Relationship and Marriage Counseling
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.

Nakasha Ogbonna
Registered Social Worker, RSW
Merging the lives of two individuals is no easy task and there is no such thing as a "perfect" mate nor relationship. Naturally this means that each relationship will face its share of hardships. I am a qualified therapist that is here to help you navigate through some of these challenges --- whether in the early stages of your relationship, preparing for marriage, or many years into your union. I do not take sides. In couples counselling I help couples rebuild and/or strengthen their sense of friendship and partnership, intimacy, respect and appreciation, ability to manage conflicts in a healthy and effective manner, heal through feelings of betrayal, understand one another's inner world, honour and support each other's dreams, establish a shared vision, and ultimately strengthen your sense of commitment.

Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Intimate relationships are like a dance – they can be quite joyful and energizing but when facing obstacles, partners need to find the steps and rhythm to move more freely. Couple therapy can provide a safe space in which you and your partner can gain a deeper understanding of one another and what contributes to difficulties within the dance of your relationship. Should you decide to attend sessions, I will work with you to facilitate honest conversations, help you to better understand what you may need from one another, and support you in finding a way to step toward more acceptance, intimacy, and connection. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
When it comes to couples, the total is greater than the sum of its parts. Therefore, in couple therapy, the focus is not on the two sides of the equation. Rather, the object of inquiry and therapy is the relationship between those two sides. The therapy examines the interpersonal relationship and treats it as a third space. Therefore, the goal is not to change the individuals but to change the way they communicate, understand, and accept each other. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
