Colleen Marcoux, M.A., RCC, CCC, RP (Qualifying), B.A. Registered Clinical Counsellor Canadian Certified Counsellor Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) Couples Therapist EMDR Therapist Relationship & Trauma Therapy

Have you ever felt like you and your partner care deeply about each other, but keep getting stuck in the same arguments, emotional distance, or disconnection that feels hard to break? Or maybe things look “fine” on the outside, but inside the relationship there’s tension, loneliness, or a sense that something important is missing?

I work with individuals and couples, offering therapy that is flexible, grounded, and often allows for deeper emotional openness than people expect from online sessions.

One of the most meaningful parts of my work -and life outside of therapy- is that I also work as a wedding officiant, supporting couples as they make lifelong commitments to one another. That experience has given me a deep appreciation for what brings people together, what strengthens connection, and what can sometimes quietly pull them apart over time.

I support those who are feeling stuck in relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, or painful patterns they cannot seem to break. This may look like recurring conflict and communication breakdowns, emotional distance or loneliness, difficulty rebuilding trust after hurt, anxiety, low mood, life transitions, separation, or unresolved past experiences that continue to affect present relationships.

My approach is warm, practical, and focused on helping clients create lasting change, not just temporary relief. I help clients better understand the patterns keeping them stuck, improve communication, strengthen emotional connection, and rebuild trust and safety in their relationships. When past experiences or unresolved trauma are contributing to present struggles, I also integrate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients process those deeper emotional wounds and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Whether we are working on couples therapy, relationship repair, trauma healing, or personal growth, my goal is to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and connection.

A Bit About Me Outside of therapy, I feel most grounded in quiet, everyday moments at home with my husband, laughing, talking, and simply being together. Those small moments reflect the kind of connection I hope to help clients build in their own relationships: steady, emotionally safe, and meaningful in everyday life.
