Counsellor Spotlight: Yvonne Paquette, RSW, Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP)

Many people carry a quiet fear when they think about bringing their sex life into a counselling room, the fear of being judged, corrected, or quietly pathologized for who they are and what they want. At Strength in Heart, we want to spotlight someone on our team who has built her counselling practice around removing that fear: Yvonne Paquette, RSW and Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP), who works with individuals in office in Victoria, BC and online across BC and Nova Scotia on sex therapy and the full, complicated, beautiful range of human intimacy.

What we love most about Yvonne's approach is how she describes the actual moment of change in her clients: “that shift when the nerves melt away and a person realizes they're finally safe enough to say the thing they've never said out loud.” That's the work. That's what specialized training, held with an open and non-judgmental heart, can do for someone who has spent years toning themselves down to be acceptable to everyone else.

Have you been quietly editing your desires to make them presentable? Have you been waiting for a provider who won't flinch, won't moralize, won't need you to explain yourself before they can help you?

Yvonne is currently accepting new individual clients for counselling in Victoria BC and online across British Columbia and Nova Scotia.

We offer free 20-minute consultations so you can find out, with nothing on the line, whether Yvonne is the right fit for you. Book your free consultation with Yvonne here and give yourself permission to bring your full self into the room.
