Marriage Counselling for Toronto Couples
Lately most of your conversations end in an argument, or don't happen at all, and you both know it isn't how you want things to be. I'm Sherriden Brown, a Registered Psychotherapist and certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, and I see Toronto couples online from home or at my office in Port Credit, just west of the city.
When You've Stopped Feeling Like a Team
Couples in Toronto often tell me the relationship gets whatever is left at the end of the week. Long commutes, late work nights and not much space at home mean that by the time you're both home, it's easier to stay quiet than to talk.
- You argue about the same few things, and nothing ever gets settled.
- One of you feels criticized a lot of the time, and the other feels ignored.
- You spend most evenings in separate rooms, or on separate screens in the same one.
- You're thinking about a big step, like moving, getting married or having a baby, and the tension is getting harder to set aside.
Most couples I see want the same thing underneath it all, which is to feel that the other person is on their side again.
Most Toronto couples meet with me online, so nobody has to cross the city on a weeknight. If you'd like to come in, my office in Port Credit is about 30 minutes from Union on the Lakeshore West GO line.
YOUR THERAPIST
Meet Sherriden Brown
I started training in Emotionally Focused Therapy in 2020 and became certified in it in 2026. People sometimes expect a couples therapist to act like a referee. I work on the pattern the two of you keep landing in, because that's usually what's hurting you both, and it can change.
More about my training and background is on my About page.
ONLINE SESSIONS
Couples Counselling Online From Toronto
Getting across the city on a weeknight can take longer than the session itself, so most Toronto couples meet with me by video.
- Book the free 15-minute call and tell me a bit about what's going on.
- Before each session you'll get a private video link by email.
- Join together from one quiet room at home, on a laptop or a phone.
If you'd ever like to meet in person, my office is at 92 Lakeshore Road East in Port Credit.
WHERE TO START
A Little More Reading, If You Want It
Some couples like to read a bit before they reach out. These are the pages people from Toronto ask me about most.
If you're married and stuck in the same argument, start with my marriage counselling page.
If you're a same-sex or queer couple, my LGBTQ+ couples therapy page explains how I work with you.
I also wrote a post about doing couples therapy online from the GTA, and Emotionally Focused Therapy has its own page if you're curious about the approach.

FAQs
Questions About Counselling for Toronto Couples
A few things Toronto couples often ask me before reaching out.
Where can I find free or low-cost marriage counselling in Toronto?
Community agencies such as Family Service Toronto offer counselling, and calling 211 is a quick way to ask about other lower-cost options near you. Fees and wait times vary, so ask about both. My own fee and insurance details are in the cards above.
How do I check that a couples therapist is certified in EFT?
ICEEFT, the international body that certifies EFT therapists, keeps a public directory of certified therapists and supervisors. Training on its own doesn't get a therapist listed as certified.
Is Port Credit far from Etobicoke?
Long Branch GO, in Etobicoke, is the last stop before Port Credit on the Lakeshore West line, and Mimico GO is one stop before that. Door to door it's shorter than most trips into the core.
