Couples
At PRISMA, we bring clarity to a universal concept and celebrate that love is felt and expressed in unique ways. After all, love is what you make it - every step of the way.
Whether you have been together for years or just met, we have the right service for you.
Couple Psychotherapy
The PRISMA Couple Therapy framework involves:
Initial telephone intake with involved partners
Primary assessment (2-3 sessions) - deepening understanding and collaborative goal setting
Flexible approach – treatment is tailored to you and adjusted if your needs change
Maintenance - we’re always here if you need us. You are welcome to return for the Booster Program
Custom couple master plan - key takeaways to keep your relationship on track after the treatment ends
Prevention Program
Therapy doesn’t have to start with finding a solution to a problem.
At PRISMA, we’re focused on being proactive.
Thinking about long-term commitment? Looking for pre-marital counselling? Want to establish a solid framework to guide you as you move through the stages of your relationship and life transitions?
When it comes to couple therapy, PRISMA believes that prevention is key.
Don’t wait until it’s too late and maladaptive patterns are in place. Instead, lay down the foundation for a healthy relationship and develop a shared vision.
The best part? Walk away with a roadmap for your relationship, starting from where it is through to where you both want it to go.
Booster Program
You’ll always have a life partner in your therapist at PRISMA.
We’re committed to fostering a lasting relationship, so we offer a check-in for all couples who have previously attended couple or premarital counselling. Think of this as a chance to pop in and get a tune-up!
You may book booster sessions at a frequency that meets your needs.
Finish the program with an updated sense of yourself, your partner and your plan of action.
Our primary evidence-based approach is Emotion-Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT-C). We also integrate the work of Esther Perel and the Gottman method.
We can help you identify and resolve maladaptive relationship patterns, process emotional betrayals, work on infidelity and forgiveness, and restore sexual intimacy. Together we identify issues and strengths in your relationship and work on creating a stronger bond.
We value accountability, science-based practice, quality, and warmth. We see power in vulnerability, appreciate humour and curiosity, preserve a down-to-earth attitude, and celebrate the beauty of inclusion.
