Individual Sex Therapy
What is sex therapy?
Sex therapy is a specialized form of therapy focused on addressing concerns related to sexual function, intimacy, and satisfaction. At this practice, we embrace a sex-positive philosophy that celebrates the diverse expressions of human sexuality, including the valid decision to not engage sexually (and not to be pathologized for it). We acknowledge that there exists a broad spectrum of healthy sexual practices, desires, and identities. Our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore, learn, and connect with resources that support their sexual journey. (add: sex therapy is often related to issues in other parts of life. We have to back up, slow down, and start somewhere else)
Who needs sex therapy?
Individual sex therapy may be right for you if you need support in any of these areas:
Sexual pain
Distressingly low sexual desire
Distressingly high sexual desire
Sexual confidence
Healing from sexual trauma
Feeling shame about sexuality
Reclaiming sexuality after trauma (sexual, religious, medical, and more)
Exploring sexuality and gender identity
Making decisions about how or if to have sex (at all, or engage in a certain type of sex)
What to expect in a sex therapy session
Some people might feel anxious about talking about sex in therapy. We understand that everyone's journey is unique, and we are committed to providing sex therapy at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive for you. Before delving into any discussions related to sexuality, we always seek your explicit consent. Your autonomy and boundaries are of utmost importance to us, and we want you to feel safe and empowered throughout our sessions. You have the right to set the pace and direction of our conversations, and we will always respect your choices and preferences regarding what you are comfortable discussing.
Some topics we will explore are:
Experiences with sex education
Sexual background and experiences
Sexual health and functioning
Beliefs and ideas about sex (and where they come from)
Specific challenges with sex
