Dating & Relationship Advice

Our Guelph & Brampton therapists can help you find the love you deserve.

Do you struggle with patterns that prevent you from finding the loving partnership you’ve been dreaming of?

Is it difficult to meet the right people? Do you find yourself settling for less than you deserve? Does dating seem too difficult, too scary, to contemplate at all? If you’d like to enjoy a full, rich love life, our therapists can help.

Our experienced therapists will teach you the skills you need to date successfully, as well as how to communicate effectively with a partner once you’ve found one.

Dating Anxiety?

Modern dating is tough. Putting yourself out there means facing your own fear of rejection, facing any fears you might have about commitment, and facing fears about rejecting and disappointing other people.

Even asking can be fraught – and the anxiety doesn’t necessarily go away after the date ends, especially if you’ve had bad experiences in the past.

Our therapists give you a safe place to address these anxieties while teaching you the skills you need to overcome them. We can suggest new dating avenues to explore.

With our help, you can feel safe and confident while navigating the dating landscape.

Overcoming Limerance

Do you find yourself constantly attracted to people who are emotionally or physically unavailable?

Unrequited love can happen to anyone, but a pattern of unrequited attachments can indicate you suffer from a trauma pattern called limerance.

Limerance can keep you from finding a healthy, loving relationship with a partner who is excited to be with you! Our therapists can help you understand the underlying causes of your limerance while offering strategies to overcome and change these issues.

No more awkward, painful confessions that wreck friendships. No more crying over someone who doesn’t even know you’re alive. No more bending over backwards for people who are happy to take advantage of your attention and desire to please them but who never intend to bring you into their lives.

Relief is a phone call away.

Addressing Attachment Problems

Do you struggle to forge healthy, lasting relationships?

Do you find it easy to date but hard to commit? Do you struggle with communication, insecurity, or the desire to push your partner away?

Often, negative childhood experiences can form attachment issues which continue to threaten our relationships well into our adult lives. Our therapists can help you recognize the emotional triggers and responses which cause you to lash out, pull away, or act destructively, and can provide ongoing skills training to help you choose new, healthier actions in the future.

Learn how to trust yourself and your partner. Learn how to get your needs met without causing fights. Heal yourself and your relationships so you can enjoy the healthy life you deserve. Our therapists are ready to help.

Navigating Ongoing Relationship Problems

Struggling within your current partnership?

Even the healthiest relationships can sometimes benefit from a compassionate outside perspective to help sort through thorny issues. In addition, our therapists can help you grow and improve your communication skills so that it’s easier to navigate problems as they arise.

You deserve a healthy, long-term relationship with little strife and lots of joy. We help both individuals and couples who want to be the best partners they can possibly be.
