Clinique de sexologie et psychothérapie de la Rive-Sud

What Clinique de sexologie et psychothérapie de la Rive-Sud does

Clinique de sexologie et psychothérapie de la Rive-Sud is a private, founder-led sexology and psychotherapy practice operating in Quebec, Canada. Founded in 2019 by Marie-Josée Dubé, a sexologist-psychotherapist with over 20 years in practice, the clinic delivers individual and couple psychotherapy, individual and couple relationship aid (sexology), child and adolescent therapy, supervised trainee services, group workshops (including the Imago-based 'Le défi du couple'), teleconsultation via Zoom Pro, and specialized services such as surrogacy consultations. The practice operates from two physical locations — Longueuil (headquarters, established 2019) and Saint-Hyacinthe (recently opened) — and serves individuals, couples, families, and children across Montreal's South Shore and via remote consultation.

The clinic's underlying technology stack is conventional SaaS-based: GoRendezvous for appointment scheduling and client record management, Zoom Pro for telehealth, Plume IA for AI-assisted clinical note drafting, Mailchimp for newsletters, Google Workspace for email, and a WordPress website with Wordfence, CleanTalk, Complianz, and PayPal integrations. No proprietary technology or in-house software is indicated; the practice uses off-the-shelf vendor tooling layered over professional clinical processes governed by Quebec's Act 25, the Sexologist Code of Ethics, LPRPSP, and PIPEDA.

The business model is professional services billing on a pay-as-you-go per-session basis, with session durations of 50 minutes (individual) or 50-80 minutes (couple). Pricing is quote-based and disclosed at booking, with receipts issued for tax and insurance reimbursement. An additional revenue stream is group workshop fees ($690 per participant for 'Le défi du couple'). The go-to-market is primarily inbound via the website, blog content, SEO, newsletter, and professional referrals from OPSQ and partner organizations. The clinic maintains active research collaborations with UQAM (Natacha Godbout team), Université de Montréal, and previously Université de Sherbrooke and Université d'Ottawa, positioning it within Quebec's academic sexology ecosystem.
