Meaningfully Connected Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
Do you feel disheartened about your relationship? Is there a growing gap between you and your partner that you just can’t seem to close? Do you feel you are stuck in a cycle or dynamic that leaves you both feeling isolated and hopeless? Are your lows lower and more frequent than they used to be? I want you to know you are in the right place. Together, we can transform your isolation and negative communication patterns into connection and intimacy. By committing yourself to the process, you can move towards security and connection and a place where you and your partner feel loved, seen and heard by one other.
Using an emotionally-focused approach, helps you and your partner feel safer, as a step towards being able to communicate your deepest and most vulnerable feelings and needs to one another. We can help you communicate what you are trying to say to your partner, in a way that they can hear you. Often this first requires learning to identify faulty communication patterns and how to de-escalate a fight.
Drawing on attachment-based methods, our licensed marriage and family therapists use emotion-focused principles with couples and individuals who are seeking to transform their relationships. We will get to the heart of the issue. There is no more important work than healing your relationship and home, and you deserve nothing less than specialized help! We look forward to working with you.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
When it comes to couples, the total is greater than the sum of its parts. Therefore, in couple therapy, the focus is not on the two sides of the equation. Rather, the object of inquiry and therapy is the relationship between those two sides. The therapy examines the interpersonal relationship and treats it as a third space. Therefore, the goal is not to change the individuals but to change the way they communicate, understand, and accept each other. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Kennedy McLean Counselling & Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist
Relationships are complex. We all come with our own ideas, values, beliefs, and past wounds. Part of being in a relationship or marriage means learning to work together, compromise and communicate with your partner. Easier said than done. There are so many ways we can miscommunicate without even realizing it and end up hurting our partner or feeling hurt ourselves. Without understanding how to work through and move past these hurts they build into resentments, putting our relationship at risk. This is where many couples are when they come to therapy. There is underlying resentment or a major betrayal. We work together to move the relationship into a healthier place, where both partners are able to accept responsibility for themselves and their role in the relationship and learn healthier ways of being with one another.

Reaching out to a couples therapist can be uncomfortable... but living out the same issues day in and day out is probably more so! I help individuals and couples heal and repair relationship issues using the Gottman Method approach. Couples often appreciate my warm and non-judgmental approach to this work. Couples counselling is not about figuring out 'who is right' but about figuring how to move relationships to a place of greater harmony, peace, and enjoyment together. I offer a free initial consult call.

Psychologist, C.Psych.
Whether you are in a crisis or just want to improve/strengthen your relationship, we are here to help.
The MindFit Couples Workouts are great for couples who want to:
• De-escalate arguments, learn to respectfully disagree, and resolve relationship roadblocks

• Improve communication skills and understand relationship dynamics to better deal with issues as they come up
• Learn skills foster better mental and physical health
• Be relationship Masters (not Disasters!)
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.

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.

Matt Temple
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P., C.C.C.
During my M.A. I specialized in families and couples. This program introduced various theoretical approaches and techniques. I personally gravitate towards the Imago approach, the Gottman Method, and Stan Tatkin's writings. I believe that we can experience deep healing through relationships and that we seek this out, often without realizing it. However, we are frequently left unable to express what we are looking for and continue to have our needs unmet. I work with couples to explore these needs, understand them, take ownership of them, express them, and heal from them.

Counsellor/Therapist, MA, Registered Provisional Psychologist (AB), RP (ON), CT, CCC, CCTP
“Relationships” come in all shapes and sizes and they can be difficult to form and maintain and even end. There are relationships with partners, potential partners, ex-partners, other partners, colleagues, bosses, employees, friends, family, extended family, neighbours — even distant relationships such as with acquaintances, business associates, your barber, your condo manager or landlord, etc.
Individual counselling can often assist with many kinds of relationships even though the other party or parties are not present in the therapy, as often when one person makes a change, the nature of the relationship can change too.
Some ways in which this can happen include:
Working on communication skills.
Learning to better understand ad cope with someone else’s behaviour that you find confusing.
Learning to respond in ways that are aligned with who you want to be.
Learning how to manage conflict (most people I talk to hate conflict!)
Exploring how you feel and think about your relationships so as to bring you some clarity.
Learning how to be more emotionally close to your partner.
Becoming aware of how past relationships of various types might be impacting current relationships.
And other ways.
If any of the above seems like it might help you and your relationships and well-being, contact me today for a free consultation. I would be delighted to speak with you about how I might be able to assist.

Susanna Damiani di Vergada
Registered Social Worker
In couples I always see immense potential for growth, support and care. We are the most vulnerable when we are in an intimate partner relationship, and that is why any conflict cuts so much deeper and hurts to a bigger extent than any other conflict. We become disconnected in our primary place of connection and it can be very unsettling and hurtful. I will help you break through that disconnection. I will help you tune into each other's deepest emotions to build the safe, meaningful emotional connection you are longing for. Through couple therapy my goal is to create change and build positive bonding and long lasting relationships.

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.
