Women & Individuals with Vaginas
We know that women and people with vaginas have a complicated relationship with sex and sexuality due to societal messages and sex-negative stigma. When issues like sexual pain, low sexual desire, or even difficulties with sexual communication and confidence show up in your relationship, it can feel isolating and like there is no way out. We believe that you deserve to experience a fulfilling and pleasurable sex life.
Common Issues:
- Painful intercourse, including vaginismus and dyspareunia
- Difficulty or inability to orgasm
- Low sexual desire or “drive”
- Low sexual self-esteem & confidence
- Pre-/peri-/postnatal mood & anxiety
- Intimacy after sexual trauma
Men & Individuals With Penises
Men and folk with penises have been taught that their sexual abilities are directly tied to their masculinity. When issues arise, you may be left feeling like you are broken or not enough of a man. Sex therapy can help provide tools to work through physical issues while addressing emotional blocks along the way to get you back to feeling like your sexually confident self.
Common Issues:
- Erectile dysfunction
- Rapid or delayed ejaculation
- Performance anxiety or low sexual self-esteem
- Low sexual desire or "drive"
Other Concerns
There’s more to sex therapy than sexual functioning issues—sex therapists are trained to help support all areas of sexuality. This can include questioning or having discussions with your partner about your gender identity, sexuality, relationship dynamic or structure, or experiencing your sexuality as out of control or getting in the way of living your life, we’re here to help.
Common Issues:
- LGBTQ2S+ Concerns
- Ethical non-monogamy and polyamory, including opening up your relationship
- BDSM, kink, and fetishes
- Paraphilias, including exhibitionism, voyeurism, or pedophilia
- Out of Control Sexual Behaviour (i.e., compulsive porn use or masturbation, sex "addiction", hypersexuality)
- Differences in desire
