Couples & Relationships
In-person sessions in Midland; virtual anywhere in Ontario.
You’re tired of the tension—misunderstandings, misfires, walking on eggshells.
Maybe it’s your partner, your parent, your teenager, your boss, or your sister-in-law who somehow turned a group text into a battlefield.
You try to talk it out, but it always goes sideways—someone shuts down, someone blows up, or someone ghost-texts for three days.
You feel unheard, unappreciated, or completely misunderstood.
And beneath the frustration, there’s usually something softer: a longing to feel close again, respected, or simply not like the problem.
This kind of therapy helps you get to the why behind the reactions.
You’ll learn to recognize your own emotional patterns (hello people-pleasing, passive-aggression, or conflict-avoidance) and understand how they play out in the dynamic.
You’ll get tools to navigate tough conversations—whether it’s asking for what you need, setting a boundary, or de-escalating a spiraling fight.
You’ll start responding instead of reacting, and feel more in control of how you show up.
It might not fix every relationship, but you’ll feel stronger, clearer, and more connected to yourself.
Why choose Radiant Roots?
We specialize in relational work that goes beyond surface-level advice.
We won’t just say “use ‘I’ statements” and send you on your way.
We get into attachment needs, nervous system responses, and all the unspoken stuff underneath the tension.
We hold space without judgment, reflect what you might not see, and give you real tools to shift the dynamic.
Who this type of therapy is for:
→ You and your partner keep misfiring emotionally—fights, distance, shutdowns
→ Your family communication feels like a landmine field
→ You struggle with boundaries (especially with guilt or people-pleasing)
→ You leave interactions thinking, “Why do I always feel like this around them?”
→ You’re always the “fixer” in the group chat or the one cleaning up emotional messes
→ You want less tension and more honest, healthy connection—in any relationship
