Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists in Ontario

I am a registered clinical social worker, primarily working with people to address concerns related to anxiety, depression, sex and sexuality, low motivation, anger, and relationship difficulties. I have worked for many years, providing services to diverse LGBTQ+ communities, as well as post-secondary students. I aim to create a therapeutic space that is anti-oppressive, sex/ kink -positive, trauma-informed, and values the principles of harm reduction.

Currently accepting patients for virtual & in person EVENING appointments. Tired of feeling tense, having a short fuse, struggling to get things done or feeling hopeless? Emotional experiences impact our health and well-being and can leave someone feeling stuck, disconnected in our relationships or with physical symptoms. Overwhelmed, fear, anger and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. They impact our day to day and relationships with partners and family. I can help you overcome these, guide you through a process of change and teach you coping strategies.

I am a Registered Social Worker holding a Master's in Social Work from York University. Prior to coming to Social Work, I did Doctoral work in education and taught at York University and Seneca College. I specialize in working with young adults with mild to moderate depression and anxiety, as well as individuals who identify as LGBTQ2SIA. I also provide services to parents and families supporting young people in distress.

Specializing in sex therapy, relationship issues & trauma, we are a team of psychotherapists who help those feeling stuck in their relationships (communication, conflict, intimacy, infidelity), their sexuality (desire, erectile dysfunction, kink , opening up) & their mental health (depression, anxiety, trauma) overcome challenges. Together, we will explore your concerns, discuss your goals, explore how you can influence change & supply you with the tools & resources to do so. We will collaboratively develop a treatment plan that suits your needs & preferences. You can choose to have sessions in-person, by video or telephone.

We go through different seasons in our life physically and metaphorically. I see myself as an emotional companion to my client's journey through their most challenging seasons. My goal is to support you through the winters of your life, and even inspire you to enjoy them! My therapeutic approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, culturally-inclusive, LGBTQ2S+ allied, body and sex positive , nonjudgmental, and strength-based, as to ensure that you feel safe enough to be yourself. I see healing as a creative, personal, and non-linear process in which we gain insight over our lived experiences.

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.

One of the bravest things a person can do is to begin to understand their own story. Life's challenges, both big and small, can become overwhelming to manage and carry alone. My role as your therapist is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, express your feelings, and navigate the path to emotional healing and growth. My own healing journey has led me to this work with a passion for welcoming you here as you are. While working together, I aim to reflect back your worth and validate your experiences, knowing that each feeling you carry is invaluable to discovering more of your wholeness.

Hi there :) I'm Christine and I am a white, ADHDer, queer person. I am passionate about helping 2SLGBTQ+ folx, parents, and adults explore challenges anxiety, depression and ADHD-specific struggles including executive dysfunction, procrastination and task initiation. I am also passionate about helping individuals explore different relationship dynamics (such as kink , polyamory and consensual non monogamy). I guide my clients through challenges with struggling to find and create meaning in life as well as help individuals discover and live according to the values they hold.

It is my goal in therapy to create a working relationship that feels safe, collaborative, and effective. I work mainly with adults who identify as LGBT2SQIA+ or who are exploring their gender, sexuality, or relationship preferences (I am kink /poly-friendly). I support individuals seeking a more positive relationship with themselves and others, to cope better with stress and change, and to lead lives more congruent to their needs and values. My approach is informed by both my professional experience and lived experience as a queer and nonbinary person. I invite exploring problems with curiosity, compassion, and playfulness.

Hello! Many people come to see me when they want to feel better about where they are at in life and need of some support. Some may come with a specific issue or concern, from past or present. I will meet you where you are at, in this moment. My clients tend to be ready for change, ready to explore new possibilities and want someone to help them get "unstuck" from old patterns, beliefs, and ideas that aren't working anymore. I see clients for psychotherapy issues and a desire for personal growth. Daytime weekdays only. + + + Please note this is Not a crisis service, it may take me up to 48 hours to reply to any messages. + + +

As a BIPOC immigrant psychotherapist, I'm ready to work with you to navigate through any life challenges that may arise. I look forward to supporting you through any issues related to everyday life, major life transitions, relationships, self-identity, addictions, loss, career/life goals, motivation, anxiety, depression, and stress management. Having worked with our community’s most vulnerable and marginalized over the past 14 years, I know what it feels like to ask yourself why me? Why does this always happen to me? Why do I feel like I am behind everyone else in life? Feeling stuck? Good news, you are not alone!

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* I help people struggling with anxiety/depression develop strategies to help them feel even 1% better/less stressed day by day. Client's have told me that thinking about their wellness journey in these smaller 1% steps is less overwhelming. Those 1%'s will start to add up! I am easy to talk to and down to earth. If you aren't sure what happens in therapy, give me a call! I would be happy to explain the process to you. The consultation is a great time to do a quick "vibe check" to see if we click and if you like my approach. If I am not the right fit for you, I will help connect you to someone who can help you!

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'm so glad you're taking steps to look for the connection and space you need. It can be hard to find a therapist that clicks. Therapy can be a space to cultivate radical acceptance, get clear on your relationship patterns, strengthen your resources, and sow the seeds for the courage to make shifts. Our work together is collaborative, working at the pace of your nervous system and at the speed of trust with yourself and each other.

I support couples to show up the way you want while honouring who you are. Maybe you're kinky, non-monogamous, asexual, gender-expansive and/or neurodivergent. In our sessions we would explore what it means to have authentic connections professionally, platonically, and/or sexually. I'm a white, disabled, neurodivergent, queer+trans person who has experienced many life transitions and identity shifts. I can hold space for the tension between where we are and where we want to be, the pain of disconnection, and the joy of connecting. A no to one path is always a yes to a new one.

Hello and welcome! Seeking therapy can be daunting, so let me share a little about myself to help you determine whether I might be a good fit for you.

The world we operate within can be incredibly challenging, and my hope is to support my clients in living more authentically alongside their various responsibilities. I work with clients ages 13+ experiencing anxiety/stress, depression, life transitions, long distance relationships, inter-cultural, relational, identity, sexuality/gender, and self-esteem challenges.

Living in survival mode is exhausting & I know it took a lot of energy to get here. I support folks looking for new ways to cope with distressing symptoms related to trauma, depression & anxiety. If you are struggling with anger, grief or major life transitions, this is not something you need to do alone & I can be with you while we bring understanding & compassion to what you're experiencing. I also offer Sex Therapy for individuals with concerns such as desire discrepancies, erectile dysfunction, pain, sexual trauma & understanding kink identity.

The decision to access counselling is a personal one. Whether you've been to a counsellor before, or you are just starting to explore the options, thank you. Not just for reading this - but for taking the time to look into what is available and what may be right for you. People generally come to therapy for a reason, such as a specific event that they would like to discuss, or to work through uncomfortable emotions. Together, we can prioritize goals, explore and work through issues, develop new coping strategies, and create a plan to determine next steps.
