Louise Dorfman and David Rubinstein are a married couple who have been together for over 35 years. As a close partners, as parents (with a 21-year old son), as individual therapists, and as a husband-and-wife co-therapy team (see couple-to-couple counselling™), they have acquired a rich source of theoretical and practical knowledge to help couples develop emotionally-committed and loving relationships. Louise and David draw upon a unique set of skills and shared experiences in their practice as husband-and-wife co-counsellors, bringing frankness, genuine warmth, and creative energy to each counselling session and couples retreat.

David received his M.A. in Counselling Psychology from The Adler School of Professional Psychology in 1991. He holds an M.A. in Sociology (specializing in Mental Health) from McMaster University.

Back to Top We work with couples and singles to develop committed and loving relationships, fostering closeness among family members and contributing to a socially conscious society. With a passionate eye for the growth of each partner, we help couples and singles regain and sustain love and intimacy. We challenge them to be true to themselves while being tolerant and respectful of each other's differences. Our focus is on helping them stay closely connected by maintaining "emotional separateness". They learn practical skills to help bring these concepts alive, which they are encouraged to integrate into their everyday experience.   Back to Top In our counselling sessions and workshops, we demonstrate The Couple Enrichment Approach™ through our own interactions and shared personal experiences. To help our clients improve the quality of their relationships, we: encourage them to explore the meaning of love in their lives; teach them fundamental skills so that they can become more loving as individuals; challenge them to view their relationships as a process - one that requires individual growth and separateness, unity of purpose, and an understanding of shared values; assist them in handling the emotional challenges associated with life-cycle transitions: premarital planning, child rearing, empty nesting or pre and post-retirement planning; inspire them to regain or recapture the spirit and the passion that originally brought them together; and celebrate with them as they experience the joy of being together and the pleasure of seeing each other grow.
