    Sexuality, questions about sex and sexual problems
    Sexual confusion, problems or undesired compulsions are common but rarely discussed. Because there is often a great deal of shame around this topic, many people find it difficult to come forward to get the help they need. Jason Phelps is a psychotherapist in Montreal offering psychotherapy and sex therapy services to individuals and partners exploring their sexuality or experiencing sexual difficulties.
  • Addictions, compulsions and dependence

    specializations

    Addictions, compulsions and dependence
    Addiction is a reality for many people. It affects those afflicted and all that care for them. Addiction can be to substance (drugs, alcohol, pharmaceuticals) or process (sex, porn, gambling). Most dependency problems stem from a need to sooth, escape or self-medicate uncomfortable or unbearable emotions or experiences. Jason Phelps has several years of experience in addictions treatment, from work in abstinence-based residential treatment programs to harm reduction and street work with inner-city youth. He can help you navigate your recovery without shame or judgment.

    specializations

    Surviving violence, abuse or trauma
    Victims and survivors of traumatic events, domestic violence, bullying, physical, sexual or emotional abuse have experienced trauma that will probably stay with them in one form or another for the rest of their lives. Trauma survivors are numerous and the sources of their suffering is frequently masqued by emotional problems, addictions and somatisation. Many people, with appropriate support, find ways of overcoming the hurt, moving from victimization to recovery and connecting more intimately with themselves and those they love.

Sex & porn addiction

LGBTQIA+ informed psychotherapy
Approaches

LGBTQIA+ informed psychotherapy

Jason Phelps offers psychotherapy services informed by feminist, queer, trans and other emancipatory movements. Individual mental health exists within a social context that can be oppressive and alienating. Sometimes, psychotherapy can be more about helping otherwise healthy people survive a dysfunctional society.

Dissociative identity (multiple personality)

As part of his specialization in trauma and recovery, Jason Phelps offers psychotherapy services to people struggling with dissociative identity (DID) or multiple personality (MPD) disorders.
