Relationships are complicated, and it’s easy to feel stuck in patterns that leave you wondering why things never seem to change. Maybe small misunderstandings keep turning into big arguments, or the growing emotional distance feels impossible to bridge. These experiences can be overwhelming, exhausting, and isolating. And it’s not just relationships that can feel confusing. Maybe you thought you’d have life figured out by now with a stable career, fulfilling friendships, a clear sense of direction, but instead, you’re questioning everything. This pressure can feel paralyzing.

But what if you could finally break those cycles for good? I support individuals and couples in understanding the deeper emotional and relational patterns that keep them feeling stuck. Through a compassionate, non-judgmental, and evidence-based approach, I help you rebuild communication, trust, and connection from the ground up.

If you’re overwhelmed by recurring emotional dynamics or struggling to navigate difficult relationship moments, I offer a safe, grounded space where we work together to create lasting, meaningful change. You’re not alone, and I am here to support you through this. If you’re ready to begin creating meaningful change, I’m here to guide and support the process.

Hi, I’m Mara Behan, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). With a background in education and social services, I have spent 20+ years working with individuals in crisis and helping them to navigate life’s ups and downs.

I work with couples and individuals who are seeking growth, healing, and stronger connections. I have a special interest in supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause, and I also support folks with anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I use evidence-based therapies tailored to your needs, including: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed and somatic approaches.

In my free time, I love to spend time with my family and rescue dog “Oreo’, playing games, hiking and cooking together. As a parent of 3, my experience navigating children with neurodiversity, allergies and parenting teenagers gives me a grounded, real-life understanding of family challenges.

Whether you’re facing anxiety, relationship strain, or stress related to life’s transitions, I offer a warm, judgment-free space to make sense of what you’re going through. Clients often describe my style as compassionate, approachable, and gently honest, with room for both healing and a bit of humor. If you’re ready for change, we can work together to build the more joyful life and relationships you deserve.
