I am a Registered Social Worker (Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and Ontario Association of Social Workers) with over twenty years of experience in the helping profession.

My roots are in the rural part of Lambton County. I understand the unique challenges that accompany farm and rural life as well as those of urban life as I have spent several years completing education in London and Windsor.

I have experience working with children, youth and families in the residential care setting, child welfare and most recently in primary and secondary education at a local school board.

For the past two years, I have also worked with couples in all different stages of life and love at The Couples Clinic in Sarnia, Ontario. I firmly believe that healthy relationships don’t just happen; it takes intentional and (sometimes) hard work both alone and with your partner but the reward is always worth it.

I have maintained and re-certified Couples Psychoeducational Facilitator training to ensure that you and your partner are not only being heard but learning the skills you need to work through life’s challenges. It is an honor and privilege for me to walk alongside you during your journey.

I have training in additional areas including Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavior Therapy, Attachment, Parenting and Addiction and Suicide.

Over the years I have also been committed to my own path of learning, both personally and professionally, while simultaneously working through my own challenges and changes in life. Life is a journey, and I look forward to assisting your family find the best path to healing, learning and growth. Let’s do this!

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING COUPLES FOR THE COUPLES SPECIFIC INTENSIVE RETREATS. PLEASE BOOK A FREE 30 MINUTE CONSULTATION

Ronnie Littlewood, M.S.W., R.S.W., has spent the last 25 years working in the helping professions, guiding thousands of couples through life’s most tender and turbulent seasons. Her expertise spans complex issues including infertility, infidelity, addiction, and mental health struggles. But what truly sets Ronnie apart is the heart she brings to her work.

Her own upbringing was far from conventional. Raised across multiple provinces, in a series of blended families, and having attended 18 different schools, Ronnie developed an early fascination with love: what creates it, what breaks it, and most importantly, how it heals.

This lifelong curiosity evolved into a career focused on understanding attachment, trauma, and connection. Whether supporting adoptive families, teaching parenting skills, guiding reunifications, or walking couples through the aftermath of betrayal and loss, Ronnie’s mission has remained the same: to help people learn how to love each other—and themselves—with more courage, compassion, and truth.

Ronnie is trained in the PREP Method (Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program), has completed graduate studies in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, and holds Levels 1 and 2 of The Gottman Method. She is also an Approved Clinical Supervisor through ACT (Advanced Counselor Training).

Clients often describe Ronnie as refreshingly real, direct, deeply intuitive, with a knack for humor, energetic insight, and occasionally (tee hee,) some salty language.

Her life’s mission? To help #1MillionMarriages heal, grow, and thrive.
