Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Masters of Counselling Psychology (MACP)
Addiction to sexual behaviours and compulsions can feel overwhelming, particularly when that loss of control leads to decisions that involve risking losing the things we truly care about. There is not an agreed upon clinical definition of sexual addiction, but it tends to feel compulsive, excessive and hard to stop despite being aware of the consequences. It is not necessarily the specific behaviours that define the addiction, but how those behaviours leave us feeling. Many people suffer from sexual addiction and the associated shame and guilt that tends to follow. There are some proven strategies to explore the deeper causes of these behaviours and work towards changing them. Most imporantly, a commitment to working on them leads many to learn that they are not alone on this journey.

Ivan Pityk
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Sexual addiction, like other forms of addiction, try to fulfill an unmet need, make us cope with life and stress at a detriment to our relationships and meaning in life. To help process this I try to incorporate stress and anxiety management skills, self-compassion and self-esteem building, as well as addictions counseling that emphasizes the power of choice.

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.
