buttons and us theirs. Challenges with communication are often at the root of many relationship struggles and if left unattended, can become an insidious poison within the relationship.
No matter what stage of your relationship you are in, outside support can often be the difference between things flourishing or falling apart.
