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.

Ivan Pityk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Relationships are sometimes difficult to understand and navigate, be it with your partner, family member or a close friend. Knowing when to set and maintain boundaries, communicating your needs or negotiating the needs of yourself and others can all feel overwhelming.
Learning these skills can often help to foster more meaningful and deeper relationships in our lives where we can be ourselves without the fear of rejection. They can also help us repair relationship ruptures and improve understanding of ourselves and others.

Kristie Brassard & Associates
Registered Social Worker, RSW
Working on the relationship requires an openness to learn, grow and reflect as a couple. The focus in sessions is to shift the oppositional energy, allowing the couple to come together as a team trying to overcome challenges. In sessions you'll learn to regulate emotions, communicate more effectively, and bring intentional joy into the relationship to strengthen your bonds as a couple and breed deeper connection for longer lasting, healthier love. Monogamous and polyamorous couples of all genders, sexual orientations and cultural backgrounds are welcome.

Cara Briscoe
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Couple therapy is a broad term for folks who wish to address relationship concerns or would like assistance in navigating their relationship. Presenting topics may include breaches of trust, infidelity, (co)parenting, sex and intimacy, separation, exploration of relationship structure or general conflict and arguments. Often times, at nobody’s fault, couples may get caught in patterns of interaction that bring a lot of pain to the relationship. I will assist you in identifying these harmful interactions and work towards breaking that cycle with new ways of relating to each other. I am affirming of polyamorous and ethical non-monogamous relationships. Contact me today to book a free consultation.

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.

Relationship issues can be overwhelming, fueling feelings of insecurity, anger, resentment, regret and frustration. In session we will explore your attachment style and the unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that keep you in patterns that are no longer serving you. This can include helping you be a better individual and partner in your existing relationship, or helping you uncover why you choose the partners you do.

Lori Ralko
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.A., RSW
While I do not provide couples therapy, I do 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.

Ms. Colette Conheady
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., R.P.,CCC
We live in relationship with ourselves and each other. Both are impacted by changes in our own or our partner's ,moods, behaviours, emotional states, and thought processes. In this case, individuals may seek help as a couple , individually or both. It is important to keep our expectations of change realistic. It has taken us all quite some time to become as we are. Real growth and change has to be allowed to evolve and usually takes patience and time.
