An assessment phase precedes all couples therapy at The Couples Clinic. This includes a combination of online questionnaires about your relationship and personal history, as well as 120 minutes of interviews (joint and individual meetings) with your couples therapist.
This phase ensures your therapist gathers a proper understanding of your presenting concerns, goals and strengths so they can then develop a tailored treatment program that will most efficiently target core relationship needs.
Your therapist will recommend the most appropriate treatment process following the initial assessment and diagnostic phase of therapy.
The Assessment Phase is a pre-paid component and the fee for the provision of this service is $850

Treatment frequency and duration will depend on the core relationship issues, and the couple’s presenting concerns.
Treatment recommendations vary. Typically, treatment sessions will consist of either, or a mixture of, two-hours consultations, or more intensive therapeutic sessions, including half-day (three hour) and full-day (six hour) immersive consultations.
Treatment sessions are charged at the time of consult. The fees for the provision of treatment sessions is:
Two-hour consultations: $480
Half-day (three hours therapy + 30 min break) immersive consultations: $720
Full-day (six hours therapy + 60 min break) immersive consultations: $1440
Maintenance (one hour) consultations: $275
If treatment is not appropriate or not clinically recommended, your practitioner will assist in providing more appropriate referral options, which may be to an alternate agency.
We provide thorough and evidence-based supervision for practitioners interested in couples therapy. Our supervision support extends to various mental health professionals, including psychologists, counsellors, social workers, and qualified psychotherapists.
With extensive training in Gottman Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, we are well-equipped to assist those seeking to enhance their skills in delivering couples therapy.
Supervision is charged at a fee of $240 per 60 minute consult. If you are a practitioner in the field, this is likely completely tax deductible.
