Sex Therapists in Nepean, ON

I am dedicated to helping my clients reach their goals. I see individuals, couples and families. I am also open to supervisees (students or RPQ). My main areas of expertise are anxiety and depression, sexual issues (such as sex addiction and improving sexual relationships) and communication skill building with couples and families. I am LGBTQ, gender nonbinary, poly and kink-friendly. I am a straight-up and forward therapist. I work with my clients where they're at, in that moment. Goals are addressed in a collaborative, on-going fashion. Together, we can heal your relationships and help you reach your full potential.

Are you a couple struggling with communicating your needs and resolving conflict in your relationships? Perhaps you’re recovering from infidelity or looking to have a more satisfying sexual life. Do you experience anxiety and stress that impact your self-esteem? Maybe you are in an important transitional time in your life and are looking to make significant shifts that require clarity and a strong sense of self. Or life has thrown you a curve ball and you're unsure of how to adapt. If you are struggling to find meaning and motivation within yourself, your relationship or your family, our team can help.

Thanks for stopping by! I’m Alicia and would love to support you with exploring your inner world(s). I know how challenging it can be to do so and I am hopeful that by working as a team, it will bring some clarity surrounding your journey. I am passionate about helping clients find their voice and reaching a place within themselves where they feel safe and compassionate. My goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental space for clients to feel comfortable to bring in any thought or concern that they would like to discuss throughout our sessions.

I provide warm, heart-connected and empathetic counselling, coaching, mediation and hypnotherapy services to individuals, couples and families. I concentrate on "wholistic" healing and empowerment rather than on being clinical and "helping". Basically, I form what I call a "Healing Partnership" with the people who come for my services. I tend to be quite eclectic and bring a wide range of skills, techniques, modalities and wisdom to each counselling interaction. Please contact me to enhance your life and to make the most of each moment. My favourite slogan is: "Listening well is the most eloquent sign of caring."

I work with individuals, couples and families of all cultural/spiritual backgrounds. I use an eclectic treatment approach to address anxiety, depression, anger, communication issues and relationship recovery, addictions, work/life balance, self-esteem, post-traumatic stress, career and many other issues. I believe that active listening is at the heart of effective therapy, and I work to help my clients find their own hidden strengths, empowering them to effectively resolve their issues. My personal life mission is to assist my clients in identifying solutions to the problems that prevent them from enjoying their lives to the fullest extent possible.

I am currently accepting new individual or couple clients for in person or virtual therapy sessions. As an individual and couple's therapist, my goal is to provide you with a comfortable environment in which you can explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviors and personal challenges. I know at times we are overwhelmed by life's challenges. This can lead to feeling lost, confused, overwhelmed, stuck or hopeless. I believe therapy is a great asset in getting you through such a difficult time and moving towards feeling better. I would be happy to be your therapist and accompany you on this new experience.

"I AM CURRENTLY ACCEPTING new CLIENTS" My direct number is 613-294-6592. My vocation and passion is to assist couples, individuals and families to use the challenges they experience as an opportunity for growth. The goal in therapy is to explore the root causes of adversity and success so there is mindfulness regarding clear goal setting; this will contribute to balance and harmony in your life. Over the past 29 years my personal life and work with clients have taught me that we are all challenged by trust and emotional intimacy issues. I am passionate about empowering others to design vibrant relationships and lives.

PLEASE NOTE: CURRENTLY ONLY ACCEPTING CLIENTS REFERRED DIRECTLY BY FERTILITY CLINICS. Infertility and Reproductive Health Counselling is a central focus for my practice: Individuals and couples facing the stresses of infertility and its treatments, loss, grief, difficult decision-making, etc. I provide the mandatory counselling assessment sessions required by law preceding infertility treatments. My counselling style is collaborative and in every situation, we focus on building hope, courage and resilience in the face of challenges and loss.

"My fundamental goal is to help my clients know themselves better so that they develop the capacity to feel good about themselves and have healthy and meaningful relationships in their lives, as well as make choices that reflect their personal goals".

Are you struggling with self-esteem? Have the last couple of years taken a toll on your mental health? Perhaps your relationship or family life is less fulfilling or more conflict prone. Maybe you are feeling anxious, depressed, or unmotivated in your personal or professional life. Or you are caring a lot for others only to feel burned out, depleted and short changed. These days, the demand on our emotional resources is more intense than ever. Managing ourselves and our relationships at home and at work may feel like an uphill battle with no finish line in sight. Now is the time to take better care of yourself. Start here, with us.

I work with people who experience intense emotions with the aim of coming to understand these feelings as not only real, but also important, valid, and meaningful. Generally, this includes teens (13+), young adults, adults, and couples who are hoping to work toward managing their feelings in a way that allows them to interact with the world, and their loved ones, more effectively. As someone who focuses on this area of feelings work I have developed strong skills working with anxiety, BPD, ADHD, trauma, and grief, as these areas are often interconnected. Clients often describe me as warm, kind, and (at least a little bit) funny.

Ottawa Men's Counseling helps men and those who care for them navigate trauma and difficult situations. My ideal client is someone looking for solutions given with a practical, realistic application in a goal focused manner. The focus is on providing healthy ways to improve your mental well being you can manage and relate to. Whether online or in-person, I can give you genuine ways to improve your situation and somebody to be a partner providing insight into your struggles. Stop suffering in silence and reach out.

I help people manage emotions and have enriching relationships with themselves and others. Struggles with self esteem & confidence, navigating interpersonal relationships, anxiety & stress, and finding relief from PTSD & trauma are some of my specialties. I also help those who feel confused with their work or life path. You are unique, and your therapy should reflect this. This is why I tailor therapy to your distinct needs. What makes me different as a therapist? I am refreshingly active and creative in session. I ask provoking questions, and my clients feel seen, heard and understood. I also interject humour therapeutically.

I am a registered Psychological Associate with the College of Psychologists of Ontario.

Wednesdays I share space at 2039 Robertson Road, Suite 501, at the back of Bell Mews Plaza. I have experience working with childhood abuse, emotional regulation including anger, depression and grief as well as sexual identity and sexual expression; separation or divorce; and, improving interpersonal or work relationships.
