Sex therapy is a type of psychotherapy that helps individuals who are dealing with sexual challenges or want to improve their relationships. It is particularly helpful for those who struggle with a lack of arousal, painful intercourse, or other sexual dysfunctions. Sex therapy is talk therapy designed to help individuals and couples achieve sexual satisfaction by exploring physical, psychological, and emotional factors contributing to sexual challenges.
The goal of a sex therapist is to help the person or couple address these issues in order to experience a more fulfilling sex life. Sex therapy does not require the participation of both partners – some may benefit from individual sessions, while others may find couples therapy more helpful.
*Please note that sex therapy does not involve sexual contact with clients.

Although sex therapy resembles talk therapy, it often includes other therapeutic modalities.
If your sexual concerns are related to a medical issue, your sex therapist may recommend that you also work with a physician to manage any health issues and necessary medication.
Sex is not always at the core of the relationship and marital issues, but often it can be a unique challenge that can be detrimental to your relationship.
If you are committed to improving your relationship and intimacy, we can improve your relationship and help you overcome sexual hurdles.
By combining sex therapy with our marriage and relationship counseling, we can help inspire you and your partner to improve your sex life and strengthen your connection.
Sex therapy is a specialized way of treating sexual concerns from a psychological perspective.
Here are some common reasons to come to therapy for intimacy and sexual issues:
Individuals who experience sexual dysfunction can benefit from working with a sex therapist in Edmonton.
While sexual dysfunction is an umbrella term to describe a multitude of sexual difficulties, some common ones include:
Sexual dysfunction can cause low confidence, sexual performance anxiety, a lack of interest in sex, painful intercourse, and the inability to become aroused or reach orgasm.
Sex therapy can help individuals overcome these challenges to enjoy a healthy and fulfilling sex life!
Sexual trauma can also interfere with a person’s ability to enjoy intimacy and sex.
By combining sex-positive techniques with trauma-based therapy, sex therapy can be effective in helping individuals work through their trauma-related sexual dysfunction.
However, those with a history of sexual trauma may initially need individual therapy to work through their struggles and issues before they are ready to explore their sexual needs.
Sex therapy is not reserved only for those with sexual dysfunction.
Here are some other common reasons that individuals seek the help of a sex therapist:
