Couples Counselling Toronto

My husband and I are writing this together after being asked for feedback! Damian was the first marriage counselor we tried due to his great reviews, and we're really glad that we did. He taught us valuable and practical principles that we can apply both in our own relationships and in interactions with others.For the first many sessions in therapy, Damian's method revolves around going over the results of an assessment you are asked to take before beginning therapy, and that provides a nice springboard for conversation/highlights possible areas of discord. Along side that, he has a few supporting documents he provides and a list of very actionable activities to do together, chief amongst those a checklist of relationship principles we have to memorize and use as a couple. The daily memorization of the checklist is really central to his approach to therapy. After the assessment results are complete, the sessions become more freeform.I was called the wrong name a few times and he tends to forget what has been brought up in sessions prior, but he's always apologetic and constructive afterwards.Overall we felt his sessions were well structured and helpful. We're doing much better now and we're really grateful. Thanks Damian!

We wanted someone who would be able to connect with us and help us become better together, and Damian exceeded all expectations. His methods are intuitive and simple, and helped us grow together. He has shown us where our priorities should be, and helped us with communicating effectively with each other. I'd highly recommend Damian to anyone who wants to learn more together as a couple, and to be more in tune with each other.

Damian has been a huge help in successfully navigating our relationship. Before meeting for our first session we completed a comprehensive assessment to determine points of contention between us. He helped guide us through difficult obstacles when working through the plan and was more than willing to tackle any issues that became problematic as they came up. He provided us with the tools and foundation we need to work through our challenges together and to communicate more effectively. We are very grateful for his knowledge, expertise and guidance. We highly recommend Damian and his approach. It may seem unconventional at first but once understood it is incredibly effective!

Highly recommend Damian as a couples therapist. Damian is truly a standout when it comes to couples counselling. He sets you up for success in your first meeting and provides you with all the tools to navigate your relationship. He listens with empathy towards both partners and has made such an impact in our relationship. We look forward to each session with Damian!

Damian has a highly intelligent and detailed approach to understanding couples. I've been thoroughly impressed by his methodology as he's been able to quickly understand individuals in a couple and how they can positively learn and grow together. He's a caring and thoughtful professional who I highly recommend!

Damian is a fantastic therapist and his structured approach to the process allowed us to buy in and gave us tangible things to work on to improve our relationship. Would recommend him 10 times out of 10.

Damian has been a huge help for us. Before we started, we completed a thorough assessment that covered a wide variety of topics, so by our first session, he already knew which aspects of our relationship needed the most work. We followed his structured plan, have made huge strides, and now we're in a better place than we'd ever been before.Damian has helped set us up for a lifetime of success. He's given us the tools we need to continue building a healthy and functional relationship, while also helping us understand that no one and no relationship will ever be perfect. What he teaches is applicable beyond romantic relationships too- even my boss has noticed and commented on my new active listening skills.We highly recommend Damian!

What can I say about Damian. We tried someone in the past and we didn’t feel confident with them.With Damian, there was a plan, a structure, and he was confident he could get us back on track in 6 weeks. Bringing a ton of life experience and clinical experience to the table was very important.For our marriage, It’s really nice to feel like we are on the same page again, and that we are building our friendship again.Thank you DamianSteve

Damian's approach to couples counselling is like none other. We had tried counselling in the past and were hesitant to try again. Damian starts with a comprehensive analysis of the relationship which is completed by each person independently before the first session. Instead of spending the first several sessions getting all of the problems out, Damian already knew our problem areas and where he could help us from Day 1.Damian has a very structured plan and approach. We were hesitant at first because it was so different from what we had experienced before. All I can say is, lean in, trust the process (and follow it, there is a method to the madness), and spend a lot of time reflecting.Damian helped us through many rough patches and on multiple occasions made himself available to help us through a crisis.Although we will continue to work on it, our relationship has never been better, we better understand each other, communicate better and are resolving conflicts better than ever before. We highly recommend Damian.

Damian has played a monumental in my relationship with my partner. His style is unlike any other therapist I’ve spoken with in the past, and I have talked to quite a few. The key differentiator of Damian's methods is that he employs structure and frameworks to the process of introspection and execution. Before even meeting him, he has both partners complete an assessment that allows him to get an overview of the relationship and compatibility. This was extremely beneficial entering our first session, as he already knew exactly where the problem areas were, without either of us having to tell him.Every session we’ve had with Damian has been very productive with actionable takeaways. Rather than going around in never-ending circles talking about feelings and the past, he provides a very practical methods to manage difficult emotions and situations. These methods have dramatically changed the course of me and my partner’s relationship.
