Nakasha Ogbonna
Registered Social Worker, RSW
Merging the lives of two individuals is no easy task and there is no such thing as a "perfect" mate nor relationship. Naturally this means that each relationship will face its share of hardships. I am a qualified therapist that is here to help you navigate through some of these challenges --- whether in the early stages of your relationship, preparing for marriage, or many years into your union. I do not take sides. In couples counselling I help couples rebuild and/or strengthen their sense of friendship and partnership, intimacy, respect and appreciation, ability to manage conflicts in a healthy and effective manner, heal through feelings of betrayal, understand one another's inner world, honour and support each other's dreams, establish a shared vision, and ultimately strengthen your sense of commitment.

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.

Ellie Borden
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, RP
Many people that come into our lives can most often help us identify things that we need to heal. As with any relationship, when giving therapy, the therapist must take into account the dynamics of the relationship. Relationship dynamics give us great insight into our own needs for healing particular aspects of our lives so the we may fulfill our potential or feel whole. Learn to identify communication danger signs in your relationships – escalation, invalidation, negative interpretations, and withdraw. Understand how filters such as inattention, emotional states, mind-reading, differences in styles, and defensiveness are harming your relationships – and how to stop them!

Whitney Reinhart
Registered Psychotherapist, MA., RP.
Relationships have the opportunity to make us feel supported and nurtured, but they often can leave us feeling overwhelmed, insecure, and disconnected at times. I work from a emotionally focused, attachment-based, and psychodynamic framework in order to help couples better understand their emotional and attachment worlds and build intimacy and security within their relationships. Together we will uncover core emotional wounds and learn ways of communicating your inner experiences, emotions, and needs to each other in ways they can truly understand and respond.

Jane Husak
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, YTT, RP, CRPO
I am a sex positive therapist. I believe relationships are a great vehicle for growth and have the potential to teach us who we truly are. I am a Gestalt trained psychotherapist and work from a relational and embodied perspective. Together we will address your goals for therapy. In order to move closer together you must understand how you are each different. How your individual behaviors have an impact on the other and visa-versa. We will address foundational communication skills, your individual comfort with vulnerability, and how you both deal with conflict. I am always thrilled to see couples create meaningful change by strengthening friendship, restoring intimacy, and living with joy!

Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Couples can often become fixated on repairing their partners’ behavior and waiting for the other to change before feeling content in the relationship. However, in my work with couples, I have found it fruitful to explore how each person in the relationship is contributing to a dynamic that they would like to change. I also believe that therapy should be a space where each person can express their views and feel validated and accepted by their partner(s). Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy Inc.
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Remember that you fell in love for a reason, and that is reason enough to save your relationship. The Gottman Model is based on over 40 years of scientific research with a 92 percentile success rate. Fact is, that lack of communication can drive a spike between two people wider than any physical distance. This is a safe, empathetic and unbiased environment. The first step is choosing to come to therapy TOGETHER.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.A., RSW
I offer relationship therapy for individuals and can provide guidance on how to approach conversations with your partner as well as provide insight into ways to counteract negative dynamics in your relationship. Oftentimes, we are afraid to focus on the negative aspects of our relationships because we jump to the worst case scenarios in our minds. But there are lots of options between status quo and worst case scenarios, many of which may bring you greater happiness within your relationship.
