Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Kacper Kalin
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, MTh
I enjoy working with both, straight and LGBTQ+ couples, and those who at any point find themselves anywhere on exclusive vs. open relationship spectrum. We will want to better grasp your unique experiences and perspectives on where you find yourself as a couple (straight or LGBTQ+) now, versus where each of you has come from into this relationship/marriage. We will identify and acknowledge any external factors such as family, culture, and societal norms, which you feel have been impacting your relationship dynamics. We will do similarly regarding any power imbalances unique to your relationship. We will identify and empower all the strengths of your relationship. I will encourage you to express your feelings and thoughts, individual needs, and expectations openly and honestly. We will identify and explore any patterns of your interactions which you find impactful on your relationship, and see what may have been unconscious to one or both of you. We will be aiming to strike your balance between focusing on your immediately pressing issues versus the long-term change you are wishing for in your relationship.

Jess Erb
Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
It can be hard to keep the spark alive in any relationship, but especially long-term relationships in which patterns have been established. Working from a psychdynamic lens, we look at how couples may have navigated their relationship as an adjunct to past traumas, and attachment styles.

Are you sick of having the same argument over and over again? Do you feel disconnected from your partner - like you've grown apart? Are you unhappy with your sex life, experiencing low desire, or maybe things aren't working the way you'd like them to (erectile dysfunction, inability to achieve orgasm, painful intercourse)?

- infidelity
- conflict & resolution skills
- pre-marital counselling
- long distance dating
- couples affected my mental health and trauma

Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Intimate relationships are like a dance – they can be quite joyful and energizing but when facing obstacles, partners need to find the steps and rhythm to move more freely. Couple therapy can provide a safe space in which you and your partner can gain a deeper understanding of one another and what contributes to difficulties within the dance of your relationship. Should you decide to attend sessions, I will work with you to facilitate honest conversations, help you to better understand what you may need from one another, and support you in finding a way to step toward more acceptance, intimacy, and connection. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

When I work with couples who are seeking support with their relationship--whether to address challenges around communication, connection, intimacy, infidelity--I seek to collaborate with both individuals in a way that centers the relationship itself as the client.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Do you feel a lack of connection to your partner? Is this bringing up feelings of guilt, anger or loneliness? Perhaps your partner isn’t ready or willing to engage in couples therapy; Relationship counselling is a good place to start. It helps you understand your ‘dance’ with your partner and track how reactive behaviour can impact the dynamic. We can help you get to know your underlying vulnerabilities and needs, so you can communicate and become more responsive and engaged with your partner.

Our Approaches
• Our Couples Programs are based in Emotion focused therapy and the
Gottman Method (GM).
• EFT is a leading-edge couples therapy designed to help partners accept, express, regulate, and managing emotion.
• The Gottman Method is backed by rigorous research that focuses on 3 specific areas: friendship, conflict management, and creating a life of shared meaning. Partners identify and recognize the Four Horsemen – negative communication styles- (criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling) that can predict the failure of a relationship (with over 95% accuracy) in order to replace these with healthier communication patterns. Couples also learn to identify “bids for communication” from their partner and how to respond to these in ways that strengthen secure bonds. The overarching goal is to help a couple accept their differences, communicates more effectively, and increase intimacy, respect and affection.
