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.

Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), MCP
Even strong relationships can reach points of tension or distance—where communication breaks down, needs go unmet, or old patterns keep repeating. In couples therapy, I help partners slow down reactive cycles, understand the emotions beneath conflict, and rebuild connection through empathy and honesty. Whether you’re repairing trust, navigating major life changes, or simply wanting to strengthen your bond, our work can help you feel more understood and supported in your relationship.

Understand each other. Repair broken trust. Rediscover intimacy. Couples counselling will help you get back to sharing a life you love in a safe and non-threatening way.
Just like everything else, relationships change over time. Even the ones that start with passion often evolve into something that feels more like being roommates or co-parents.
For some couples, it looks like distance and disconnection. It feels like growing apart. The silence becomes unbearable and the space between you feels too big to ever cross. For others, it looks like anger, disagreement, and even disdain. Communication erodes as emotions run high, and conversations almost never end well. And for all couples, the feeling of not being on the same page — or even in the same book — brings a lot of anxiety.
It can be hard to admit to yourself, let alone explain to your partner, that you think you need relationship counselling. You’re scared of what it means. (Is this the end? What if it doesn’t work?) You worry about what your partner will say. (Will this make things worse?) But, trust me when I say that you’re exactly where you need to be.
Working with a couples counsellor will help you navigate your relationship together. Sessions create safe spaces to share your concerns, listen, and be heard. Over time, you’ll start to better express yourselves. Rebuild trust. Improve communication. Even rediscover intimacy.
So much is still possible for the two of you. And it starts right here.

Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., RP, RMFT
We are hard-wired to be closely connected by relationships that fulfill and sustain us. At times, you will be challenged to look at yourself, to grow and change as you strengthen and deepen your relationships. Depending on how the challenge is presented to us, we may feel angry, anxious, confused and at a loss for what to do.

In my work with couples I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy, the goals of which are to disarm conflicting verbal communication; increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy; and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.

Michelle Iulianella Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, BEd, MBA, MA, RCC
The experience of emotional intimacy is one of deep trust, connectedness and satisfaction. It is about talking to your partner about what is going on under the surface for you at any given moment. It is about immediacy and transparency. It is about emotionally turning towards your partner instead of away when things feel hard and overwhelming. It is the ability to share your inner world with your partner in a way that leaves you feeling truly seen and heard. Emotional intimacy is achieved through learning, and practicing with intention, a variety of strategies that allow you to experience new ways of thinking about, and existing within, your relationship. The effort required to cultivate these habits is well worth it. Couples experience deeper connection, dramatically enriched physical and sexual intimacy and greater emotional fulfillment. What could be better than that? The reality is that many couples don’t know where to start. Michelle loves working with couples to begin the journey towards emotional intimacy, and enjoys helping them nurture it over time.
Michelle specializes in helping couples become great communicators. She is passionate about helping her clients learn and implement the building blocks of effective, healthy communication. These include strategies for mindful listening, engaging with respect, achieving clarity, and finding the courage to be open. Mindful listening is all about the giving of one’s full attention and being utterly present in the moment. Engaging with respect involves maintaining full responsibility for one’s own thoughts, feelings and behavioural responses. This allows people to stay out of blame and past hurts. Tools for achieving clarity in communication include being specific about what you are saying and being honest with yourself and your partner about your objectives. The courage to be open requires embracing the habits of transparency, immediacy, turning towards one’s partner, and of course, healthy boundaries. Does this all sound a bit daunting? Yes, it does! Can you achieve this? Absolutely. Let Michelle show you how.

Abby Rizzolo
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
You might be ready to change unwanted relationship patterns but aren't sure how, wanting to learn new ways of communicating, or are hoping to build more fulfilling, connected relationships. Choosing to embark in relationship counselling isn't a failure, but a vote of hope for you and your relationship. Seeking support is much easier than doing it alone. I offer relationship counselling for a wide variety of partnership dynamics - married, dating, monogamous, polyamorous, ENM, triads, families, and more. I sometimes draw on my trainings in Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy and the Gottman Method of couples therapy to support you.

Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Relationships don't struggle because people stop caring. They struggle because patterns get established, communication breaks down, and two people can end up feeling like strangers while still sharing a life. I work with couples using Gottman Method as a foundation, with space for the real texture of what's happening between you. That includes conflict, but also distance, disconnection, and intimacy mismatch.

Relationships and marriage are challenging and often bring out what we need to heal the most. What needs to be addressed and looked at in the present in the past will all be looked at and worked on as necessary in order to heal.

Melissa MacNeill
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, Certified EFIT, EFCT, and EFFT Therapist, MACP
There's little more exhilarating than finding new love or devastating than the death of a relationship. You feel like you have tried everything but it just isn't working. You love each other and the thought of divorce is terrifying. You feel stuck, but you don't know what to do. I can help. I work alongside you to help you better understand where you are getting stuck and what to do differently. Together, we'll work to restructure problematic patterns of responding, and rekindle your connection.
I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) in my work with couples. EFT is often referred to as the gold standard in couples therapy. The efficacy of the approach is well supported by research with over 90% of couples reporting increased satisfaction in their relationships. Additionally, the results have been found to be stable over time.
