Find the Support You Need
The Ottawa Centre for Relationship & Sex Therapy offers psychotherapy services for individuals, couples, and people in a wide range of relationship structures. Our therapists hold specific training in the areas they practice. We are a specialized practice offering services that other practices don’t.
Couples and Relationship Therapy
We provide couples therapy and relationship therapy to partners working through conflict, communication difficulties, trust concerns, or major life transitions. We also work with couples who are generally doing well but want support in a particular area. We work with couples at every stage — long-term partnerships, newly formed relationships, and everything in between, including relationships under strain.
Sex Therapy
Our practice specializes in sex therapy. We provide ASTO-certified sex therapy, working with individuals and couples on a wide range of sexual issues and concerns. These can include desire and sexual function, sexual identity, exploring kink or non-monogamy, or the impact of past experiences. Our goal is to help clients improve communication about sex and develop a more fulfilling relationship to their sexuality.
Individual Therapy
Our Ottawa-based practice offers individual psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and concerns related to identity or relationships.
Relationship structures we work with
We have experience working with clients in monogamous and non-monogamous relationships, including polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous (ENM) structures. We are knowledgeable about the specific dynamics and challenges that open and poly relationships involve. We also work with LGBTQ2S+ individuals and couples, and with clients who are kink-aware or engaged in BDSM practices.
