Relationship Therapy in Toronto
Relationships are an enormous part of our lives and inevitably form and influence who we are. Although when we think of relationships, we may think of partners or spouses, our relationships with our families and friends are also formative and important.
Sometimes, issues arise in our relationships and we don’t always have the right tools to address them. That is where relationship therapy comes in. Some signs you may need relationship therapy are:
- You frequently miscommunicate
- You leave most problems unresolved
- You fight with your partner or loved one often
- You feel frequently invalidated in your relationship
- You feel a lot of passive aggression in your relationship
- You seem to always argue about the same thing without resolution
- You or your loved one constantly try to push your feelings under the rug
If these situations sound familiar, it might be time to talk to someone. You can learn more about finding a couples counsellor here.

How does Relationship Therapy at KMA work?
Psychotherapy and Counselling here at KMA Therapy begins with a 50-minute consultation with one of our intake counsellors.
During these 50 minutes, we will ask important questions to determine the nature of the problem and the treatment approach needed.
We also ask questions to get a better sense of your personalities. Here at KMA, we believe it’s important that your therapist is the ‘right fit’. The consultation is also a wonderful time to address any questions you may have.
At the end of the consultation we will provide you with a customised ‘plan of action' that includes:
- The recommended relationship therapist who is best equipped to suit your needs
- The expected duration of therapy (if applicable)
- A recommendation for any additional testing or psychological services we feel would be helpful
The fee for consultations is $190. It is usually covered by the workplace benefits package.
