Your questions, answered
What is sex therapy?
Sex therapy is a form of talk therapy that addresses sexual concerns like desire, arousal, pain, performance anxiety, and intimacy. Sessions focus on education, communication skills, and structured exercises you practice on your own or with a partner. There is no physical contact or nudity involved. If identity-based comfort matters for discussing sexuality, some people start by filtering for Female therapists therapists, then confirm sex-therapy training.
What is a sexologist?
A sexologist is a professional who specializes in human sexuality. In Quebec, sexology is a regulated profession with its own professional order (OPSQ), and sexologists can provide psychotherapy. In other provinces, the title is less regulated, so it is important to check credentials, training, and whether the provider is registered with a recognized professional body.
What does a sex therapist do?
A sex therapist helps you understand what is driving sexual difficulties, whether that is physical, psychological, relational, or a combination. Sessions typically involve talking through patterns, building communication tools with or without a partner, and assigning gradual exercises between visits. They may also coordinate with physicians when medical factors like hormones, medication side effects, or pain conditions are involved.
What concerns can sex therapy help with?
Common concerns include low desire, mismatched libido between partners, performance anxiety, erectile difficulties, premature ejaculation, sexual pain (vaginismus, dyspareunia), difficulty with orgasm, post-SSRI sexual side effects, body image, and navigating intimacy after trauma. For anxiety-driven performance concerns, Anxiety therapists support may also be relevant alongside sex therapy.
Can I talk about sex in therapy?
Yes, and you do not need to have it all figured out before your first session. Sex therapists are trained to discuss sexuality openly and without judgment. Many people feel awkward at first, and a good therapist will set a pace that feels manageable. You can start with whatever feels most comfortable and go from there.
Do I need to bring my partner to sex therapy?
No. Many people attend sex therapy individually, especially when the concern is personal (desire, pain, body image, past trauma). When relationship dynamics are central, involving a partner can help, and some therapists offer both individual and joint sessions. If couples work is the primary goal, couples therapists can help you find providers who specialize in working with both partners.
What is the difference between a sexologist and a sex therapist?
In practice, there is significant overlap. Sex therapists are typically psychologists, psychotherapists, or social workers with additional training in sexual health. Sexologists have specialized education in human sexuality and, in Quebec, are regulated professionals who can provide psychotherapy. Outside Quebec, check credentials carefully since the sexologist title is not regulated in most provinces.
Can sex therapy help with sex addiction or compulsive sexual behavior?
Yes. Sex therapists can help with compulsive sexual behavior, problematic pornography use, and patterns that feel out of control. Treatment typically involves understanding triggers, building healthier coping strategies, and addressing underlying distress or trauma. If trauma is a significant factor, trauma and PTSD therapists support may also be part of the plan.
