Sexologist

Sarah Filion B.A.

Sexologist

About

I am a great believer in the power of the helping relationship in improving or maintaining good sexual health. My bachelor’s degree in sexology has led me to become a passionate and committed sexologist. I have developed a great sensitivity to the issues experienced by marginalized and more vulnerable populations, including LGBTQ+ and ethnocultural communities, people with disabilities, and victims of emotional and sexual violence. My work experience has also led me to work with young children and adolescent.es, so I am well versed in psychosexual development and sexuality education is one of my passions!

I am a benevolent, empathetic and intuitive listener. I am very open-minded. I advocate feminist, anti-oppressive and humanist approaches. Through my interventions, I aim for empowerment, the resumption of power over one’s sexuality and the understanding of the person’s reality, while following their rhythm and abilities.
