Erin Greenough,

MEd

Registered Provisional Psychologist

Hi, I am Erin, a therapist who works with individuals and couples looking for an open and non-judgemental space to explore their concerns. 

Whether this is your first time or your fifth time seeing a therapist, opening up to someone new is never easy. Oftentimes an environment where we feel safe and secure can help us grow into our authentic selves and build resiliency. My goal is to be that place for you. 

I understand that, depending on where we are or who we are with, being our authentic selves might not always feel safe. Whether you are struggling with your sexuality, your mental health, your gender, or your relationships, I strive to create that open and non-judgmental space for you to explore who you are. I also understand that trauma can impact how we feel safe in our bodies and our environment. My hope is that together we can untangle those threads that tie our bodies to our trauma and find a way to live more authentically and free in who we are. 

We all come from different walks of life, and I am committed to honouring wherever you are in your personal journey. I do this by taking a person-centred and anti-oppressive approach to therapy. Part of my authenticity is using humour. Therapy doesn’t have to be stuffy or serious all the time. Sex can be tough to talk about, so let’s have some fun with it! For times when you’re feeling like you might benefit from some new skills, I use a cognitive-behavioural approach to get to the root of how your thoughts, behaviours, and emotions can best serve you and your goals.

Available Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays. Sessions are available virtually & in-person.

Why I became a therapist?

I chose to work in sex therapy because I believe that feeling secure in our authentic selves is a big part of our mental health, and sex can often be a part of this journey. We are constantly bombarded with so many messages about sex, but how often do we stop to challenge these? Whether you are having difficulty in  your sexual relationships, your sexuality, or questioning whether or not sex is even for you, we can all benefit from taking a step back, checking the messages we have learned throughout our lives, and deciding whether or not these are still serving us. Everyone’s journey is unique, and I want to be there to support that journey in a way that is safe, evidence-based, and supportive.
