Reduce anxiety & nurture a healthy lifestyle through community-focused couples and sex therapy

Why people choose Rouse?


People choose Rouse because of our specialized niches, which include a unique approach to couples therapy, sex therapy, polyamory & examining attachment styles. Naturally, all these areas can bring up feelings of anxiety and shame. Emotions that have been deeply rooted and suppressed in our minds because of our upbringings, culture and society. At Rouse, we believe that the healthiest option is to bring everything to the surface. This is done through being in the appropriate setting, using the correct communication style and then perhaps the most under-looked, taking one small step at a time. At Rouse, we strongly believe that given the right setting, framework and communication style; the healthiest option is to bring everything to the surface. One small step at a time. No more suppressing. Let our therapists help you become the person you ought to be.

We ask our clients if there is anything specific about out therapists that resonates with them. We ask our clients what it is about our therapists that resonates with them. They tell us that they appreciate and value our therapists diverse backgrounds and lived experiences. They understand the challenges you face because they themselves have been through them. This creates a powerful connection that builds one of the most essential values in our journey: trust. Having this, along with our unique approach, while physically being in our welcoming space, is truly the beginning of exploring your identity. Take a step into our welcoming space and immerse yourself in our unique approach as we guide you to exploring your true identity.
