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.

- infidelity
- conflict & resolution skills
- pre-marital counselling
- long distance dating
- couples affected my mental health and trauma

Healing is possible - healing with those closest to you strengthens the effects.

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.

True Health Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Tracey Nguyen, Holistic Advanced Nurse Psychotherapist RN, MN
I specialize in trauma-informed, faith-based relationship and marriage counselling, focusing on dynamics involving narcissistic abuse and codependency. My approach emphasizes individual growth within the relationship, empowering you to reclaim personal power, set healthy boundaries, and speak your truth without trying to change your partner. By healing your own patterns-releasing control, managing expectations, and taking responsibility for your emotions-you disrupt unhealthy dynamics, like enabling, that may perpetuate conflict. I guide you to let go of guilt, resentment, and the need to fix others, fostering grace, forgiveness, and emotional freedom. For Christian couples, we integrate faith, trusting God's work in you and your partner while incorporating prayer to support healing. Together, we build a stronger, healthier connection rooted in personal accountability and spiritual alignment.

Compassionate Support for Couples
Relationships thrive when both partners feel truly heard, understood, and emotionally supported. As a relationship and marriage counselor, I specialize in helping couples tune into each other’s needs, navigate challenges with empathy, and build deeper, more authentic connection.
My approach blends evidence-based techniques with intuitive, heart-centered listening. Together, we create a space where each partner can safely express what’s beneath the surface—needs, fears, longings—and learn how to respond to one another with care and clarity.
Areas We Explore Together:
• Communication breakdowns and emotional misattunement
• Trust, intimacy, and the need for emotional safety
• Navigating conflict with respect and responsiveness
• Life transitions, stressors, and shifting roles
• Pre-marital preparation and conscious partnership
What to Expect
Sessions are designed to help both partners:
• Speak openly and feel genuinely heard
• Understand each other’s emotional landscape—not just words, but needs beneath them
• Learn tools for clear, compassionate communication
• Work through conflict with curiosity instead of defensiveness
• Strengthen the emotional bond and build a more resilient connection
Every relationship carries its own rhythm and story. My role is to support that journey—helping you listen more deeply, respond more intentionally, and grow together with greater awareness.

Jane Allen
Psychologist, Master Counselling, BSc. Eng, MBA
I work with couples to identify what their toxic patterns are. Depending on the patterns, we can work on understanding communication styles and modifying unhelpful ones. I can also work with you to understand your personalities, expectations, values, future goals and dreams. Discrepancies in sexual desire is a common issue. I have experience in guiding couples to better understand their sexual natures and to find more mutual satisfaction in their sexual relationships.
