About sex therapy
Sex therapy is a type of non-touch psychotherapy that focuses on challenges with sex and sexuality. Despite the fact that sex is a normal and integral component of health and mental health, most counselling training programs provide brief and inadequate training in this area. I have supplemented my clinical training with two intensive, post-graduate programs in sex therapy. These are two of only a handful of accredited training programs in sex therapy in North America.
In my clinical practice I can address a range of concerns that might otherwise go unaddressed in psychotherapy, such as:
arousal and desire concerns,
desire discrepancies within a couple,
mixed orientation relationships,
difficulties with climax,
emerging sexual identities,
development of intimacy,
open relationships,
infidelity,
diversity of sexual expression (BDSM, tantra, etc)
cybersexuality,
sexual trauma and rape,
pedophilia and minor attraction,
problematic sexual behaviours and sexual compulsion.
Although some couples seek out a sex therapist to work on sexual enhancement, more typically my clients are feeling really stuck and have reached the limit of their own internal resources and external supports. My goal is for you to have a safe, professional atmosphere in which to openly and non-judgmentally explore what's concerning you.
