The Story

Hi, I’m Jeff. I started Couples Therapy Ottawa because I saw a need for my city to have a psychotherapy practice dedicated entirely to couples therapy, led by therapists who specialize in attachment work.

Too often, clients enter therapy with a professional who primarily does individual therapy and simply applies their individual therapy skills to relationships. I wanted to build something different: a team with formal training in couples therapy as a part of their graduate and post-graduate clinical training. A group of relationship nerds that live and breathe attachment theory, stay up-to-date with current research, and continuously hone our clinical skills together.

We meet every month to discuss new books, our clinical challenges, and the nuances of attachment and intimacy. We love the messy, complicated, and beautiful parts of relationships—and we love helping couples navigate them safely.

Thanks for allowing us into such an important part of your life. We’re grateful you’re here.
