Registered psychologist

In T2T 2Z2 - Nearby to Okotoks.

I help couples by focusing on two goals: (1) Communicating constructively about issues; (2) Having a strong relationship friendship. I help couples achieve these goals by giving them skills from Gottman's Sound Relationship House Model and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I am trained in Gottman's model and am certified in CBT.

Claire Simpson, MA, CCC

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Canadian Certified Counsellor

Available for Online Therapy

In couples therapy, I draw from both Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners reconnect, understand each other, and build hope for the future. I create a space where partners can express their needs, emotions, and vulnerabilities in a way that deepens their emotional connection. Together, we work on strengthening their bond by identifying negative cycles and helping them respond to each other’s emotional needs with compassion and understanding. By combining these approaches, I help couples build trust, improve communication, and develop a more secure, loving connection that fosters lasting hope and growth.

Philip Starkman, MSW, RSW

Registered Psychotherapist

Available for Online Therapy

Loving, successful relationships need to be carefully and skillfully nurtured in the following five areas: Emotional, Intellectual, Spiritual, Sexual, Financial. Couples who are ready to do ongoing work on their relationships are richly rewarded with a loving, meaningful and joyful life together. Committed relationships that have the possibility of morphing into long term relationships benefit greatly by being guided by the Gottman research on relationships as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Premarital Counselling prepares a couple for a new stage in their relationship by identifying potential areas of conflict and strength and developing tools to create a strong foundation.

Coach/Change Agent/Consultant

At Home or Private Discreet Intensives

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings? Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com to learn how! Or call 877-606-6161. DR. FLEMING'S NEW RELATIONSHIP/COUPLES INTENSIVES. www.kevinflemingphd.com/marriage-couples-retreats.php

In T2T 0A1 - Nearby to Okotoks.

In a relationship, each member is responsible for an equal share of the dynamic. In a family, that means it splits between the amount of people, and in a couple it’s 50% created by each partner. This 50% is the result of the individual’s needs- both functional and dysfunctional. Functional needs relate to biological drives, culture, relationship goals, values, etc. Dysfunctional needs come from limiting beliefs, which are internalized in our childhood. They create needs like: the need to be in control, or the need to protect oneself. The needs, whether functional or dysfunctional, can balance each other out, creating a “stabilizer” or they can become unmet needs.

Registered Psychologist

In T2R 1E8 - Nearby to Okotoks.

Most people want communication skills. Granted, those are needed but improving a relationship, increasing connection and intimacy, and navigating difficult conversations around areas of differing opinions involves yourself - you are your most valuable ally in any relationship. Understanding yourself, your beliefs, reactions and having ways to 'show up differently' in the relationship are your best bet to feeling better about your relationship, no matter what aspect you want to work on. Through my therapy techniques, I invite you to understand yourself in relationship as well as learn more effective ways to know and be known, the incredibly courageous work of intimacy.

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, Anu can help.

Creating stronger relationships through the research- based Gottman approach.

Tobias Mwandala, PhD, RSW

Registered Social Worker/Consultant

In T2P 3N3 - Nearby to Okotoks.

I perceive a couple as a group that is formed by practices/language that are used. In this context, I view a problem as ‘couple’s problem’ that is situated in the relationships/language between partners. Therefore, helping couples to address their problem(s)--I focus on addressing the language and relationship patterns that the couple has developed overtime. I use narrative and solution-focused therapy that is brief and effective. I discuss individual’s and couple’s needs, as well as relationship needs. I encourage my clients to effectively communicate their needs in a peaceable, positive and productive manner between one another.

Jarret Verwimp, CCC

Canadian Certified Counsellor

In T3E 6L1 - Nearby to Okotoks.

I love working with couples. Whether you're busy professionals trying to find balance, or a couple who is struggling to keep a marriage from failing, enhancing communication and reconnecting are essential. Couples often get stuck in negative spirals, so confronting resentment, accepting responsibility, and committing to a better future are essential for couples to change course. At the same time, some couples aren't even certain it's worth it anymore, and discernment therapy, where appropriate can also be very useful. No matter where you are at in your relationship, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.

Registered Psychologist

In T2G 0T7 - Nearby to Okotoks.

Most relationships and marriages begin wonderfully! Unfortunately, many gradually decline. It does not have to be this way--there are methods and tools which can be learned and used which can help couples develop stronger friendships, resolve conflicts through understanding each partners dreams beneath the conflict, and eventually, develop meaningful and mutually authentic shared meaning. I use the Gottman Method for couples therapy which is evidence-based.

Relationships are both difficult and rewarding. Like most things of value, however, these intimate connections require intentional work in order to remain healthy and rewarding.
