As a PACT Level 2 couples and family therapist, Manpreet draws from his integrative and strategic training to meet clients where they are with curiosity, and to help them find their path ahead.
Many of us find ourselves stuck with a difficulty that challenge our expectations of what our life would or should be. These struggles may be invisible or may be glaring us in the face every day, and sometimes perniciously and negatively permeate into our relationships. Whether it be the birth of a medically fragile child, depression, anxiety, or other disruptions that threaten a family, it is necessary to find the framework and guidance to put up guard rails, and securely function as a family through these difficulties.

Are you a high-achieving Type A who has accomplished professional success but is struggling in your relationships? You may feel emotionally disengaged and lonely, tired of the vicious circles of broken promises, negative assumptions, and reactions, and beginning to dislike the person you are becoming in your marriage. Relationships can go through various stages and challenges that may create distance between partners. We believe in the concept of the marriage cycle at the beginning, there is love and admiration. Still, the couple evolves as stressors and issues arise, leading to a sense of distance and resentment.

As a couple therapist, I draw upon my expertise in the Gottman Method and utilize the PACT model, and attachment theory to help couples navigate the complexities of their relationship.
The gift of therapy is the path of self-discovery and transformation. Envision a life free from the grips of past trauma, where you connect deeply in your relationships, and find inner peace. As human beings, we are wired for love and connection. It is essential to our well-being. When our relational needs are unmet, we may find ourselves spiraling in all areas of our lives, wondering how things got so out of hand. This is the power of relationship-based trauma therapy- a transformation you can feel inside and observe all around you.

Psychobiological Approach Couple Therapy
How does the psychobiological approach to couples therapy work?
The psychobiological approach to couples therapy combines research in three domains—attachment theory, developmental neuroscience, and arousal regulation—to address relationship challenges. Couples learn about their underlying emotional and physiological responses to different situations so as to identify these responses and then shift them with the help of practice exercises in sessions.
Is the psychobiological approach to couples therapy evidence-based?
While some research has been conducted by its creator, there is little peer-reviewed research to support the efficacy of the psychobiological approach to couples therapy. It’s not as evidence-based as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
How long does the psychobiological approach to couples therapy last?
The psychobiological approach to couples therapy is a relatively short-term therapy, typically less than 12 sessions. However, individual sessions can be much longer. A typical couples therapy session lasts 45 minutes, while these sessions often last for two to three hours, and sometimes three to six hours. Some couples may opt to attend two or three sessions per week.
What are the limitations of the psychobiological approach to couples therapy?
A limitation of the psychobiological approach to couples therapy is that the evidence is much more limited than it is for other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy. Additionally, the psychobiological approach to couples therapy only applies to couples in relationships, so keep in mind that it cannot treat mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.
