Jaswir Dhillon
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
Relationships are complex, and even the strongest connections can struggle under the weight of miscommunication, resentment, or unmet needs. Whether you’re feeling distant, stuck in conflict, or hoping to strengthen your bond, I offer a supportive space where both partners can feel seen and understood. Together, we’ll work to rebuild trust, deepen understanding, heal attachment wounds, and cultivate a healthier, more satisfying relationship.

Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
Art therapy can be an effective tool in relationship and marriage counseling, offering a creative space to explore and express complex emotions, deepen communication, and rebuild connection. Through the art-making process, you and your partner can externalize feelings, identify patterns, and explore new ways to relate to one another. This nonverbal approach fosters empathy, understanding, and a deeper sense of connection. My approach integrates mindfulness, body-based practices, and trauma-informed care, supporting couples in navigating challenges, improving communication, and cultivating a more harmonious and authentic relationship.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Maria Yaglovski
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)
Couples therapy is a collaborative approach and a safe space to communicate how you feel. Marriage and couples counseling tends to deal with present-day events rather than the past. It focuses on the 'now' and the challenges of married life so that you can get your relationship back on track. Couples therapy deals with the present day but also any history that causes unhealthy patterns of relating. Using the Gottman Method, I focus on communication and conflict resolution and what areas need improvement where we will then learn about creating new connections and rituals. We will also focus on building new meanings and shared value systems that will help you strengthen your relationships.

Matthew Pitts
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology
Together, we can explore and work on your relationship in a safe and confidential space. You don't have to go it alone as a couple. I’m a husband and father and previously worked as a family law lawyer. I’ve experienced family dynamics, conflict, and transformation. I bring an empathic but analytical style, seeking in part to act as host, moderator and translator for couples looking to work on their relationship. If this resonates with you, reach out for a free Zoom consultation.

Ekaterina Kapoustina
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
I work with monogamous, CNM and polyamorous relationships supporting partners in exploring the growing disconnect and possible experiences of betrayal. Through mapping out their relational cycles, partners gain new language and have opportunities to try on new ways of interacting with each other in a softer and more vulnerable way that decreases chances of criticism and defensiveness. Couples therapy in not just when things go wrong or for those who have been together and married for 50 years, rather it's also helpful for partners early in their dating and newly weds who are trying to build a foundation of honest, open, and curious conversations.

Malika Chandra
Registered Psychotherapist, MPS, RP (Qualifying)
When you choose to explore couple’s therapy, there is often a desire to connect with your partner but a piling up of unresolved emotions that may motivate you to seek help. As a therapist, I use that same desire to try to help you recognize the patterns of communication that are preventing you from understanding each other. I would like to validate both your experiences and foster a new kind of communication that can hold space for both your needs. If you are ready to rebuild your relationship, call now for a free consultation.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Sage Ariel Seguin
Registered Psychotherapist, QRP, MACP
I work with individuals and couples on the relational patterns that quietly shape how we show up with the people we love — people-pleasing, boundary challenges, and attachment wounds that can leave both partners feeling unseen or stretched too thin. For neurodivergent clients and mixed-neurotype couples, we also explore how ADHD, sensory differences, and rejection sensitivity show up in the relationship. Drawing on IFS, EFT, and mindfulness, we work toward more honest communication and a deeper sense of connection — to yourself and each other.

Dennis Keefe
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A.
I offer relationship focused therapy to individuals experiencing relationship issues. Often this will start with a focus on early life experience with family members and friends that may have shaped certain beliefs and behaviours that are no longer serving the client today. Assertive communication is a big focus as well. Learning how to ask for what one needs and saying "no" to what one doesn't want can be transformative.

Lori Ralko
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.

Barbara Freedman
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor
Relationships
Would be willing to work on your relationship through counselling? If so, it is necessary to be aware that you are not alone in that we all experience relationship issues at one time or another. In particular insecure attachment and trust issues are quite common. These may originate from earlier experiences as if you felt you were not loved unconditionally this would understandably make you fearful of losing a loved one. We can explore solutions to address the issues you may be experiencing in your relationship. This in addition to learning to successfully explain what is going on inside of you, to your partner, in a way in which they can hear you, along with learning how to ask for what you need. These goals can be achieved through the exercises that I offer. I have been dealing with relationship issues daily, for the past 10 years as a trauma informed counsellor. This including couples who have been through trauma and or tremendous stress together. I have learnt that so long as both member of a couple wishes to remain together and work on their issues, it is extremely possible to make this a reality.

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.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
