Couple / Family Therapy
Couple and family therapy in West Vancouver — EFT-informed, depth-oriented. Premarital, repair, separation, intergenerational. English & Farsi.

Most of the suffering in long relationships isn't about communication skills. It's about the deeper attachment-level conversation that hasn't been able to happen safely.
Couple and family therapy at Baraka combines Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) — Elham trained directly with Dr. Leslie Greenberg's team in Canada, the originating EFT lineage — with Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy, depth-oriented work, and cultural fluency for our bilingual and bicultural clients.
We see couples and families navigating:
- Communication breakdown and recurring fights that don't resolve
- Affair recovery and rebuilding trust
- Premarital preparation
- Parent-adult child reconnection
- Blended-family integration
- Cross-cultural and bicultural relationships, including mixed-Iranian families
- Major life transitions — new baby, illness, retirement, immigration co-stress
- Discernment work for couples uncertain about staying together
Sessions are 90 minutes at $180 — long enough to actually do the work, not just check in. Most couples need 12–24 sessions for meaningful and lasting change.
In person at our Ambleside office or by secure video across BC, in English and Farsi — including bilingual sessions where one partner is more comfortable in each language.
