FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
How do I know we need Couples Therapy?
If you find yourselves stuck in the same arguments, feeling distant, struggling to communicate, or facing trust issues, couples therapy can help you understand what’s going wrong and guide you toward rebuilding a stronger connection.
How do I choose the right couples therapist?
Choosing the right couples therapist means finding someone with specialized training, experience in evidence-based approaches, and a style that makes both partners feel safe, heard, and respected throughout the process.
Are sessions virtual or in-person?
Our sessions can be either depending on the therapist. It is best to check with the therapist of your choice, or reach out to us and ask – we’re happy to help!
What does couples therapy look like?
Couples therapy typically involves regular sessions where you and your partner talk openly with a trained therapist who guides conversations, teaches communication skills, and helps you work through challenges together in a supportive, judgment-free space.
How will we know if couples therapy works for us?
You’ll start to notice improvements in how you communicate, handle conflicts, and connect emotionally—plus, your therapist will help track your progress and adjust the approach to ensure therapy is meeting your relationship goals.
Could couples therapy make anything worse?
It’s natural to worry about that. Couples therapy can sometimes feel challenging as it brings up difficult feelings, but a skilled therapist creates a safe space to work through these issues constructively—when done well, therapy helps you grow stronger, not worse.
What if I'm on-board but my partner isn't yet?
Can you convince my partner for me?
We get that wanting your partner on board feels important! While we can’t talk directly to them, we can help you craft a thoughtful message or conversation starter that shows why couples therapy matters to you.
Will my insurance cover any costs?
What is the difference between a Psychiatrist, Psychologist, Psychotherapist, Clinical Counsellor, Social Worker?
It’s confusing isn’t it? Let’s bring some clarity here.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MD’s) with a focus on mental health. They can formally diagnose and prescribe medications.
Psychologists are “doctors of psychology” but are not medical doctors. They have a PhD. They are allowed to diagnose mental health conditions, conduct psychological assessments, but cannot prescribe medications.
Psychotherapists and Clinical Counsellors are interchangeable designations where each province will have certain protected rights to use a particular designation. For example, in British Columbia, we are called either Registered Clinical Counsellors or Certified Clinical Counsellors; in Ontario the term used is Registered Psychotherapist. Counsellors/Psychotherapists (whichever term is used) generally have a MA level degree, are able to conduct psychological /counselling services but are not able to formally diagnose, assess, or prescribe medication.
Social Workers are able to conduct counselling sessions and are governed by the College of Social Workers. They may also belong to other professional associations and conduct therapy/counselling/psychotherapy within those guidelines.
Social workers most often have a MA level degree, and like Clinical Counsellors/Psychotherapists, cannot formally diagnose, assess, or prescribe medication.
Hope that helps!
