Meet Dr. Jenn Bossio
Dr. Jenn Bossio is a clinical and health psychologist, educator, and unapologetic advocate for better sex lives and stronger relationships. She is the founder and director of Tri Health Clinic, Ontario’s largest sex and couples therapy clinic. Through her work, Dr. Bossio helps people navigate the messy, beautiful, and sometimes awkward terrain of intimacy with empathy, humour, and evidence-based strategies that actually work.
As Adjunct Faculty at Queen’s University (Departments of Urology, Gynecology, and Psychology), Dr. Bossio trains the next generation of health professionals to talk about sex like grown-ups. She also supervises and mentors clinicians across Ontario in the art and science of sex therapy, building a new wave of well-trained, shame-free experts.
Her early research focused on improving sexual outcomes for men and their partners with erectile dysfunction and also sexual difficulties following prostate cancer treatment; work that earned her a postdoctoral fellowship and national recognition. These days, her work is as much about building systems and shaping the profession as it is about one-on-one therapy. She’s a vocal advocate for the future of psychology, pushing for higher standards, better training, and public recognition of the unique expertise psychologists bring to the table.
She’s also a multi-award-winning business owner (Kingston’s Top 40 Under 40, 2023; Business Person of the Year, 2025), a sought-after speaker, and a total sci-fi nerd. In fact, her wedding ring has logged more flight hours than most of us—having snuck aboard the International Space Station and orbited the earth for millions (that’s right, millions) of kilometers.
