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.

Lauren Jin Yong Schneider
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P. (Qualifying)
I work to support couples experiencing issues related to intimacy, emotional distance, communication, conflict, betrayals and trust, and life transitions (i.e., marriage, divorce, loss, childbirth). My approach draws from the Gottman method and CBT sex therapy for couples, targeting aspects of conflicting verbal communication; intimacy, respect, affection, and empathy between partners; removal of resistances, issues, and/or sexual concerns that create stagnancy and distance; and increasing intimacy and eroticism to create/maintain desire within the relationship.

Chris Pankewich
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Masters of Counselling Psychology (MACP)
We all strive to have healthy, loving, and supportive relationships where we can have the space to be ourselves, while also feeling connected to our partners. Our daily lives, major life transitions, and difficult individual circumstances can create challenges in relationships and leave us susceptible to getting stuck in unhelpful patterns. Working together, as a couple, in a therapeutic environment involves shifting these patterns of interaction and developing healthy communication to work together, as a unit to resolve problems and conflicts you may be experiencing while gaining deeper insight of ourselves and our partners. Schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.

Ellie Borden
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, RP
Many people that come into our lives can most often help us identify things that we need to heal. As with any relationship, when giving therapy, the therapist must take into account the dynamics of the relationship. Relationship dynamics give us great insight into our own needs for healing particular aspects of our lives so the we may fulfill our potential or feel whole. Learn to identify communication danger signs in your relationships – escalation, invalidation, negative interpretations, and withdraw. Understand how filters such as inattention, emotional states, mind-reading, differences in styles, and defensiveness are harming your relationships – and how to stop them!

Whitney Reinhart
Registered Psychotherapist, MA., RP.
Relationships have the opportunity to make us feel supported and nurtured, but they often can leave us feeling overwhelmed, insecure, and disconnected at times. I work from a emotionally focused, attachment-based, and psychodynamic framework in order to help couples better understand their emotional and attachment worlds and build intimacy and security within their relationships. Together we will uncover core emotional wounds and learn ways of communicating your inner experiences, emotions, and needs to each other in ways they can truly understand and respond.
