Therapy for Problematic Sexual Thoughts and Behaviours
At Guidepoint Clinic, we specialize in helping teens and adults who are struggling with problematic sexual thoughts or behaviours, including those related to sexual offences.
Is Therapy For Problematic Sexual Thoughts Or Behaviour Right For Me?
Experiencing sexual thoughts or behaviours that feel concerning, intrusive, or harmful can be distressing and isolating. Therapy provides a confidential, nonjudgmental space to understand these patterns, reduce risk, and build healthier coping strategies. Seeking support is a proactive step toward change and responsibility.
Distressing Thoughts
Unwanted or persistent sexual thoughts can cause shame, guilt, or anxiety. Therapy helps you manage and reduce their impact.
Risky Behaviour
Engaging in sexual behaviours that put you or others at risk may signal an underlying problem. Support can help you recognize triggers and develop safer alternatives.
Relationship Impact
Problematic behaviours can harm intimacy, trust, or connection. Therapy provides tools to rebuild relationships on healthier foundations.
Feelings of Isolation
It’s common to feel alone in managing these struggles. Therapy offers understanding and practical strategies for change.
Trauma-Informed, Assessment-Driven Care
All services are delivered virtually, allowing individuals and families across Ontario and Newfoundland & Labrador to access specialized care regardless of location.

Therapy for Youth
Guidepoint Clinic has specific expertise in working with adolescents and youth who have engaged in harmful sexual behaviours, including intra-familial behaviours such as sibling sexual abuse.

Our approach prioritizes safety, responsibility, and developmental needs, while recognizing the significant impact these behaviours can have on siblings and the broader family system..
Therapy for Families & Couples
In addition to individual treatment, Guidepoint Clinic offers therapy for partners, parents, and families affected by harmful sexual behaviours. These services support families navigating disclosure, relational rupture, legal involvement, separation, or efforts toward repair and reconnection.
We also provide dedicated support for parents, caregivers, and partners to help them make sense of what has occurred, reduce isolation, and feel supported through challenging decisions.
“You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.”
Court Ordered & Voluntary Sexual Thoughts and Behaviour Therapy
We support both voluntary clients and those required to attend therapy due to a court order or legal requirement in Ontario or Newfoundland. Our clinicians will work with you to meet documentation needs and help you fulfill any legal obligations while receiving compassionate, evidence-based care.
