Relationship and Marriage Counseling therapists in Waterfront Communities-The Island, Ontario ON, Canada CA
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.

Jess Erb
Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
It can be hard to keep the spark alive in any relationship, but especially long-term relationships in which patterns have been established. Working from a psychdynamic lens, we look at how couples may have navigated their relationship as an adjunct to past traumas, and attachment styles.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
Are you sick of having the same argument over and over again? Do you feel disconnected from your partner - like you've grown apart? Are you unhappy with your sex life, experiencing low desire, or maybe things aren't working the way you'd like them to (erectile dysfunction, inability to achieve orgasm, painful intercourse)? Do you miss how things used to be but have no idea how to get them back? We can help.
As couples therapists, our goal is to help your relationship by helping you and your partner understand your difficulties, overcome your challenges and rejoice in your newfound connections.
We can provide the skills necessary to improve communication, disarm conflict, re-establish structure, remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy, create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding of one another and improve closeness, intimacy, respect, and affection.
We provide a safe space for all couples including couples who are non-monogamous/polyamorous, bicultural/syncretic, neuro-divergent, and LGBTQ+.
We support couples at any stage of their relationship and seeking support for various challenges including:
- fertility & family planning
- infidelity
- conflict & resolution skills
- pre-marital counselling
- long distance dating
- couples affected my mental health and trauma
- couples considering divorce/separation
- couples who are co-parenting (blended families)
Healing is possible - healing with those closest to you strengthens the effects.

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.

Michelle Iacobucci
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My background in relational therapy allows me to understand individuals through the relationships they cohabit. Couple therapy may be a vehicle for growth to occur both relationally and individually. This in turn may assist in bringing you closer to your desired goals through understanding and breaking down language used in romantic relationships. Throughout couple sessions, I lean towards emotionally focused therapy, as I have witnessed its transformative effects particularly in romantic relationships. Please contact me for a free consultation to learn more about my approach and to determine if we would be a good fit.

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.
