Understanding Sex Therapy

A professional space to talk about sexual health.

Sex therapy is a unique and specialized type of professional counseling that focuses on helping people address concerns related to sex, intimacy and sexual functioning.

People may seek professional guidance for many different reasons, including difficulties with desire, arousal, orgasm, pain during intercourse, erection difficulties, ejaculation concerns, relationship challenges or feelings of anxiety and inhibition around sex.

A consultation can help you understand the factors contributing to your concern and identify appropriate strategies or treatment options for your individual situation.

Your sexual health concerns deserve to be discussed with professionalism, privacy and respect.
Areas We Discuss

Sexual concerns can take many forms.

Sex therapy may be useful when sexual or relationship concerns are affecting confidence, intimacy, emotional wellbeing or quality of life.

Sexual Anxiety & Inhibition

What To Expect

Therapy begins with understanding.

A professional consultation provides an opportunity to discuss your concerns openly. The focus is on understanding your sexual functioning, feelings, relationships and any physical or emotional factors that may be contributing to the problem.

01

Talk About Your Concerns

Your symptoms, experiences and concerns are discussed in a respectful and confidential environment.

02

Understand Possible Factors

Physical, psychological, emotional and relationship factors may all be considered where appropriate.

03

Personalized Guidance

Depending on your needs, professional guidance, exercises, counseling or medical treatment may be recommended.

04

Work Toward Better Sexual Wellbeing

The goal is to help you develop a healthier and more comfortable relationship with your sexuality and intimacy.

A Common Concern

Sexual activity is never part of therapy.

Sex therapy is professional counseling. Sexual activity does not take place during an actual therapy session. A therapist may provide education about anatomy, sexual response, healthy sexual functioning and communication, and may suggest appropriate exercises to be practiced privately at home.

Professional boundaries, privacy and patient safety come first.
Low Libido

Understanding low sexual desire.

A reduced interest in sex can have many possible contributors. Understanding the underlying factors is an important part of addressing the concern.

Unrealistic expectations about sex, relationships or romance.
Difficulty relaxing or feeling comfortable during intimacy.
Stress caused by overloaded schedules and lack of time.
Relationship conflicts or communication difficulties.
Emotional disconnection from a partner.
Anxiety, depression or emotional distress.
Unfulfilling sexual experiences or sexual difficulties.
Shame or negative beliefs surrounding sexuality.
Previous sexual trauma or difficult experiences.
Parenting, childcare and associated exhaustion.
Physical illness or hormonal factors.
Certain medications may affect sexual desire.
