Confidential, Ethical, Effective: 
Real Support Without Public Testimonials

At Vaughan Relationship Centre, your privacy comes first. That’s why we don’t share client testimonials. But our experienced team is here to help you build stronger, healthier relationships.

Support You Can Trust

We follow the highest ethical standards so you can feel safe, supported, and respected on your therapy journey.

At Vaughan Relationship Centre, we honour the ethical standards set by the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, as well as the College of Psychotherapists. These guidelines prohibit client endorsements and testimonials to keep therapy relationships safe, confidential, and free from pressure.

The therapists at the Vaughan Relationship Centre have specialized training in relationship therapy. Also, they excel in addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, family dynamics, stress alleviation, abuse, and overcoming the lingering effects of past family problems.

Many of our clients seek our assistance in improving their relationships, especially in overcoming communication barriers and past grievances.  We have achieved remarkable success assisting our clients in creating stronger bonds while acquiring valuable skills like attentive listening and mutual understanding.

While most clients come to us to improve their relationships, not all come in with the same hope or agenda.  Occasionally, clients approach us for support to end their relationships, which can be a challenging and emotional process for both parties.

Our primary objective is to assist our clients in achieving their relationship goals without imposing our personal beliefs on how they should navigate their lives. We aim to empower our clients to reach their goals for therapy.
