    Congratulations! You have taken the courageous step towards making meaningful change in your relationship.

    Before making it to this page, you had to admit that things in your relationship weren’t going the way that you would like them to. This can be a scary realization and many couples report feeling ashamed or embarrassed that they hit this point.

    At New Moon Psychotherapy we believe that couples therapy has a place in every relationship. Just like no human can make it their entire life without ever getting help for the things that come up, no couple should be expected to navigate all of life’s challenges without a little guidance – especially these days!

    We don’t see couples therapy as a weakness, we see it as a courageous step to improve the quality of your life and partnership.

    You can breathe a sigh of relief now – you are not alone in this. New Moon Psychotherapy has therapists who specialize in supporting couples through the same difficulties that you are currently experiencing. We have various strategies that we can use to help you and your partner reconnect, find joy, and begin creating the change that you desire.

    The sooner you reach out for help, the sooner you can start creating that change.

    We draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities

    We understand that every relationship is as unique as the individuals that form it. For this reason, therapy always begins with an assessment to understand your strengths, challenges, and goals. The therapist then uses this information to create a treatment plan which is tailored to your specific needs.

    The treatment plan will consist of one or more evidence-based couples therapies including:

    Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy

    Cognitive-Behavioral Conjoint Therapy for couples affected by trauma

    Gottman Couples Therapy (Levels 1 & 2)

    Structural Couples & Family Therapy

    Mediation-Narrative Family Therapy

    The therapist may also use strategies from evidence-based therapies including:

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

    Mindfulness Based Therapy

    Response-Based Trauma Therapy

    Solution Focused Therapy

    Don’t worry – you will not have to pick which is the right fit for you. After the assessment the therapist will make recommendations for treatment and explain why they think this would be the most suitable approach.
