You might experience anxiety, guilt, or shame around sex, have difficulty controlling certain sexual behaviours, or experience functional challenges. Sex issues that are left unresolved can also start to have an impact on other important areas of your life.
Therapy can help you get back in touch with a sense of fulfillment and joy in your sex life and your relationships. It can reconnect you with a sense of vitality, motivation, fulfillment, and energy. Learn more…
Many relationship challenges often lead to conflict and can feel painfully repetitive, like you are stuck in a pattern or a cycle that happens over and over. This might leave you feeling drained and exhausted and with a sense of hopelessness.
Counselling can help you uncover the obstacles that are creating conflict, and learn effective ways to navigate them that leave you feeling fulfilled and encouraged rather than exhausted and drained. Learn more…
Sexual or relational trauma or abuse can cause intense anxiety and leave you re-experiencing a sense of fear or terror, recurring unpleasant bodily sensations, and a sense of losing control of your life, even many years after the trauma or abuse happened. A sense of feeling numb or paralyzed is also common.
Trauma therapy can help you process these challenging experiences and the memories, bodily responses, and recurring sensations caused by them. Learn more…
Approach
My approach to therapy is relational and collaborative. I often incorporate somatic therapy and bring in an openness to the therapeutic space, honouring however that expresses itself for each individual. At times, therapy can take a more hands-on and directive dynamic, but it is also often a space of listening, exploration, discovery, and fostering a deeper connection to parts of yourself. Sometimes a specific approach like EMDR can be helpful, or using a more regimented plan for sex therapy. The process of therapy is both a science and an art. I bring in my knowledge and experience of this process, and together we work towards fostering mental, sexual, relational, and integrative health.
About
Hello! My name is Milos Despotovic (he/him). I’m a somatic therapist and a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) specializing in sex and relationship therapy. I have a Master’s of Counselling Psychology degree, and additional professional training in approaches such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy, the University of Guelph Intensive Sex Therapy Training Program, and more. In addition to my practice here, I work with Numinus Wellness, and in collaboration with them have done training with MAPS to offer MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD. I am also currently engaged in a training and mentorship program to offer psilocybin-assisted therapy for end of life anxiety.
Outside of professional life, I enjoy spending time with family, getting outside and spending time in nature (especially trees, I’m a big fan of trees), and listening to and playing music. I have a lifelong interest in spirituality and the common threads that bring us together as human beings, and have been exploring this understanding actively through meditation and other practices since childhood.
