Couples Therapy in Calgary
At NU Psychology, we understand the importance of a connected relationship between partners. Through supportive therapy, our goal is to identify unhelpful patterns that may arise due to feelings of mistrust and lack of communication between couples.
Once these issues are brought forward, we support couples to build healthy communication patterns, set healthy boundaries, and build through mutual respect and understanding of each others needs.
