Registered Psychologist · Victoria, BC
For the problems most
therapists aren't
trained to treat.
Tami-Lee Duncan, M.Ed., RPsych — sex therapy, couples therapy, trauma, and pelvic pain. In person in Victoria, BC and virtually across BC and Alberta.
About Tami-Lee
A registered psychologist who
actually specializes in this.
I'm Tami-Lee Duncan, a registered psychologist with 15+ years of experience working with individuals and couples on sexual health, relationships, trauma, and the kinds of problems that don't have easy answers. My work is grounded in neuroscience, built on evidence, and tailored to the person in front of me.
Sexual health and couples therapy are still significant gaps in most clinical training. I've spent my career building real depth in these areas — through direct clinical work, medical education, and personal research. That specialization is what sets my practice apart.
I also work with people navigating anxiety, life transitions, fertility challenges, and perinatal mental health. Whatever brings you in, the approach is the same — honest, grounded, and focused on what actually helps.
Now based in Victoria, BC and accepting new clients.

Why It Matters
What you actually get when you work with a specialist.
Most therapists have broad training. Few have spent 15+ years building real depth in sexual health, trauma, and the neuroscience of change. Here is what that specialization means in practice.
Expertise you won't find everywhere
Sexual health is still a significant gap in most clinical training programs. I've spent 15 years building real depth in an area that most psychologists touched briefly in grad school. When you're dealing with something this personal and this underserved, that difference matters.
A neurobiological lens that changes what's possible
Understanding that your nervous system was shaped by experience, and that it can be reshaped, isn't just reassuring. It reframes what therapy is for and what you can realistically expect from it. Insight leads to agency. Agency leads to change.
Honest and direct, without the performance
I bring a lot of myself to this work. You'll get a clinician who tells you what they actually think, challenges you when it's useful, and doesn't deliver feedback wrapped in so much softening that you can't find it. I'm warm. I'm also pretty direct. Both things are true.
You leave more capable, not more dependent
My goal is to give you insight, tools, and a framework that you carry with you. Good therapy should eventually make itself unnecessary. That's what I'm working toward from the first session.
Common Questions
Before you reach out.
A few quick answers.
What's the difference between a psychologist and a counsellor?
+
Registered Psychologists complete more advanced graduate training, thousands of supervised clinical hours, and professional examinations before registration. The result is greater depth — particularly for complex or specialist concerns. Many people choose a psychologist simply because they want the most rigorous clinical foundation available.
What does a session cost?
+
Sessions are $235 for 50 minutes — below the BCPA recommended range of $240–$250. Most extended health plans cover Registered Psychologist services. You'll receive a detailed receipt for direct reimbursement from your insurer.
Does my insurance cover sessions?
+
Most extended health plans cover Registered Psychologist services, though coverage amounts vary by plan. If you're unsure about your coverage, it's worth calling your provider before your first session to confirm.
Do you offer a free consultation?
+
I don't offer a free introductory call — not because I want to create a barrier, but because 15 minutes isn't enough time to meaningfully assess fit or determine whether I can help. What I offer instead is a full refund after the first session if you decide not to book a follow-up. You can come in, experience the work, ask every question you have, and leave without financial risk if it isn't the right fit.
About This Practice
Two practices.
One approach.
Transcend Wellness is my Victoria practice — where I see clients directly, in person and virtually across BC. It grows out of Transcend Psychological Services, the Edmonton clinic I founded in 2012. The depth of training and the quality of care are the same in both places. Victoria is where I am building something new, and I am glad to be here.

Not ready for therapy?
Start here.
I built this workshop because the information women need about sexual pain shouldn't only be available to people who can access and afford therapy. It covers the five conversations I have most often with clients — self-paced, practical, and based on 15 years of clinical work.
It's not a replacement for individual therapy. But if you eventually work with a therapist, you'll arrive with a lot more insight and a lot less ground to cover.
