Couples Therapy

Reignite the connection you once had.

Communicate with care, fight less, and feel happy together again.

"We need some guidance on how to get back to a happier place together, to be a team again."

Relationships can be so hard. You may be arguing often, feeling unappreciated and unheard. Your attempts to connect are turned against or you're unsure how to rebuild trust after a betrayal. You may be struggling to find your way as a couple again after having a baby - battling competing needs, the mental load, and having limited time to spend together. Trust, intimacy, and passion may be dwindling, leaving you feeling disconnected.

Build a stronger relationship with the Gottman Method

Feeling connected, heard and confident in resolving conflict is possible.

What is the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy?

The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy that helps partners strengthen their connection, communicate more effectively, and resolve conflict in healthy ways.

It’s grounded in decades of research on what makes relationships thrive, focusing on friendship, trust, and emotional intimacy. Through this approach, couples learn to understand each other’s needs, break negative patterns, and build habits that create a stronger, happier partnership.

The goal isn’t just to “stop fighting” - it’s to deepen your bond, feel heard and understood, and enjoy being together again.

Frequently Asked Questions about Couples Counselling

How is couples therapy conducted?

We offer both in-person counselling in Calgary and online throughout Alberta. If you choose online therapy as an option, it will be via a secure and encrypted platform called Jane. You will receive a link to the session 30 minutes prior to your appointment time.

How much does couples therapy cost in Calgary?

It depends on the credentials of the therapist. Tri Lotus Psychotherapy offers couples therapy between $220 and $235, depending on the therapist.

Do you offer sessions longer than 50 minutes?

Yes, Tri Lotus Psychotherapy also offers 75 minute session options if 50 minutes seems like too little time!

Can couples counselling fix a relationship?

It depends! Couples counselling can help you to discover the root causes of your relationship issues, heal them, and provide ongoing tools to strengthen your relationship. If both partners are committed to working on these factors, then couples therapy can be effective in healing the relationship. The alternative would be to let the relationship concerns continue to fester, which isn't recommended!
