Why Ajax Families Choose The Relationship Agency
There are a lot of therapists out there. Here's why people in Ajax keep choosing us — and referring their friends.
We're Specialists, Not Generalists
A lot of therapists say they "also do couples therapy" or they'll take on kids, anxiety, trauma — whatever walks through the door. Our team is different. Every therapist at The Relationship Agency has specific, advanced training in the areas they work in. Our couples therapists are trained in PACT, EFT, and Gottman. Our trauma therapist is EMDR-trained. Our psychoanalyst completed a four-year advanced program at the Toronto Psychoanalytic Institute. You're not getting someone who read a book about your issue — you're getting someone who lives and breathes it.
A Team That Looks Like the Community We Serve
Ajax is one of the most diverse communities in Durham Region, and our team reflects that. We have queer therapists, Black therapists, biracial therapists, and therapists from different cultural backgrounds. We work with interracial couples, LGBTQ+ couples, blended families, newcomers to Canada, and first-generation Canadians. And we have therapists with lived experience in these identities — not just textbook knowledge.
Our psychoanalyst Gabriela Arriola is also bilingual in English and Spanish — one of the only Spanish-speaking therapists in Durham Region.
Award-Winning Practice
We've been recognized as one of the Three Best Rated marriage counsellors in Oshawa for three consecutive years (2024, 2025, and 2026) and won the Canada Choice Award for therapists in 2024. Our founder Michelle Garraway received the 2024 Distinguished Local Social Worker Award from the Ontario Association of Social Workers. These aren't things you can buy — they're earned through consistently great clinical work.
No Waitlist — Matched Within 24 Hours

Questions About Therapy at Our Ajax Office
-
That's what our free consultation is for. You'll spend 20 minutes with one of our intake coordinators who'll ask about what you're going through and match you with the therapist on our team whose training and personality are the best fit. Most people are matched within 24 hours.
-
Usually, yes. Our therapists are Registered Social Workers, and most extended health plans cover social work or psychotherapy. Check your benefits plan for "registered social worker" or "psychotherapy" coverage. We don't direct bill, but we give you receipts to submit for reimbursement.
-
A lot of people have seen a generalist therapist who was nice to talk to but didn't actually know how to work with their specific issue. We're specialists. Our couples therapists have advanced training in PACT, EFT, and Gottman. Our trauma therapist is EMDR-trained. If your last therapist was a general practitioner, this is more like seeing a specialist.
-
That's more common than you'd think. You have two options: start with individual relationship therapy to work on your side of the dynamic (which often shifts the whole relationship), or book a free consultation and we can talk through strategies for getting your partner on board.
-
Yes. We see children as young as 3 for play therapy and teens up to 19 for teen therapy. We also do family therapy when the whole family needs support.
-
Absolutely. Every service we offer in-person is also available through secure video sessions for anyone in Ontario. A lot of our clients switch between in-person and virtual depending on their week.
