Our Mission
At The Centre for Sexuality and Couples Therapy, we envision a future where individuals and couples have access to specialized, science-backed care that honors the essential role sexuality, intimacy, and secure attachment play in psychological well-being. We are committed to transforming a historically neglected area of mental health into one where clients feel deeply understood, respected, and supported.
Physical concerns, relationship challenges, and trauma do not exist in isolation, they shape and are shaped by the way people connect, communicate, and feel safe with themselves and others. Navigating these concerns requires a therapeutic approach that is grounded in expertise. Too often, those seeking help in these areas encounter clinicians who lack the nuanced training required to fully address their needs. At SACT, our therapists specialize in sexuality and relational health, ensuring that every story is met with knowledge, sensitivity, and effective strategies tailored to each client’s lived experience.
For couples, we are proud to offer treatment delivered primarily by certified Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) practitioners, considered the gold standard in couples therapy. EFT is grounded in decades of research on adult attachment and has consistently demonstrated enduring success in helping partners heal emotional injuries, build trust, and reconnect. We believe that strong relationships are built on secure bonds, and when couples strengthen their emotional connection they can thrive.
We envision a space where:
- Couples rebuild safety and closeness, learning to turn toward each other rather than away
- Desire differences, sexual pain, shame, and disconnect are treated with compassion and clinical precision
- Trauma survivors heal at a pace that honors their nervous system, reclaiming identity and power
- Diverse relationship structures, orientations, and cultural backgrounds are celebrated and respected
- Clients experience freedom from stigma, knowing their therapist truly gets it
Our approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and rooted in leading psychotherapy science. We aim to eliminate barriers including systemic, geographic, financial, and emotional that prevent people from accessing the specialized help they deserve.
Looking ahead, SACT is committed to shaping a more informed and responsive healthcare system. We will partner with physicians, educators, and mental health practitioners to expand clinical competency in sexual health and intimacy, ensuring no client is dismissed or left without answers. Through training and advocacy, we are working to ensure relational wellness becomes a recognized pillar of comprehensive health care.
We envision a province where every person and every couple has confident access to expert care where fulfilling intimacy, secure relationships, and empowered expression are seen as essential aspects of a thriving life. At SACT, we are building that future with every conversation, every connection, and every healing moment.
