Therapy for Couples
Specialized Therapy for Couples
Relationships are at the heart of our well-being — and like anything meaningful, they require care and intention. Whether you’re feeling disconnected, navigating ongoing conflict, or simply want to deepen your connection, couples therapy can offer the support and tools you need to move forward, together.
At Mind Shift Therapy and Neurofeedback, we offer both virtual sessions across Ontario and in-person therapy in Barrie to support couples in building stronger, more resilient relationships grounded in trust, empathy, and mutual understanding.
What Makes Our Approach to Couples Therapy Unique
Our therapists draw on advanced training in the Gottman Method, a research-based approach to relationship therapy that blends warmth and structure. With over four decades of studies behind it, this method helps couples understand each other more deeply, repair emotional disconnects, and move toward shared goals.

The Gottman Method
Evidence-based care for real relationships.
This model focuses on strengthening your relationship through key pillars:
-
A solid friendship is the foundation of every thriving partnership. We help couples rebuild emotional closeness and increase the moments of connection that matter the most.
-
Disagreements are normal. What matters is how you move through them. You’ll learn how to communicate your needs respectfully and understand your partner’s perspective — even in the heat of the moment.
-
Intimacy is more than physical — it’s about safety, trust, and vulnerability. We support you in reconnecting emotionally and keeping the spark alive.
-
Discovering shared values, rituals, and long-term goals helps bring alignment and purpose to your relationship journey.
-
We teach couples how to shift from defensiveness and criticism to appreciation and connection- even when things feel tough.
