Why Seek Couples or Family Therapy

Therapy isn’t only for moments of crisis; it’s a proactive way to nurture love, trust, and connection. Whether you’re navigating conflict, cultural differences, or life transitions, therapy helps couples and families strengthen communication, resilience, and emotional safety.

You may benefit from therapy if you’re:

Feeling disconnected or unheard in your relationships.
Experiencing frequent conflict or communication barriers.
Struggling with parenting or blended family challenges.
Coping with cultural or intergenerational differences.
Dealing with significant family life transitions, such as empty nesting or retirement.
Coping with grief and loss that impacts the couple or family dynamic.
Exploring and supporting gender identity and sexual orientation exploration within a family member.

Who We Help

We offer specialized counseling that meets you and your loved ones where you are helping you build stronger, more connected relationships.

We help couples navigate conflict, intimacy challenges, and transitions with empathy and proven strategies.

Intimate Partner Violence Support

Child & Adolescent Therapy

Our therapy focuses on communication, emotional regulation, and family collaboration to help families resolve behavioral challenges.

Culturally-Informed, Evidence-Based Care

Healthy relationships are built on understanding and safety. Our therapists blend evidence-based techniques with cultural humility, helping couples and families communicate, reconnect, and thrive no matter their story.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

EFT helps individuals and couples understand emotional patterns, express core needs, and strengthen secure, connected relationships.

The Gottman Method

The Gottman Method is a research-informed approach to couples therapy that uses comprehensive assessment and targeted interventions to strengthen emotional connection, improve communication, manage conflict, and support long-term relational resilience. It integrates behavioural, emotional, and systems-based strategies to help couples move from patterns of distress toward trust, commitment, and shared meaning.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS proposes that psychological distress arises when protective or wounded parts of the personality take on extreme roles in response to trauma or attachment injury. Therapy focuses on helping clients access the Self—a core state characterized by calm, curiosity, compassion, and clarity—to build trusting relationships with these parts and support their healing.

We Honor & Embrace You.

Wholetherapy honors the diversity of every family and relationship. We recognize how race, heritage, faith, sexual orientation, gender identity, and migration experiences shape perception and experiences. Our therapists support all types of relationships and family structures, including:

Married, dating, and long-term partners.
Parents, caregivers, and co-parents.
Blended, multicultural, and multigenerational families.
LGBTQIA+ couples and parents.
Immigrant and newcomer families.
