Anxiety, Boundaries, and Sex Therapy

We haven't met yet, but I'm glad you're here.

Figuring out the mental health stuff isn’t easy. It can be exhausting and nerve-wracking, especially as we go through all of the options the world wide web sends our way.

If it’s alright with you, I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Ayssa ("ice-a") Scipio. I’m a passionate mental health advocate, an eager sexual health educator, and honestly someone who’s simply trying to make navigating through this big ol’ world a little bit easier.

As a Registered Social Worker (RSW), Psychotherapist in Toronto, I work with people through anxiety and boundaries that haven't quite been working for them lately. I also support folks through intimacy challenges, and with parts of themselves they've learnt to box away because society, loved ones, religion, or past experiences made them feel like they had to.


If any of this sounds like it fits with what you're going through, let's talk.

"Push it Down and Keep on Moving"

We Are So Used to Masking it All

Whether it's because we don't want others thinking we can't carry the load. Or worse. Because we don't want ourselves to think we can't carry the load, so often we push ourselves until we can't take it anymore.

Have You Noticed A Spillover, Yet?

Sometimes, that can look like anxiety, irritability, or just ultimate fatigue showing up in relationships or at work.

You Deserve Support

Well, whatever brought you here, I think you deserve a little support getting through it all.  For some, that means working with an intimacy and sex therapist in Toronto. For others, it's working with a therapist to build up boundaries, communication, and coping skills that actually do what you need.

Any Other Spillovers?

Maybe you're noticing yourself pull back, avoid, or leave things on the back burner in hopes things will work themselves out. Or maybe it's different. Maybe you're experiencing a push away - feeling disconnected from desire, pleasure, and longing.

Group Therapy & Workshops

1:1 therapy is great, but taking new skills you've learnt and working with them in a group setting can really help to bring all of the abstract ideas to life. Groups and workshops allow you to make new connections. You get the chance to learn while building community.

Therapy for Boundaries & Assertiveness

Standing up for yourself and avoiding situations we don't want to be roped into sounds like a great concept, but driving that into action can be intimidating.
