Great Sex. For Real Life.
“I want to feel closer to my partner”
“I want to feel more confident in the bedroom”
“I want to last longer”
“I want sex to be fun again”
“I want to want sex”
If any of these sound familiar, then sex therapy might be right for you.
WHAT IS SEX THERAPY, EXACTLY?
Sex therapy is a form of talk-based therapy that focuses on improving parts of your sex that may be lacking. The goal is to make changes that last long after therapy ends. What some people might not know about sex therapy is that it can actually look quite similar to other forms of therapy; the difference is that we are focusing on sexual health and intimacy.
Thanks to recent advances in sexual health research, we now know that a medical-only approach to treat sexual problems simply doesn’t work for most people. The “little blue pill” isn’t a magic cure-all for most men, and there is no “little pink pill” for women!

These Are The Top 3 treatments used to treat sexual problems:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) For Sex Therapy
CBT teaches us that our experience in the bedroom is more closely related to the stuff our mind is telling us about the situation, rather than the situation itself.
By learning to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, we can improve mood, lower stress, strengthen a sexual response, and make sex more enjoyable again!
CBT is what we call a “change-based” approach to therapy, and it is one of the most effective therapies out there.
Mindfulness For Sex Therapy
Mindfulness refers to a state of being fully present in the moment, and doing so without judgment. By learning to observe our experiences in the bedroom without getting caught up in our thoughts or reactions, we become less overwhelmed, happier, and sex gets even better!
Mindfulness is what we call an “acceptance-based” approach to therapy, and is one of the fastest growing effective therapies we have for sexual health.
Sex Therapy
There are a number of tips, tricks, and tools in sex therapy to improve our sex lives. These tools can help people last longer, reach orgasm, and enjoy sex more. Some techniques target behaviour (e.g., practicing new ways of being intimate either alone or with a partner), while some techniques focus more on how we think about sex (e.g., making sex less of a ‘performance sport’ and more of an ‘enjoyment activity’).
Sex therapy has been around for a long time and continues to gain momentum.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM SEX THERAPY AT THE TRI HEALTH CLINIC?
As a clinical-scientist, we stay on top of advances in the field of sexual health to be able to offer the most cutting-edge proven treatments, and to personalize them to fit your unique needs.
Sex therapy can look different from person to person, based on their needs, their histories, and their goals.
Our Sex Therapy Treatments are Based on 4 Major Principles:
Effective sex therapy goes beyond surface-level advice. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based methods that help you understand your own body and patterns, and help you have better, more enjoyable sex.
Education
Let’s face it; sex ed isn’t great. We all have beliefs about sex; unfortunately, many of these beliefs are “sex myths” not “sex facts”. False information about sex can be quite damaging. Your therapist will work with you to identify and correct sex myths. Better beliefs about sex help us achieve more enjoyable sex.
Self Knowledge
It’s important to understand that there are many factors that have led you to where you are today; the good, the bad, and the ugly. Sexual difficulties don’t “just happen”. You can’t change what you don’t understand, so self-knowledge is an important part of change. We also put special focus on the strengths you bring to the table.
Changing Behaviours
Therapy is an active process; change doesn’t happen by sitting in a therapist’s office once a week (although it would be nice if that were the case!). In therapy, we will strengthen the skills you already have, build new skills you may be missing, and let go of behaviours that may no longer be working
Tracking Change
Change doesn’t happen overnight, but constantly checking in to see “Am I better yet?!” can actually do more harm than good. Using questionnaires, your therapist will track your progress so you don’t have to. You and your therapist will work together to ensure you stay on track to meet your goals for therapy
