Sex and sexuality therapy in Ottawa
Sex and sexuality are a big part of how we feel about ourselves and connect with others, yet they can be hard to talk about. Our therapists offer a safe, respectful and non-judgmental space to explore questions and concerns, on your own or with a partner.
What we can help with
Intimacy and connection in a relationship
Differences in desire between partners
Sexual concerns that cause stress or distance
Rebuilding intimacy after a breach of trust, illness, a new baby or a difficult life event
Questions about sexual orientation or gender identity
The impact of family, culture, religion or past experiences on how you feel about sex
How therapy can help
Therapy helps you understand your own thoughts, feelings and needs around sex and sexuality, and how family, society and culture have shaped them. For couples, it opens up conversations that may feel too hard to have alone. The goal is greater self-understanding and healthier, more fulfilling relationships and sexual experiences.
We're 2SLGBTQIA+ allied and welcome people of all identities and relationship types.
