Calixte Renaud
Psychotherapist (Registered)
“An experienced, compassionate psychotherapist passionate about working with folks who are queer, ENM/Poly, sex workers and kinky. I work with individuals from a trauma-informed, feminist, relational and anti-oppressive lens to help cultivate curiosity, self-compassion and bold hope.”
About Me
Finding a truly safe space is key, especially for queer, ENM/Poly, sex worker, and kinky individuals. As a compassionate psychotherapist, I offer just that. We can explore your experiences together, using a trauma-informed, feminist, and anti-oppressive lens. This relational approach cultivates curiosity and self-compassion. It helps you navigate life with bold hope and authenticity.
Approach
You’ll find sessions designed to hold curiosity and safety—whether in my Toronto office or online—so you can speak about desire, identity and harm without pause. Work moves at your rhythm: I listen closely, reflect patterns back, and use targeted questions and short in-session experiments to explore relationships, attention struggles and addictive cycles. Between sessions I offer brief practices and check-ins to try gentle changes in real life. This way of working often fits queer, ENM/Poly, kinky and sex-working adults seeking clearer boundaries and steadier self-compassion.
