Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are struggling with sex or pornography addiction, you may feel caught in a cycle that brings temporary relief but leaves you with guilt, secrecy, or shame. You may have tried to stop on your own, only to find the urges returning under stress, loneliness, or emotional overwhelm. Over time, these patterns can affect your relationships, integrity, and self-control.
At Selah Counselling, we approach sexual addiction with clarity, structure, and compassion. We understand that these behaviours are often linked to unmet emotional needs, trauma, attachment wounds, or nervous system dysregulation rather than simply desire. Together, we identify triggers, strengthen accountability, build distress tolerance skills, and address the underlying drivers of the behaviour. When relationships have been affected, we also support repair and rebuilding trust where appropriate. Our goal is not shame-based change, but sustainable freedom that restores integrity, connection, and steadiness over time.

Angela Popovici
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, B.Sc Psych, MACP
I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for individuals struggling with sexual addiction and compulsive sexual behaviors. I understand that sexual addiction can affect relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being, and believes that healing begins with support, understanding, and practical strategies for change.
Using an integrative approach I help clients identify patterns, understand underlying triggers, and develop healthier coping strategies. My approach emphasizes self-compassion, personal responsibility, and building resilience, helping clients regain control and develop a balanced, fulfilling life.
I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment to work through challenges, strengthen self-awareness, and take meaningful steps toward recovery—one compassionate step at a time.

Your Story Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MSc, CCC, RMFT, RSW, RP
Talking about sex, sexuality, and gender can be a stressful thing, even with loved ones that you fully trust. We work with individuals, couples, triads/tripods, quads and all relationships by creating a safe and shame-free environment. Helping clients seek out what blocks them from being able to explore all aspects of their preferred ways of living, loving, and seeking desire. We strive to help clients build deeper connections with themselves and others in their sexual relationships as well as creating a safe space to work through sexual concerns. Some examples of topics discussed in sex therapy include: sexual addiction, low desire, sexual trauma, post-affair intimacy, exploring kinks/fantasies, and navigating open relationships (not all are listed here).
As a passionate allies to the LGBTQ2+ community, we also walk alongside clients as they explore what it means from them to embody their preferred gender, sexuality, and sexual orientation. We believe strongly in helping those disenfranchised from their powers and rights, and strive to create a safe and respectful space for people to explore who they are. Our therapists can help you identify the roots of your struggles, offer a safe space for respite and together with you create a custom treatment plan to overcome them.

Carl Malmsten
Therapist, MA, RCC, Rhyp
Sexual behaviors that feel compulsive or out of control are often linked to deeper emotional needs, pain, or isolation. I offer a non-shaming, structured space to explore the roots, restore integrity, and rebuild connection — with yourself and others.
