Therapy in Sarnia: Make a Weekend of Your Healing Journey

Are you looking for a deeper way to invest in your relationship? At The Couple Wellness Experts in Sarnia, I offer in-person therapy intensives designed to help individuals and couples break through patterns, find clarity, and reconnect.

While my associates still offer in-person therapy in Mississauga, I am offering in-person sessions here in Sarnia. I grew up here in Sarnia, and recently moved back with my son and dog. I took the picture depicted in this blog of the waterfront when I was in highschool! I am so pleased to be back, be closer to family, and offer an intimate space to do deep-dive psychotherapy in-person.

For many clients traveling from the Greater Toronto Area and beyond, a 4-hour therapy intensive on a Friday becomes more than just a session-it's the start of a restorative weekend retreat in Sarnia, Ontario. Typically, we would meet from 10am to noon, take a break for an hour, and then resume from 1-3pm. The session space is near to many eating options where you can enjoy a relaxing lunch.

Why Choose In-Person Therapy in Sarnia?

While online therapy is definitely convenient, nothing compares to the grounding experience of meeting face-to-face. Coming to Sarnia for therapy gives you a chance to step outside daily routines, immerse yourself in a safe and supportive space, and dedicate focused time to your personal or relationship growth. A Friday intensive allows us to do deep therapeutic work, and then you can spend the rest of the weekend reflecting, resting, and reconnecting in a beautiful lakeside city.

Things to Do in Sarnia for a Wellness Weekend

When you come to Sarnia for therapy, you're not just booking a session-you're creating your own therapy retreat experience. Here are some of the ways you can make the most of your stay:
