Not just for married couples
Inclusive, tailored to all couples
While the terms "couples therapy" and "marriage therapy" are often used interchangeably, our services are inclusive and tailored to all couples. We provide a safe and welcoming environment for couples of all backgrounds, orientations, and family dynamics — whether you're dating, engaged, married, or in a long-term partnership.
Our approach to couples therapy
Our approach is compassionate, empathetic, and collaborative. We understand that every relationship is unique, and our therapists work closely with you and your partner to identify underlying issues, develop effective strategies for communication and conflict resolution, and create a personalized treatment plan.

Danielle Kranabetter
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Using an emotionally focused approach, I help couples identify old patterns of interacting that are no longer working and guide them to find new ways of communicating and strengthening their emotional bond. Together, we explore the negative cycles in your relationship, past experiences, trauma, attachment styles, needs, and fears — with the goal of enhancing bonding and attachment within your relationship.
Land Acknowledgement
Blissful Balance Counselling acknowledges that Ottawa is situated on the unceded territory of the Anishinabe Algonquin Nation, whose peoples have lived on and cared for these lands for millennia. We honour their enduring presence, knowledge, cultures, and contributions, and extend our respect to all First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, past and present.
​
As a counselling practice committed to anti-oppressive and inclusive care, we recognize that reconciliation requires ongoing reflection, learning, and meaningful action. We strive to create a therapeutic space grounded in respect, humility, and cultural awareness, while acknowledging the ongoing impacts of colonialism on Indigenous communities and the importance of listening to and learning from Indigenous voices.
