Relationship Clinic offers virtual relationship therapy to clients in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, as well as in-person appointments in Thornhill. Fees, therapist availability, appointment format, and therapist matching are discussed during your complimentary consultation.

Receipts are provided for eligible services and can be submitted for reimbursement when applicable.
Many couples avoid conversations about sex and intimacy because they quickly become painful, embarrassing, or pressurized. Therapy provides a confidential and respectful environment where couples can name concerns without reducing the issue to blame or performance.
Intimacy concerns often involve both emotional and physical closeness. Sessions may address desire differences, avoidance, shame, affection, postpartum changes, unresolved conflict, or fear of rejection. The work stays within the therapist scope and does not imply medical treatment for sexual dysfunction.
Sex and intimacy concerns should be matched with a therapist whose training and competence fit the issue. When a medical or specialized sexual health concern appears to be outside scope, clients may be encouraged to consult an appropriate healthcare provider.
