New Start Counselling Services

My husband and I took pre-marriage counselling sessions with Dr. Ottawa Easingwood. The sessions sparked some much needed conversations between my husband and I during and well after our sessions had ended. I am really happy we had the opportunity to go to pre-marriage counselling and am so thankful for all of the hard work, time and energy that went into the sessions even before we had arrived! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Dr. Easingwood and the sessions she had prepared were so well thought out and very informative. I would highly recommend Dr. Easingwood to any couple who is looking for couples counseling, pre-marriage counseling or marriage counselling. Dr. Easingwood goes above and beyond and is extremely knowledgeable. Thank you Dr. Easingwood!

Steer clear of Dr. Ottawa if you are in an abusive relationship. She didn't listen and completely sided with the abuser which left me further abused and validated my ex because she told him he was right"."

Terrible experience with marriage counselling. Minimized experiences and traumatic events and concentrated on topic that were never brought up or identified as issues. Concentrated on the needs of only one partner and dismissed the needs of the other. Please find someone else.

My husband and I took a series of 'marriage enhancement' classes as I'd like to refer to them as. We both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Dr.Ottawa has a calm, even-keeled demeanor which made the two of us very comfortable. There was always an unspoken invitation for open conversation. Her professional advice was practical and easy for us to put in motion. She gave us literature/resources to fall back on years down the road. I feel we walked away with an invaluable experience. I would strongly recommend Dr.Ottawa to my family and close friends so I would recommend her to YOU as well!
