Frequently Asked Questions About Sex Therapy
What is sex therapy and what does it involve?
Sex therapy is a specialized form of talk therapy focused on sexual concerns, difficulties, and relationships. Sessions are conversational — there is no physical contact or sexual activity involved. A sex therapist helps individuals and couples understand the physical, psychological, and relational factors affecting their sexual wellbeing, and develops practical strategies to address specific concerns.
What issues does sex therapy address?
Sex therapists work with a wide range of concerns including low sexual desire, arousal difficulties, pain during sex (vaginismus, dyspareunia), erectile dysfunction, premature or delayed ejaculation, sexual trauma and shame, mismatched desire between partners, questions about sexual identity, and the impact of illness, medication, or life transitions on sexuality. Both individuals and couples are welcome.
Is sex therapy different from couples counselling?
Sex therapy has a specific focus on sexual and intimacy concerns, whereas couples counselling addresses the broader relationship. The two often overlap — sexual difficulties can stem from or contribute to relationship problems — and many therapists trained in sex therapy also practise general couples work. If both sexual and relationship issues are present, a therapist with training in both areas is often the best fit.
Do both partners need to attend sex therapy?
Not necessarily. Many people attend sex therapy individually to address personal concerns, past trauma, or sexual identity questions. Couples often attend together when the issue involves both partners or affects the relationship dynamic. Some therapists work with one partner individually first and invite the other to join later. Your therapist will discuss the most effective format for your specific situation.
Is sex therapy covered by insurance in Canada?
Coverage depends on your province and insurance plan. Many extended health benefits cover psychotherapy regardless of the presenting concern, which would include sex therapy when provided by a registered therapist, psychologist, or social worker. Some plans specify which designations are covered. It is worth checking your plan details or contacting your insurer directly — and asking your therapist about their professional designation when inquiring about coverage.
