Marriage Counselors for Couples Across Ontario

The Importance of Finding the Right Couple Therapist in Kitchener, Ontario

When seeking marriage counseling, choosing a therapist closest to your location or covered by your insurance is tempting. However, your marriage is your most important relationship; investing in the right counselor can make all the difference.

If you’re looking for marriage counseling that brings real transformation, consider attending a marriage intensive or marriage retreat right here in Kitchener, Ontario, or the surrounding areas like Waterloo, Cambridge, and Guelph.

In our experience serving couples for over a decade, we’ve found that traditional weekly 50-90-minute sessions are often too brief to achieve lasting change. Your session is over when you settle in and start discussing your issues.

That’s why at The Marriage Restoration Project, we offer 2-day marriage intensives—a focused and immersive experience designed to help you reconnect, resolve conflict, and rebuild your relationship. Our intensives give you the time and space needed for deep work, free from daily distractions.

Can you really trust your marriage counselor?

What You Should Know Before Choosing a Marriage & Family Therapist.

Marriage Counseling can be a matter of life or death for your relationship. Many counselors are not equipped to handle the dynamic of working with two people in a room. Unless dealt with in a skillful way, conflict can escalate and the sessions can do more damage than good- stirring up old hurt and not offering constructive solutions for healing. Some couples counselors encourage divorce, for lack of a better solution.

You are coming in to make your marriage better or to save it. The last thing you want to hear is that the professional can’t help you!

When it comes to marriage counselors Baltimore has many options. It’s important to choose a couples therapist who supports your goals for your relationship.

If your goal is to stay together and fix your marriage problems, our Private 2 day Marriage Restoration Retreat is for you. In this immersive retreat (aka marriage bootcamp) we use imago couples therapy to help you discover the root cause of your relationship and communication problems. Then you relearn how to communicate and really hear each other. Imago relationship therapy works! We are located in the heart of Pikesville, across from the Pikesville post office. Contact us today!

What Happens During the 2 Day Intensive Retreat:

My name is Rabbi Shlomo Slatkin and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Certified Imago Relationships Therapist (Advanced Clinician). I’ve put together a tried and true formula for you so that that you can feel optimistic and hopeful again about enjoying a marriage that is respectful, supportive, and healthy. It would be a privilege to work with you and support you in effectively bringing back clarity and love into your relationship.

If you’re experiencing difficulties in your marriage, you NEED to have an intensive experience in order to create a breakthrough for your relationship.

And it is also crucial to have followup to integrate what you’ve learned so that your results will be long lasting- which is what you want!

Unlike a marriage workshop where you participate in a group setting with other couples, the retreat will give the privacy you need to deal with some of the most painful and personal issues you are facing in your relationship.

The Marriage Restoration Retreat is two full days of marital therapy in my Baltimore office, plus 8 follow-up sessions in person or on Skype. If you’re in crisis, the first thing that you are looking for is the hope that your relationship can be better. Weekly sessions, which are normally only 50 minutes with other therapists, will often take a while to get you to a better place, and that’s provided that you have the stamina and resources to stick it out!

Couples leave our 2 Day Retreat with newfound hope for their relationship, an understanding of what went wrong, and new skills to move forward.

Filled with momentum and new commitment to your relationship, you’ve accomplished what would take in 6 months of therapy. All the resistance is gone and now you can do the real work to make your marriage wonderful in our 8 follow up sessions.

Finding the Right Couples Counselor

It’s tempting to want to choose a marriage counselor that is closest to your zipcode and takes your insurance.

Since your marriage is your most important relationship, you’ll want to make sure you set yourself up for success by choosing the best counselor for your marriage, not the closest or the cheapest counselor.

If you want marriage counseling that will actually work and not make things worse, think about attending a marriage intensive or marriage retreat.

After working for over a decade serving the Baltimore community, we noticed that couples wanting to fix their marriage can’t possibly achieve the total transformation that they want in once a week 50-90 minute sessions. By the time you sit down and talk with each other and with the therapist, your time is up.

That’s why, here at The Marriage Restoration Project, we only see couples in a 2 day marriage intensive format for their marriage counseling needs.

This intensive marriage counseling format works, and that’s why Rabbi and Rivka Slatkin, Baltimore natives, have over 10 years’ of real marriage retreat reviews and testimonials from couples all over Baltimore, Washington, and up and down the East Coast!

Rabbi and Rivka Slatkin, Baltimore natives, have over 10 years’ experience serving the Baltimore community. Their successful marriage counseling work has been featured locally on many news outlets.

Usually, the best rated relationship therapists are out of network. There are many therapists you can choose from here in Baltimore. We hope that you will consider our “No Blame, No Shame” approach to marriage counseling that we’ve been using successfully with couples for over a decade.

Can you really trust your marriage counselor? What You Should Know Before Choosing an Marriage & Family Therapist.

Marriage Counseling can be a matter of life or death for your relationship. Many counselors are not equipped to handle the dynamic of working with two people in a room. Unless dealt with properly, marriage counseling can actually make your marriage worse.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Choose a Licensed Marriage Counselor with years of experience helping couples succeed.
  • Choose someone who specializes in couples and marriage counseling, not just general therapy.
  • Find a counselor who has training in Imago Relationship Therapy or Gottman Method or EFT or PREP or something proven.
  • Don’t settle for a counselor who is just a generalist or unlicensed counselor.

One of the most common misconceptions about marriage counseling is that the couples therapist can “fix” your spouse. That’s simply not true. Counseling helps both spouses communicate better and understand each other, but it’s not a magic wand.

We Help You Find What’s Really Going On

Often, couples come to therapy with surface issues like communication problems, infidelity, or money fights. But we work to uncover the deeper emotional disconnect that lies beneath the symptoms.

Our approach is “No Blame, No Shame” — everyone’s hurt and everyone wants to be understood.
