Relationship Therapy

Inclusive Online Therapy for Couples and Partners Across Ontario

“Great relationships don’t just fall into our laps. They require people to move through their fears and insecurities and do the hard work to move wounds in to healing.”

– Vienna Pharaon, Author and Relational Therapist

Different day, same fight.

You don’t remember the last time you had a fun, easy day with your partner. It’s the fifth time you’ve fought over the same thing this week. Why won’t they just listen?

You know relationships take work, but between conflicting parenting approaches, broken trust, and growing resentment, you’re starting to wonder how things could ever get better.

Your communication is off the rails, and it feels like everything that used to bring you closer is breaking down. You miss when you’re partner felt like home.

You vaguely remember the spark of how it all felt in the beginning, but your partner is beginning to look more like an irritating roommate than a soulmate.

Find your way back to each other.

Imagine reigniting the passion.

You feel connected again, on a deeper level than ever.

You’ve learned to communicate your wants, needs, and boundaries. Hello intimacy, goodbye resentment!

You feel aligned as parents, partners, and people. You’re healing old wounds, rebuilding trust, and you finally feel fully seen and respected in your relationship. Instead of sacrificing piece of you, you’re able to bring your whole self to your partner and be loved for all parts of who you are.

Re-build the trust, re-kindle the spark.

We know how common breakups and divorces have become, so we don’t take relationships for granted. We understand firsthand the work that goes into creating a healthy partnership, and we’ll help you bridge the gaps before the distance gets too wide.

Together, we’ll work on resolving conflicts in ways that actually feel resolved—no more having the same argument on loop. And if your relationship is in a good place, we’ll build long-lasting skills to help it stay that way.

We’ll offer a safe space for both of you to talk about the challenges of the relationship, and the good parts too. We want you to leave each session feeling like a team, working together against problems instead of against each other.

Who this type of therapy is for:

 → You are in a relationship: whether you’re married, dating, queer, straight, common-law, new parents, polyamorous, monogamous, an interracial couple, in an open relationship, in a triad, in a polycule, or trying your own creative approach to love and dating. All relationship forms are warmly welcomed here!

→ You’re arguing or shutting down often, and the problems never get fully resolved. You’re back at square one day after day, and you miss the passion you had before you felt like moody roommates.  

→ You sometimes see your partner(s) as the enemy, no matter how much you love them. You rarely feel like you’re working together as a team.   

→ You’re dealing with broken trust. From singular events like one-time infidelity to slow burn patterns of resentment, you deserve support in rebuilding the love and safety you once had.

→ You’re in a really healthy relationship, but want to build your communication and conflict resolution skills for when life inevitably throws you a curveball (and yes, often the sooner you start couple’s therapy, the easier it is to do the work)!

You don’t have to be in a bad place to start couple’s therapy, and it’s never too soon to work on your partnership.
