Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
My second book Connecting: Rewire Your Relationship-Culture is devoted to all things "relationship". I find that couples become unhappy in their relationships often not because of the big things like infidelity... it is all about the accumulations of little things that over time simply destroy the relationship.
We tackle the "pre-marital" checklist to ensure that their relationship-culture remains healthy. I think this work is essential since, in my experience, so many couples end up in couples’ therapy because they did not do this kind of due diligence early on. Getting real about why you chose this person, what your inner motivations are and what your family-culture influences may be are so important to ensure a successful marriage and relationship-culture.
When one enters the realm of long-term relationships and marriage, it seems that despite good intentions to not be influenced by their family of origin’s dysfunction, the autopilot “marriage personality” seems to crop up.
We work with how to fight fairly, how to communicate when triggered, micro aggressions and the the Gottman "turning away versus turning towards" principles that left unchecked will deteriorate the foundation of the relationship.
We tackle Relationship Rescue 911 when the relationship is in crisis and unpack Gottman's four horseman of destruction of a relationship and the way out of those patterns. (Dr. Gottman named four negative behavior patterns that can predict divorce. He called these destructive patterns “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” ,
• Criticism: Passing judgments. Nitpicking. Constantly finding fault in the other person. Using “you” sentences; for example, “You need to go on a diet” or “You dress like a child.” Using the words “always” and “never” in sentences describing your partner; for example, “You always think only about yourself,” “You never do things the right way” or “You never do anything for me.”
• Contempt: Feeling that the other person is inferior to you. Feeling that you are superior to the other person. Having no respect for the other person. Feeling disgusted with the other person; for example, saying, “What’s wrong with you?” “You’re disgusting!” “I can’t believe I’m even with you.”
• Defensiveness: The communication is coming from a perceived feeling of an attack. Feeling like the victim in the dynamics. Feeling as though you have to constantly protect yourself. The communication comes off as angry, corrective, protective; for example, “It’s not my fault that we don’t communicate well.”
• Stonewalling: Completely shutting the other person out. No longer interacting with the other person. Emotionally amputating the other person. Ignoring them. Behaving as though the other person does not exist. Freezing the other person out as a punishment for not doing what you want them to do or behaving the way you want them to behave.
We tackle coping with Conflict and Anger in a Healthy Way through powerful communication techniques including "Initiate and Reflect".

Remember that you fell in love for a reason, and that is reason enough to save your relationship. The Gottman Model is based on over 40 years of scientific research with a 92 percentile success rate. Fact is, that lack of communication can drive a spike between two people wider than any physical distance. This is a safe, empathetic and unbiased environment. The first step is choosing to come to therapy TOGETHER.

Kennedy McLean Counselling & Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Relationships are complex. We all come with our own ideas, values, beliefs, and past wounds. Part of being in a relationship or marriage means learning to work together, compromise and communicate with your partner. Easier said than done. There are so many ways we can miscommunicate without even realizing it and end up hurting our partner or feeling hurt ourselves. Without understanding how to work through and move past these hurts they build into resentments, putting our relationship at risk. This is where many couples are when they come to therapy. There is underlying resentment or a major betrayal. We work together to move the relationship into a healthier place, where both partners are able to accept responsibility for themselves and their role in the relationship and learn healthier ways of being with one another.

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.

Healthy relationships and marriage take work. Each person needs to feel seen and heard. What may work for one couple may not work for another. It's important to learn about each other and create a relationship that works for both fo you.
