Family Therapy

Understanding family relationships.

Family counselling and psychotherapy in Centretown, Ottawa, in person or online across Ontario.

Work, school and caregiving can make it difficult to find time together. Ask about evening and weekend appointments, and tell us who would attend and which times suit your family. We will discuss current availability and an appropriate fit.

Sometimes there's more beneath the disagreement.

Family relationships can carry love, closeness, frustration, and hurt, sometimes all at once. When conversations become difficult, it isn't always easy to express what's really being felt. Family therapy offers space to look beneath the tension, understand what may be getting in the way, and find more meaningful ways to connect.

When family relationships feel strained.

Even families who care deeply about one another can experience frustration, misunderstanding, and distance. Sometimes difficulties build gradually. Other times, separation, loss, or changes in family life can leave everyone struggling to find their way.

When conversations become difficult.

The same disagreements may keep coming up, or family members may stop talking about things that matter. Therapy offers a place to begin having those conversations differently.

When family life changes.

Growing children, changing responsibilities, separation, or loss can affect how family members relate to one another. We help families navigate these changes with greater understanding and care.

When connection feels difficult.

Sometimes family members want to feel closer but aren't sure how to reach one another. Together, we explore what's getting in the way and what might help rebuild connection.

Families come in many forms, and you don't need to have everything figured out before reaching out. We're happy to talk about your family's needs and how to begin.
