The core of the practice
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
The Gottman Method is the most research-validated approach to couples therapy, drawing on more than four decades of clinical research with thousands of couples. Sessions follow the Gottman assessment, then build a tailored plan around the relationship's strengths and challenges.
The Sound Relationship House
Sessions build the seven floors: love maps, fondness and admiration, turning toward, the positive perspective, conflict management, life dreams, and shared meaning.
Communication and Conflict
Slow down the four horsemen, build repair attempts, learn what perpetual versus solvable conflict actually means, and practice the moves that calm escalation in real time.
Repair after Rupture
Affairs, ruptures, and breaches of trust handled with structured Gottman protocols. The path is hard, but it is mapped and supported.
02
Build the foundation early
Premarital and Early Relationship
Working through the Gottman framework before a wedding or in the first years of a partnership pays compound interest. Short courses of 4 to 8 sessions tailored to the couple's stage.
Gottman 7 Principles Workshop
The classic short course on what makes marriages work, adapted to each couple's specifics. Communication styles, dreams, rituals of connection.
Family of Origin Mapping
Unpack what each partner learned about love and conflict growing up, and where those patterns help or hinder the partnership now.
Shared Meaning and Values
Career, family, faith, money, geography, time. Get clear together on the questions that quietly drive long partnerships.
03
One-on-one support, MSW grounded
Individual Counselling
Individual sessions for adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, grief, and the low-volume struggles that get easier with a regular hour. Sessions are 50 minutes, weekly or biweekly depending on what works.
Anxiety and Stress
Strategies for managing anxiety, work stress, and the layered pressures that build up over time. Practical work alongside the deeper questions.
Life Transitions
New jobs, new cities, new identities, divorce, parenting changes. Transitions are the moments most adults reach out for support and there is no shame in that.
Grief and Loss
Bereavement, end-of-relationship grief, and the slower kinds of grief that follow chronic illness or family estrangement.

Booking, format, receipts
How sessions work
All sessions are booked by phone. The first intake is longer than follow-up sessions so we have time to set the plan. Receipts are issued at every session for submission to extended health benefits where applicable.
Phone booking
Call 226-400-7256 to book. Leave a voicemail if Jennifer is in session and the call is returned between appointments, usually the same business day.
Initial intake
Couples intake is typically 90 minutes and may extend across two visits for the full Gottman assessment. Individual intake is 60 minutes.
Follow-up sessions
Standard sessions run 50 to 75 minutes depending on couples or individual format. Weekly or biweekly cadence works for most clients.
Receipts for benefits
Receipts are issued at the end of each session under the Registered Social Worker designation. Coverage varies by plan, please confirm with your benefits provider.
A note on photos
Interior photos are representative.
Jennifer's practice does not currently have a photo gallery online. The interior shots on this preview are representative of a private counselling office, intended to show the kind of calm, private space the Park Place suite provides. Real photos can be swapped in before the site goes live.
The next step
Phone goes to Jennifer directly.
No receptionist, no online booking platform, no automated menus. Just a real call, returned between sessions.
