Meet Your Certified Sex & Relationship Therapist in Red Deer
Eros Therapeutic was founded to provide a respectful, confidential space where individuals, couples, and other relationship groups can explore the most personal parts of their emotional and relational lives. We offer sex therapy, relationship therapy, and individual counselling to adults seeking clarity, connection, or support in navigating complex emotional terrain.
Nick Breitenbach (he/they) is a Registered Psychologist based in Red Deer and the first Certified Sex Therapist (AASECT) practicing out of Central Alberta. His approach integrates trauma-informed care, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral modalities among many other modalities, offering structured, evidence-based support in a compassionate and affirming setting.
Services are available in-person at our Red Deer office or remotely across Alberta via secure video conferencing.
What We Do
Sex Therapy
Sex therapy offers a supportive space to explore concerns related to desire, arousal, intimacy, or sexual wellbeing. You don’t have to navigate these experiences alone.
Relationship & Couples Counselling
Relationship structures can be complex. Couples counselling provides a structured environment to work through communication issues, disconnection, or conflict — together.
Individual Counselling
Life can be overwhelming at times. Individual counselling gives you space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences — with professional guidance and care.
Gender-Affirming Therapy
Gender-affirming therapy supports individuals exploring or navigating gender identity with respect, affirmation, and informed care.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Healing from trauma takes time. This therapy helps you process difficult events safely and at your own pace, using proven therapeutic methods.

How We Work -
Compassionate, Evidence-Based Care
At Eros Therapeutic, therapy is approached as a collaborative, respectful process grounded in clinical integrity and human understanding. Every session is guided by evidence-based practices and adapted to the unique needs of each individual or couple. We work from a place of empathy, professionalism, and ongoing education to ensure our clients receive ethical, informed care.
Certified Sex Therapist (AASECT)
One of the few clinicians in Alberta with formal certification in sex therapy through the American Association of Sex Educators, Counsellors & Therapists.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Skills-based approach that supports couples in building communication, connection, and conflict resolution.
Cognitive-Behavioral Conjoint Therapy (CBCT) for PTSD
Evidence-based treatment that supports both individual trauma processing and relationship healing.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Focuses on shifting unhelpful thoughts related to trauma and improving emotional resilience.
Gender-Affirming Therapy
Provides space for individuals to explore and affirm gender identity with sensitivity and clinical care.
LGBTQ2S+ & Kink-Affirming Practice
A respectful, inclusive space for all identities, orientations, and relationship structures.
Trauma-Informed & Client-Centered
All sessions are grounded in safety, consent, and the belief that therapy should happen at your pace, not ours.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
A highly researched trauma treatment that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories using bilateral stimulation techniques, such as eye movements. EMDR is especially helpful for trauma that feels “stuck.”
Whether you're seeking support as an individual, a couple, or in a structured relationship, therapy at Eros Therapeutic is built on mutual trust, cultural humility, and deep respect for your lived experience.
Insights on Intimacy, Identity, and Connection
Therapy doesn’t start or end in the session. At Eros Therapeutic, we believe that informed, ongoing reflection is part of the healing process. Our advice (Blog) offers research-informed perspectives on topics like intimacy, emotional wellness, identity exploration, and healthy relationships—written with compassion and grounded in ethical practice.
