Couples & Relational Therapy Ottawa

When you know the pattern, but still find yourselves in it.

Relationships bring parts of us into view that can be difficult to see on our own. I work with couples and individuals who want to understand what shapes the way they relate, what keeps repeating, and what they may want to do differently.

A Little about me

The person behind the practice

I’m Marie-Pierre Castonguay, MSW, RSW, SEP, a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist. Most clients simply call me Marie.
 

I’m naturally curious about people and relationships. I value warmth, honesty and humour, and I bring those parts of myself into my work. I care deeply about understanding people while also being willing to ask the questions that invite us to look at things from new perspective.

​

Sometimes the work is understanding. Sometimes it's doing something differently. And sometimes it's making more room for what is already there.
