About Us

Registered Psychotherapists Louise Dorfman, MA, RP and David Rubinstein, MA, RP are a husband-and-wife team who offer 3-day private marriage counselling and couples intensive retreats in a quiet country setting 15 minutes south of Orangeville.
 
Both Louise and David are Masters level clinicians who have worked as couples co-therapists since 2000, and have been together as a couple, and as business partners, for over 45 years. Their intensive approach to couple therapy includes both experiential and cognitive learning processes. Unlike many marriage-counselling services, both partners are present in the room at each session, so that they can learn more about how to respond positively, in real time, to each other's emotional needs. They develop deeper personal understandings and awareness through intimate discussions and experiences, coming away with new relationship skills that will help them feel like a team as they face life’s challenges.
 
Louise and David specialize in couples co-therapy, but they also each maintain individual psychotherapy practices. David's focus is on helping couples create and sustain emotionally secure relationships. Louise focuses on women's issues -- relationship skills, self-esteem, trauma survival, and recovery from abuse. She works in-person, by telephone and online.
