CONECT is the #1 top-rated one-day couples therapy workshop in Laval, QC, designed for couples who love each other but feel like they are speaking different languages. It is led by an expert, OPQ-licensed psychologist who is certified in the Process Communication Model (PCM), the communication tool originally developed for NASA. Each session is intentionally limited to a maximum of five couples for an intimate, specialist-led experience.
OPQ-licensed psychologist
PCM-certified facilitator
Maximum 5 couples
Personal profiles included
Most couples who come to our Laval clinic are not fighting because they have fallen out of love. They are fighting because they are speaking two different languages without realizing it.
CONECT is built on the Process Communication Model (PCM), a framework originally developed for NASA astronaut crews and now used by diplomats, crisis negotiators, and thousands of couples worldwide. As Laval’s expert, PCM-certified couples specialists, our top-rated therapists help you see how you each communicate, what you need to stay at your best, and how to reach each other when stress gets in the way. This is not traditional couples therapy.
It is one focused day of expert-led learning, conducted in private with your partner under the guidance of a licensed psychologist.
You leave with a personalized map of your relationship and practical tools you can use the very next morning.
Each letter represents a part of the day and a step in the process. Together, they form a complete arc from arrival to transformation.
Begin by meeting your partner where they actually are — not where you assume they are.
Create the conditions where vulnerability feels safe, even for the guarded partner.
Identify your core psychological needs through the PCM profile — and learn to recognize your partner’s.
Learn how to receive your partner’s needs with care, even when they’re different from yours.
The final step: teaching each other who you really are, so the understanding lasts beyond the workshop.
Before the workshop, each partner completes their PCM inventory online (about 30 minutes, at home). The day itself is entirely dedicated to application.
9:00
Welcome, coffee, and introductions. Ground rules for confidentiality and respect. A gentle opening exercise to arrive as a couple.
9:30
Introduction to the PCM framework: the six personality types, their strengths, and the concept of base vs. phase. No jargon — real examples.
10:45
Discover your own profile and your partner’s profile. Identify your core psychological needs. Recognize where you harmonize and where you rub.
12:00
A light lunch served on-site. An informal moment to digest the morning and meet the other couples.
13:00
Under pressure: how your type changes when stress rises. Identify your personal distress sequence and your partner’s — and learn to spot them before they escalate.
14:30
Guided role-plays in private between the two of you. Practice reaching your partner in their language. A confidential space — you share nothing unless you want to.
15:30
Your personalized game plan: key takeaways, phrases that work for your specific profile combination, and three commitments for the next two weeks.
16:00
Group reflection and goodbye. Your workbook and profiles are yours to keep.
Both workshops run 9:00 to 16:00 at Clinic Dr Bita Laval. Lunch and all materials included. Payment plan available.

“
No, not in the strict sense. CONECT is a training and development activity led by a psychologist. We teach you a framework, apply it to your relationship, and you leave with concrete tools. If your situation calls for deeper work, we can refer you to couples therapy after the workshop.
No. The couple exercises are done privately, just between the two of you. Group discussions focus on the framework and examples, not your personal story. You share only what you want, when you want to.
Absolutely. Many couples attend as a preventive check-in — to strengthen what’s already working and build tools before the inevitable storms arrive. CONECT is as useful when things are going well as when there’s tension.
Full refund up to 14 days before the workshop date. Between 14 and 7 days, 50% refund or free transfer to a later date. Less than 7 days before, no refund is possible, but a transfer can be considered case by case.
Yes. You can split the payment into two parts: a deposit to secure your spot and the balance 14 days before the workshop. Contact us to arrange.
This comes up often. We recommend having an honest conversation with your partner before registering: the workshop requires both people to show up and participate. If your partner is hesitant, a short 15-minute call with the psychologist can often help the conversation.
Because the workshop is a training activity rather than a psychotherapy session, coverage varies by insurer. An official receipt is provided; we recommend checking with your insurance plan whether mental health education or development activities are covered.

Led by expert, OPQ-licensed psychologists at Clinic Dr. Bita, it is ideal for couples moving in together, navigating long-term commitment, blended families, a new baby, a rough patch, or simply a preventive relationship check-in.

The CONECT couples workshop is held at Clinic Dr. Bita Laval, located at 2550 Bd Daniel-Johnson #400, Laval, QC H7T 2L1. This is one of the #1 top-rated couples therapy facilities in Laval, easily accessible from Montreal, the West Island, Brossard, and the broader Greater Montreal area.
CONECT is led by an expert, OPQ-licensed psychologist (Ordre des psychologues du Québec) who is also a certified facilitator in the Process Communication Model (PCM). Clinic Dr. Bita’s specialists are widely recognized as among the best couples therapists in Laval, QC, combining clinical expertise with internationally validated communication frameworks.
The Process Communication Model (PCM) is a scientifically validated communication framework originally developed for NASA to select and train astronaut crews. It is now used by diplomats, crisis negotiators, and top-rated couples therapists worldwide. At our Laval clinic, PCM helps couples identify their core psychological needs, recognize stress patterns, and learn the exact language that reaches their partner.
Traditional couples therapy usually takes place over many weekly sessions. CONECT compresses that learning into one expert-led day in Laval using the PCM framework, plus personalized profiles for each partner. You leave with a clear map of your relationship and concrete tools you can use the very next morning. This is why it has become a top-rated couples workshop choice for busy professionals across Greater Montreal.
CONECT runs from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (six full hours) at Clinic Dr. Bita Laval, QC.

Because CONECT is structured as a couples training and development activity rather than a clinical psychotherapy session, coverage varies by insurer.

Our Laval team will provide an official receipt, and we recommend you confirm reimbursement directly with your insurance provider.
