About

Adrienne Richardson, PhD – Executive & Trauma-Informed Couples Therapist
As a Registered GESTALT Psychotherapist in Ontario (CRPO #4945) with a PhD in Leadership and Policy, I provide executive couples therapy that blends Gottman Method relationship counseling, trauma recovery, and somatic therapy for lasting results. My practice is designed for high-achieving couples navigating the pressures of leadership, complex relationship challenges, and life transitions where emotional resilience and relational stability are critical.

I specialize in trauma-informed couples therapy, addiction and betrayal recovery, and somatic-based relationship interventions. With advanced credentials as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT), and Certified Couples Betrayal Recovery Therapist (CBRTT), Post-Induction Therapy (PIT). Post Induction Therapy is a specialized approach that helps people heal the lasting effects of childhood relational trauma. It focuses on the ways early emotional wounds shape how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how you experience life. I also integrate evidence-based methods with Gestalt Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Internal Family Systems to help couples heal deeply and reconnect authentically.
Whether you’re an executive couple facing the strain of high-stakes careers, rebuilding after betrayal, or navigating the lasting effects of trauma, I offer discreet, results-driven therapy tailored to your unique relationship goals. My approach empowers couples to restore trust, strengthen emotional intimacy, and create sustainable partnership success—even under the most challenging circumstances.
