Sex Therapy for Couples and Individuals
Sex therapy can help improve your sexual well-being and achieve a happier and more fulfilling sex life.
What is Sex Therapy?
In sex therapy, we focus on addressing sexual concerns and improving your overall sexual wellbeing. By working together we can help reduce sexual frustration, improve communication around sex and intimacy with your partner, and work towards a better relationship with your sexual self.
Sex is an integral part of the human experience - but we rarely talk about it. Whether it’s due to cultural stigma, implicit or explicit messages about “appropriate” sexual expression, or a history of sexual trauma, our natural sexual expression can often get muddied. Sex therapy can help individuals and couples of all genders and orientations improve their physical and emotional connection to their sexuality. By exploring this in a safe therapeutic space, we can heal old trauma, transform unhelpful internalized narratives and create space for a satisfying sexual experiences.
