Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists in Ontario

As a trans woman, I am particularly passionate about working with members of marginalized groups. I have a keen interest LGBTQ+ issues, those dealing with gender identity concerns, sexuality concerns, and those with experience in the sex work industry. I practice from a sex-positive/ kink -aware perspective.

Welcome. I'm a queer, gender fluid, white, therapist specializing in trauma therapy within queer and trans communities. Whenever you are on your journey towards healing, we honour the complexity of experiences that brought you here, enhance emotional processing and coping skills, and use approaches you find supportive. From a place of empathy, tenderness, consent, and compassion, we address anxiety, stress, sadness, dissociation, grief, loss, rage, self-criticism, shame, and trauma that are the result of interpersonal and systemic experiences of violence and oppression.

I am a registered social worker focusing on helping people address relationship concerns, sex and sexuality, infertility and family building, as well as general mental health concerns. I strive to empower clients to forge their own path toward healing with kindness, empathy, humour, and creativity. I welcome members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, all relationship structures, including non-monogamy and polyamory, and am committed to fostering an anti-oppressive, sex/ kink -positive, trauma-informed practice.

Therapy for ADHD, Anxiety, Anger, and Eating Disorders. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) working with adults and teens on a variety of presenting concerns including ADHD, Anger, Anxiety, Eating Disorders, and Interpersonal and Coping Skills. I use an integrated, client-centered approach to helping my clients, and strive to tailor sessions to your goals, needs, and unique context. I am passionate about working with a diverse client population, therefore, my practice welcomes differing communities (i.e., LGBTQ2S+, Sex-Positive, Nonmonogamy, Body Positivity, etc.).

I am a (gender)queer politicized psychotherapist and somatics practitioner whose work is grounded in embodied healing and social justice. My practice is informed by anti-racist and anti-oppressive praxis; queer and feminist politics; body and sex positive values; kink awareness; harm reduction; and trauma-informed frameworks. I employ a holistic approach that is relational, trauma-informed and anti-oppressive.

I'm queer & neurodivergent and centre the 2SLGBTQ+ community & those in close relationships with 2SLGBTQ+ community. Are you, or your relationship looking for a therapist with lived experience as a queer &/or trans person? Have you previously had to hide parts of self to access care? I aim to support you in exploring self, your relationships, hold space for hard feelings, unburdening the past and move toward healing. I centre the topics you bring, while affirming fluidity & queering my therapy lens'. I often draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Psychodynamic, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), EFT, Polyvagal Theories.

I am a queer and non-binary psychotherapist, offering a holistic approach to healing that understands the interrelatedness of body, mind and spirit.

If you and your partner are going through a tough time in your relationship, you're not alone. Many couples find themselves stuck in difficult patterns, unsure of how to shift things. Whether you wish to address sex, your emotional connection or questions about your relationship style, I can help. It is possible to change your patterns and create the connection you want.

I am glad you made it here. Maybe you want to work on experiencing your emotions with greater ease, navigating sex and relationships, making peace with painful history or just have someone listen to what you say. Therapy can offer a chance to notice patterns, move towards acceptance, create change or just check in with yourself. I take a non-pathologizing approach to struggles and see them as a painful but common part of the human experience. I often work using trauma and attachment informed emotion focused therapy that also uses a relational, intersectional feminist and systemic lens. Together we can work to make sense of things.

I am a Registered Social Worker with experience providing counselling support for individuals, couples and families. I offer a therapeutic process that is Holistic, Trauma-informed, Anti-oppressive, and Client-centered. Together we can explore and understand the spaces in your life where you may feel stuck, gently fostering desired growth. Using a non-judgemental, compassionate approach, I support clients in developing awareness of their thoughts, feelings, body sensations and current coping skills. I draw on a number of therapeutic modalities, giving space for each person's unique capacity to heal.

It takes bravery to start a therapy process, and I welcome you if you are ready to start. As a long-time practitioner of meditation, I employ presence-based strategies helping you connect with self-compassion, bravery and calm. In practice, we explore any habits that are causing difficulty, while also addressing ingrained beliefs and emotions that are contributing to these patterns. You set the pace for the counselling process and we walk through the process together. Using a combination of Narrative, Mindfulness, Emotionally-Focused, and Cognitive Behavioural approaches, I support enhanced resiliency and practical change.

I believe we are doing the best we can with the tools available. From my perspective, trauma can get locked in the body if there isn't enough safety to respond in the moment. I will support you in building on the wisdom you already have, and will creatively explore with you the places you feel stuck, shaky, or unmet. Through a relational and experiential process, I will bring attention and compassion to your suffering and untended needs. You can expect me to be warm, direct, steady, and responsive. Additionally, I am Queer & Trans affirming, kink -aware, and knowledgeable around polyamory/non monogamy.

I believe it takes great courage to explore our experiences, confront our problems, and dare to change ourselves. I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental space where we can deeply engage with the issues you have brought to therapy. I am based in Ottawa providing individual counselling/psychotherapy services virtually in English to individuals 18 years of age and older in Ontario. I welcome clients of all backgrounds. I am allied to the BIPOC, LGBTQ, non-monogamous, and kink communities.

As a queer individual providing pragmatic person-centred care, my goals are your goals. Approaching health through a wholistic lens, I hold space for folks with intention of creating an atmosphere of safety and serenity where the internal landscape can be explored with a sense of curiosity and reverence. I use an eclectic approach based in anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and sex positive framework to fit the needs of my clients. Whether it be navigating mental wellness, loss, addiction, or life changes; we can work together to bring you closer to the nature of your true will.

If you are considering therapy, you have already started down your path to self discovery and healing. You will find a safe and non judgmental space with me that fosters empathy, validation and empowerment. I strive to a build a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship with you. You are the expert in your own life and I am here to understand your experiences and support you in making meaningful and lasting changes. I am very passionate about therapy; it is a privilege to be part of your journey.

Looking for support? Therapy offers an opportunity to express yourself, explore patterns of feeling and behaviour, talk through challenges, try different ways of being and relating, and navigate legacies of trauma. I integrate Gestalt, Somatic Experiencing, and Parts Work in a practice that is experiential, embodied, and relational. I am drawn to approaches that embrace an egalitarian relationship between client and therapist, take a non-pathologizing approach to mental health, and invite creativity. I emphasize the development of self and body awareness as a way to increase choice, flexibility, acceptance, and ultimately wellbeing.

I provide a warm and accepting place where you can be yourself - with all your thoughts and feelings, whatever they might be. Together, we will explore what's going on in your life today, and how your past experiences may be affecting you in the present. I will support you in identifying and moving towards areas of growth and healing that feel right for you, so that you can feel better and thrive in many aspects of your life, including your relationship with yourself and others.
