Therapy for Sex and Intimacy

Feel Seen, Heard, and Desired.

Support for Sex, Intimacy, and Relationships

We thrive when we feel safe, seen, and connected — emotionally, physically, and sexually.

Sex and intimacy therapy offers a space to explore your desires, heal past wounds, and reconnect — with your body, your pleasure, and your partner(s).

You deserve intimacy that feels authentic, connected, and empowering — with yourself and others. Let’s begin.

Let's Talk About Sex – Honestly

What Happens in Sex & Intimacy Therapy?

We begin with understanding: your story, your values, your goals. Together, we work to identify what’s getting in the way of intimacy — emotionally, physically, or relationally — and build tools to move toward connection, confidence, and pleasure.

Our work might include:

  • Exploring communication styles and emotional safety

  • Unpacking sexual narratives, shame, or trauma

  • Building comfort with your body and sensations

  • Creating a shared language around needs and desires

  • Supporting self-discovery, empowerment, and playfulness

This is a space where vulnerability is welcome, curiosity is encouraged, and there’s no such thing as a “weird” question.

Some signs that Sex Therapy and Intimacy Support is for you:

  • Low or Mismatched Desire

  • Difficulty Communicating About Sex

  • Sexual Pain or Discomfort

  • Rebuilding Intimacy After Betrayal or Conflict

  • Body Image or Self-Esteem Challenges

  • Healing from Sexual Trauma or Abuse

  • Exploring Sexual Identity or Orientation

  • Reigniting Passion in Long-Term Relationships

  • Support for Kink, Non-Monogamy, or Queer Relationships

  • Desire for a More Fulfilling Sexual Life

Sex Therapy at The Therapeutic Way

We offer sex therapy for individuals and couples. Sex therapy isn’t just for people in crisis — it’s for anyone who wants to feel more connected, empowered, and fulfilled in their sexual or intimate life.

Our approach is integrative and client-centered — which means your story, values, and comfort guide the process. We use different types of counselling techniques such as Gottman Method for Couples Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Parts Work from Internal Family System, Somatic Therapy, and more.

Each session is tailored to you — whether you’re seeking clarity around your sexuality, struggling to feel pleasure, or wanting to create a more vibrant connection with your partner.

You Deserve Intimacy That Feels Good — Inside and Out

Intimacy doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful. Sex doesn’t have to be performative to be pleasurable. And relationships — including the one with yourself — can grow stronger with care, honesty, and support.

If you're ready to explore what’s possible for your sexual and emotional wellbeing, We are here to help.
