Is your relationship feeling the strain of Cornwall’s unique dynamics? From border town pressures to economic transitions, Cornwall couples face distinct challenges that can create disconnection whether you live in the east end, Riverdale, or downtown.

Don’t let Cornwall’s economic transitions impact your relationship’s stability. Our evidence-based therapy helps couples create a secure, loving bond that can withstand both personal and community challenges.

Meet MaryAnn Dawood

I always knew that “The bond between the couple is the heartbeat of the home”. The heartbeat is the life force. When the couples relationship is characterized by a lot of conflict and fighting, it resonates in the home. I knew that when you help a couple, you help them as individuals and you help their home! There is no greater pursuit in my eyes !
