We are a team of Registered Psychotherapists and Social Workers who specialize in supporting individuals through effective and research backed trauma, relationship, and sex therapy.
We began as a trauma focused clinic - our team has a solid understanding of the countless small and large ways that trauma impacts us. We work with traumatic stress and related difficulties such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD and complexPTSD), addiction, self-harm, and suicide ideation. We support survivors of sexual violence as well as those who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, criminal victimization, bullying, war, and near death experiences.
We've found that as people heal, relationships and intimacy naturally becomes a secondary focus. For this reason we offer family, couples, and sex therapy. We support individuals of all gender and sexual identities and relationship structures.
We respect diversity and differences in opinions, values and attitudes. This is reflected through individualized treatment plans which consider each individuals lived and generational experiences. We strive to provide culturally-sensitive, non-discriminatory, and affirming care to culturally diverse populations and BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, kink and polyamorous communities.
Our goal is to help you break free from your past and rediscover a fulfilling life filled with joy and connection.

Approach Description: Our approach to therapy is genuine and empathic. By genuine we mean real - our therapist selves are not an act or a façade. This creates an authentic and safe space for you to explore and heal in.
By empathic, we mean that we are constantly looking to understand your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. There are valid reasons for ALL of the things that we do but the majority of people judge an action before they fully understand it. Through empathy, we create a truly validating space in which you feel safe gaining insights into your experiences and reactions; this will help you better understand yourself.
We appreciate that there is no one size fits all approach to healing and that each individual has unique strengths which derive from their lived experiences. We want to help you discover these strengths and draw on them through out your healing journey. Likewise, we believe that our experiences set us apart from everyone else and so the most effective treatments will also be individualized.
We always begin with an assessment during which we learn about your current circumstances, challenges, and goals. We will share what we think would be a beneficial approach and together we will create a treatment plan. In your treatment plans we will use a variety of evidence-based approaches (the ones research shows work for the difficulties you are reporting). Our plans aren't set in stone - as your needs change, so will the plan.

Client-therapist fit is important. Study after study shows that the client-therapist relationship is just as important (if not more) than the therapeutic modality used. For this reason we offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation for all prospective clients. This consultation is an opportunity for you to meet with one or more clinicians - ask any questions and get a sense for their personality and presence.
It's unlikely you will feel 100% comfortable after 15-minutes - comfort requires trust and trust takes time - however, this meeting will give you a sample of what to expect.
If after the consultation it doesn't feel like the right fit, no problem! We're happy to connect you with another clinician who might better suit your needs.
