WHO WE ARE

 Hello! My name is Erin Musick and I am a Registered Psychologist, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and a 200 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher. I am one of the owners of Lethbridge Counselling Services. I have been working in the counselling field since 2006 and hold a Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) degree in Psychology and a Master of Counselling degree (Counselling Psychology). I completed my Sex Therapist training with the Sexual Health Alliance in 2022.

My areas of practice include sexuality and related concerns (sexual difficulties, sexual shame, struggles with desire/arousal, effects of trauma, sexual dysfunction, out of control sexual behaviour) trauma and attachment concerns, health and chronic illness/pain, binge eating and other disordered eating behaviours, body image, depression, anxiety, panic, OCD, adult ADHD, life transitions, fears and phobias. I am kink, poly, CNM and LGBTQIA2S+ friendly and affirming.

I am a Certified EMDR therapist with EMDRIA and have been using EMDR in my practice for 20 years. Other therapeutic modalities that I draw from include somatic approaches, polyvagal, DBT, systems approaches, and ACT and overall, I take a very person-centered and strength based approach in my work. I really enjoy supervision and consultation and supervise Master’s Level students during their practicum experiences as well as provisional psychologists during their registration. I am a Certified EMDR Consultant with EMDRIA and am now am excited to be working towards being an AASECT certified supervisor as well. I also love speaking and teaching and am an avid sharer of knowledge, sometimes with great enthusiasm! You can learn more about me by visiting my website at www.sextherapistyogi.com.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, adult children and pets (Roxy the dog and 2 cats Felix and Ginger). I also love music and can be found singing in my car wherever I go, somehow being able to remember all the lyrics and forgetting where I last left my glasses! I love hiking and being outside as often as I can but am also very happy with a cup of tea and a good movie at home

 Hello! My name is Kate LaRocque and I am Canadian Certified Counsellor and a Certified Sexologist with the American Board of Sexology. I own Rosewood Counselling and have been working in the counselling field since 2022. Initially, I completed a Bachelor of Music (piano performance) in 2008, followed by a Bachelor of Education (music), and I taught piano for about 10 years before returning to university for a Master of Education (Counselling Psychology).

My practice focuses heavily on sexual difficulties that women face: pain with penetration, orgasm difficulties, and especially low desire. In fact, my final project in my master's degree was a website: What to Do When Sex Doesn't Feel Right: A guide to women's sexuality, female sexual dysfunction, getting the help you need, and self-help options. I grew up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and many clients with similar upbringings appreciate their counsellor having a shared lived experience, as do my clients who practice ENM and BDSM.

I have completed additional trainings in OCSB (out-of-control sexual behaviour, sometimes referred to as "sex addiction") and also wrote a book chapter on the topic for an undergrad textbook (Diversity in Addictions Counselling). You can check out my CV for more information about my training and writing.

Outside of counselling, I have a thriving career as a piano entertainer. I love playing recreational badminton with my partner and I enjoy finding other ways to move my body, like adult dance classes. Since my mid-teens, I have been connecting with my Métis cultural heritage--mostly recently through fiddle or jig lessons. My two sweet cats tend to be too disruptive to be allowed to make appearances during online counselling sessions, but I do occasionally show them off to fellow cat lovers. :)
