Marie L. Damgaard RCC, CSAT, CMAT, SP
Certified Canadian Counsellor
I work with clients who are experiencing out of control sexual behaviour in an inclusive non shaming atmosphere. I also help spouses and partners heal from the pain of betrayal trauma. Additionally, I believe that human sexuality has a depth of various expressions. As a therapist, my range of expertise includes providing sex therapy for couples and supporting the rainbow end of the sexuality spectrum.

A Bit About Me
I have worked in the field of trauma, addiction and sexuality for over 15 years, beginning with research work during my undergraduate degree in the areas of aging and sexuality, and sexual experiences for men and women and ‘non-normative’ sexual patterns.
​
During my graduate degree, I received extensive training in working with sexually compulsive clients. Additionally, I am a Sex Therapist certification candidate and am excited to support a vast landscape of sexuality as I expand my understanding about human sexuality in supporting diverse clients.
​
It is also a professional honour to have been trained in and to work alongside marginalized populations such as sex workers and Transgender individuals. Other areas of clinical specialization include, sexual trauma, erectile dysfunction, and chronic pelvic pain.
​
These experiences have informed how I view the continuum of sexuality which has various expressions and depth. My range of expertise spans from the shadow side (including out of control sexual behaviour and the effect on partners), to sex therapy and the rainbow end of the spectrum with more nuanced behaviours through mutual negotiation and consent.
​
I am psycho-biologically informed and all of my work is body oriented and mindfulness focused to explore ways in which our minds can pull us into autopilot or become disconnected from ourselves, others and the world.
