Hi, I'm Nadia!

As a couples therapist, I firmly believe that even the strongest relationships can thrive when partners develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of one another. My passion lies in supporting couples who may have lost their connection or sense of appreciation and are eager to rediscover the love they once shared. Drawing from my lived experiences as a South Asian-Muslim woman, I have a deep understanding of how cultural and religious values influence our views on relationships and partnerships. I integrate this cultural awareness with an Emotion-Focused and Attachment-Based approach to guide couples through their unique challenges, helping them heal and rebuild their connection.
I believe that understanding attachment styles, conflict patterns, and communication dynamics is essential for creating a healthy and fulfilling relationship. I am here to help you explore these aspects, gaining valuable insight into yourself and your partner. Together, we can identify and reshape these dynamics, fostering healthier patterns that cultivate emotional intimacy, trust, and resilience. My goal is to create a compassionate, supportive space where you can grow closer, communicate more effectively, and ultimately thrive as a couple. With my guidance, we will work to restore love, trust, and understanding, building a lasting and beautiful union.

Hi, I'm Maryam!

In my couples therapy practice, I am deeply committed to helping partners build stronger, more connected relationships. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I work with couples to address and resolve relational challenges by fostering a deeper understanding and emotional bond. My approach is both holistic and culturally sensitive, which means I take into account the whole person and the unique cultural backgrounds and dynamics that each partner brings into therapy.

I believe that every relationship is unique, and so I tailor my approach to meet the specific needs of each couple. Whether you are navigating communication difficulties, dealing with conflicts, or striving to rekindle your connection, my goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where both partners can openly express themselves. In this space, you will feel heard, valued, and empowered to work through challenges and foster lasting change together.

Registered Social Worker

Hi, I'm Anna!

I believe in developing a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for healing and growth and in cultivating a supportive and non-judgemental environment. I focus on Emotion-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy to support couples with a variety of challenges. In sessions, we will explore attachment styles/strategies as we work to build strong emotional connection and repair experiences of disconnection, injury or betrayal. Using approaches from Internal Family Systems, we will explore past experiences that influence our behaviour and perception in relationships. I aim to support both individuals in developing a greater understanding of themselves and their patterns of behaviour in relationships as well as of their partner’s inner world.

 

I bring an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed and strengths-based perspective to my work. I am a queer-identified person and I’m open to working with queer couples, as well as those in monogamous or polyamorous relationships. I have children and I enjoy working with people who want to explore some of the challenges and joys of parenting in a therapeutic setting.

Husainat Bakare, BIPOC, black, Muslim and Yoruba Speaking couples therapist smiling at the camera

Hi, I'm Husainat!

With a therapeutic presence of attentiveness, respect, non-judgment, and compassion, I provide couples with a safe space to explore their relationship challenges. I use an anti-oppressive, intersectional, and culturally sensitive lens that recognizes and supports each client’s unique cultural identity and context.

In my work as a couple’s therapist, I work with couples to develop a relationship that thrives with secure emotional bonds, effective and respectful communication, and healthy conflict resolution. To achieve this, I primarily use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) which concentrates on the role of emotions and emotional communication in the ways we interact.

We will work on improving the compassion and acceptance that you and your partner (s) show each other to help all parties become more understanding of and responsive to each other’s needs. The goal is always for your relationship to become a haven for vulnerability, growth, and a safe and trusting emotional connection.

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Hi, I'm Danielle!

Our ability to communicate and feel connected to those we love and share our lives with may sometimes be impacted by various challenges. Using an emotionally focused approach, I help couples identify old patterns of interacting that are no longer working and guide them to find new ways of communicating and strengthening their emotional bond.

Together, we will use Emotion-Focused Therapy techniques to explore the negative cycles existing in your relationship, past experiences, trauma, attachment styles, needs, and fears. The goal is to enhance bonding and attachment within your relationship.

Hi, I'm Ariette!

I offer couples therapy using my training in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) which can be incredibly beneficial for couples by helping them identify, express, and regulate their emotions in a way that fosters understanding and connection. Couples therapy encourages partners to be vulnerable and empathic, allowing them to break down barriers and create a deeper emotional bond, improving communication and resolving conflicts. 

​

Upon request, I utilize my Master of Divinity degree to offer credentialed Christian pre-marital and post-marital counselling. I can offer a faith-based framework that emphasizes biblical principles like love, forgiveness, and commitment, and help facilitate conversations around finances or family planning. I can provide Christian couples with tools to navigate challenges grounded in their values. Together, couples therapy can strengthen relational dynamics and respect, equipping Christian partners with the emotional and spiritual resources to build a lasting, healthy marriage.
