Awards and Recognitions

It’s all about you

Is your relationship feeling the strain of Sarnia’s unique dynamics? From chemical valley pressures to border town challenges, Sarnia couples face distinct pressures that can create disconnection whether you live downtown, in Bright’s Grove, or Corunna.

At Couples Counselling Centre, we understand how Sarnia’s industrial foundation, international border, and smaller community dynamics affect intimate relationships. Our specialized approach addresses the specific needs of couples in this resilient city at the mouth of Lake Huron.

Don’t let Sarnia’s industrial focus mask your relationship needs. Our evidence-based therapy helps couples create a secure, loving bond that can withstand both personal and community challenges.

We Are here to help

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 !
