Sexual Addiction
Chris Pankewich
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.

Iryna Gavrysh
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., CSAT
I work with clients who struggle with compulsive sexual behaviors, pornography addiction and love addiction. I appreciate how these behaviors have often developed as an early coping mechanism to help us deal with complexities of relationships and overwhelm of being in the word. They often begin to impact our mental health and intimate relationships in the long run. I help individuals overcome this, in order to live a more healthy and fulfilling life.

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.
