Couples Therapy Sherwood Park

Relationships are never simple, but they don’t have to stay stuck. At Psychology in the Park, we support couples who want to rebuild trust, improve communication, or simply feel more connected again.

Grow Through Conflict, Not Around It

Every relationship comes with its challenges, such as communication breakdowns, unmet needs, repeated arguments, or emotional disconnection. 

Couples therapy gives you and your partner a chance to understand each other better, talk through the hard stuff, and build a foundation that’s more supportive and respectful. 

It’s not about blame, it’s about teamwork.

We work with couples who are navigating:

  • Ongoing conflict and tension

  • Trust issues, betrayal, or infidelity

  • Parenting struggles or blended family stress

  • Lack of intimacy or emotional distance

  • Differences in communication or attachment style

  • Major life changes (e.g., moves, career shifts, new children)

  • Co-parenting after separation or divorce

  • Recovery from trauma that affects the relationship

Sessions are structured but flexible, shaped around what matters most to you as a partnership.

We’re proud to support couples across Sherwood Park, Edmonton, and nearby communities.

A Place to Talk Without Taking Sides

When tension builds between partners, even simple conversations can feel like battles. 

Couples therapy offers a space where both voices matter. You don’t have to be perfect communicators. You just have to be willing to try something different together.

You don’t have to defend yourself to be understood. Instead of keeping score or rehashing the same arguments, therapy helps you slow down and listen in a different way. 

With the support of a skilled therapist, you and your partner can start to unpack what’s really going on beneath the surface.

You might be carrying hurt that hasn’t been voiced, stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, or unsure how to reconnect after broken trust. 

Maybe you’re tiptoeing around certain topics. Or you’re stuck in the same arguments that leave you both feeling unheard.

These moments don’t have to mean the end of your relationship; they can be a turning point. 

Our approach focuses on creating safety, rebuilding emotional connection, and helping you both speak and hear each other more clearly. 

It’s not about fixing one person. It’s about finding your way forward together.

Why Choose Us?

    Personalized Client Matching

    Every couple is different—and so is every therapist. We take time to understand what you’re both looking for before pairing you with someone on our team. From there, you can move forward with confidence that your therapist has the experience and relational approach that fits your dynamic.

    Compassionate, Non-Clinical Approach

    You won’t feel like you’re being judged or analyzed in a cold room. Our practice is warm, grounded, and human-centered. We create space for vulnerability, repair, and real progress, without making either partner feel like the problem.

    Diverse and Inclusive Practice

    Love looks different for everyone. We work with all types of relationships, identities, and family structures, and we understand the importance of creating a space where both partners feel safe and respected. Our team brings diverse lived and professional experiences to the table.

  • Trauma-Informed Services

    Sometimes past wounds show up in present dynamics. Our therapists are trained in trauma-informed care, which means we pay close attention to emotional safety, nervous system overwhelm, and the deeper stories that shape how we connect. We move gently and with purpose.

What to Expect From Couples Therapy

Starting couples therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if things have been tense for a while. 

We aim to make the process feel collaborative from the start. 

After a brief intake to get a sense of what’s going on, we’ll match you with a therapist who specializes in relationship work. 

Your first session is a chance to lay the groundwork together, share your goals, and decide on the pace that feels right.

Couples therapy may involve:

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Helps partners reconnect emotionally and strengthen attachment

  • Gottman-Informed Methods: Offers structure for improving communication and resolving conflict

  • Attachment-Based Work: Brings awareness to how early experiences shape relationship patterns

  • Psychoeducation and Skill Building: Equips couples with tools for managing reactivity and staying connected

  • Narrative Therapy: Supports rewriting negative cycles and understanding shared meaning

You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit. Sometimes, the decision to start therapy is the first sign of renewed commitment.

Let’s work on this together. If your relationship is feeling distant, strained, or uncertain, there’s support available, and it starts with one step.
