Feeling Disconnected?
Couples & relationship therapy that meets you where you are.
Relationships are hard (There, we said it). Whether you’re feeling disconnected, stuck in the same old arguments, or just trying to figure out how to be on the same page again, couples therapy can help. We’re here with relationship counselling in West Edmonton and online to hold the middle––so you can each speak your truth and feel heard while working through the hard stuff.
Let’s Untangle the Tension––Together
What We Work On:
Communication breakdowns, conflict resolution, emotional distance, or constant fighting
Trust issues, infidelity, or resentment
Navigating parenting, the mental load, or major life transitions
Reconnecting with your partner or strengthening connection—even if things aren’t “bad,” just off
Approaches for Relationship Therapy
Every relationship is different. There’s no one-size-fits-all formula for connection. Our therapists draw from evidence-based approaches that are structured, research-backed, and adaptable to your unique dynamic.
Some of the approaches we integrate include:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT focuses on attachment, emotional safety, and the patterns that keep couples stuck. It helps partners identify negative interaction cycles, understand the emotions underneath conflict, and build secure, lasting connection. Jayme
The Gottman Method
Grounded in decades of research, the Gottman Method focuses on strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, and increasing friendship and intimacy. It offers practical tools you can apply outside the therapy room so growth can continue between sessions. Jayme & Loree
Trauma-Informed Relationship Therapy
Sometimes conflict isn’t just about communication—it’s about nervous system responses, past wounds, or survival patterns formed long before the relationship began. We work gently and intentionally when trauma is part of the picture. Abhishek, Jayme & Loree
Attachment-Based Work
We explore how early relational experiences shape how you show up in partnership—especially around closeness, conflict, and vulnerability and emotional needs. Abhishek
Cognitive & Skills-Based Approaches
When helpful, we incorporate structured tools to support communication, boundary-setting, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution. Abhishek, Jayme & Loree
Our work is collaborative and guided. We don’t sit back and let sessions drift, but we also don’t force a rigid framework onto your relationship. We adapt our approach to what will provide the greatest clarity, safety, and forward momentum for you both.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do we both have to attend every session?
Not always. While joint sessions are common, your provider might recommend the occasional individual session to explore personal dynamics. It’s all tailored to what’s most helpful for your relationship.
-
Do I need to have insurance to book a session?
Nope! While we offer direct billing to over 20 insurance providers, we also have sliding-scale options to make therapy more accessible for those without coverage. If you’re unsure about costs, reach out—we’ll figure out the best option for you.
-
Is a doctor's note or referral required?
Only if your specific insurance company or benefits provider requires one; otherwise, we accept self-referrals!
-
What if we don’t know if we want to stay together?
Totally okay. Couples therapy isn’t just for people trying to “fix” things—it’s also a space to gain clarity. Whether you stay, separate, or stay unsure, we’re here to support open, honest conversations.
-
Will the therapist take sides?
Nope. Our providers are here to support both of you. The goal is to understand patterns, not place blame. Everyone deserves to feel heard and respected in the room.
-
How long are sessions?
Standard sessions are 50 minutes, and we also offer extended sessions (75–120 minutes) for couples who want a bit more space to dig in. Just let us know what you prefer up front, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your scheduling preferences!
