Toronto Relationship Clinic (TRC) is a focused group practice of independent contractors specializing in sexual harm, sexual healing, sexual health, and sex education. We are radically anti-oppressive, abolitionist, and actively working towards decolonizing the mental health and justice space. We are a Canadian organization based in Ontario, but all of our services are virtual. We are dedicated to helping people heal from sexual harm and move towards wholeness, liberation, and flourishing. We’re really glad you found us, and we’d love to connect with you. If you would like to learn more about how we can help you, we’d love for you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to talk about your goals and what we offer. We can get to know each other better, talk about any questions or concerns you might have, and make sure that the therapeutic relationship is a good fit because it's important to us that you feel accepted, supported, and safe.
