A steady third presence to help you slow down, hear each other, and change the way you tackle life's challenges together. Start with a free 15-minute consult, together or on your own.
Tell us a little about your relationship and we aim to be in touch within 60 minutes during business hours.
We aim to be in touch within 60 minutes during business hours to book your free 15-minute consultation. Keep an eye on your phone and email.
The same argument on a loop, just with different details. The silence that's easier than another blow-up. The feeling of being more like roommates than partners. Struggling doesn't mean your relationship is failing. It means you're human, and something needs to be heard.
“Rebuild the conversation that matters.”
Four steps that shape how we work together, built around what you're actually bringing, not a template. A balanced, non-judgmental space where both partners feel safe to be honest.
We map the pattern that keeps playing out, not to assign blame, but to see what you're both reacting to.
We help each partner share what's underneath the frustration: the needs, fears, and hopes driving the cycle.
We build small experiments (new responses, new conversations) that interrupt the pattern in real life.
We strengthen the foundation so the relationship holds through future stress, long after therapy ends.
Our couples therapists draw on the most well-researched approaches in the field, so the work you do together is grounded in what actually helps relationships change.
Every therapist below works with relationships and is verified with the CRPO or OCSWSSW. Pick whoever feels like the right fit, or filter by how you'd like to meet, and book a free 15-minute consultation in two clicks.

Reaching out as a couple is hard enough. We've designed everything around removing the friction, so the hardest part is behind you.
Both partners feel heard. Our therapists hold a non-judgmental space where no one is the villain and both of you can be honest.
EFT, the Gottman Method, and attachment-based work: the most researched approaches in couples therapy, not generic advice.
No paying upfront and chasing reimbursement. We bill your insurer directly wherever possible, so cost is one less stressor.
Meet at our Centrepointe office in Ottawa, or together from your own living room anywhere in Ontario, whatever's easier to coordinate.
Sessions seven days a week, 8am to 8pm, so you can find a time that works for both of your schedules.
Couples of all genders, orientations, and relationship structures are welcome. Sliding-scale spots available if cost is a barrier.
Deciding to try couples therapy is a big step, and you don't have to be certain to take it. A free 15-minute call helps you see if the fit feels right, before either of you commits to anything.
That's more common than you'd think, and it's completely okay. Relationship work can absolutely start with one partner, and understanding your own patterns often shifts the dynamic. You're welcome to begin on your own and bring your partner in when they're ready.
We bill most insurance providers directly, so in many cases you won't pay out of pocket and wait for reimbursement. Coverage for couples therapy varies by plan, so mention your provider during your free consult and we'll help you check.
Completely free, with zero obligation. It's a relaxed conversation to help you decide whether a therapist feels like the right fit before you commit to anything.
Both. We offer in-person sessions at our office at 1 Centrepointe Dr, Suite 404 in Ottawa, and secure virtual sessions anywhere in Ontario. Online is especially handy for couples juggling work and childcare, since you can join from the same couch.
Our couples therapists draw on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and attachment-based approaches: the most well-researched methods for helping couples understand their patterns, communicate without blame, repair trust, and build lasting connection.
Couples come to us at every stage, from a small rough patch to the edge of separation. Whether you're rebuilding after a breach of trust or simply want to feel close again, it's worth a conversation. Therapy isn't only for crisis; it's also how good relationships get stronger.
Whether you're in crisis or simply want to feel close again, we're here to help you reconnect. Your free 15-minute consultation is just a click away, and there's no obligation to continue.
