At Vaughan Relationship Centre, we help couples and individuals reconnect through compassionate, evidence-based sex therapy. Whether you’re struggling with desire, communication, or trust, you’re not alone and there is a path forward.
Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that helps individuals and couples address emotional, psychological, or relational issues that impact sexual satisfaction and connection. Common concerns include:
At Vaughan Relationship Centre, our sex therapists provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore these challenges either together or in individual sessions.
Does this sound like you?
If any of these resonate with you, sex therapy can help.
We understand that sex is about more than just physical intimacy—it’s about emotional connection, psychological safety, and open communication. Our therapists are:
We work with couples in long-term partnerships, individuals navigating anxiety or shame around sex, and people ready to reclaim joy in their intimate lives.
Sex therapy is available online or in-person. Whether you’re looking for short-term guidance or long-term support, we offer compassionate care grounded in evidence-based practices.
Is sex therapy only for couples?
Not at all. Many individuals seek sex therapy to work through anxiety, trauma, shame, low desire, or body image concerns. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, you deserve support around your sexual wellbeing.
What does a sex therapy session look like?
Sessions are talk-based and focused on emotional and relational dynamics—there is no physical touch or demonstration. You’ll meet with a trained therapist to explore concerns, communication patterns, and emotional triggers in a safe, non-judgmental space.
Can sex therapy help if one partner has a higher or lower sex drive?
Yes. Mismatched desire is one of the most common concerns we support. Together, we’ll explore the reasons behind the difference and help you find ways to reconnect emotionally and physically—without pressure or blame.
Is it okay if we’re uncomfortable talking about sex?
Absolutely. Most people feel nervous at first. Our therapists are trained to create a comfortable, respectful environment. We move at your pace and prioritize safety, consent, and emotional readiness in every conversation.
Do you offer online sex therapy?
Yes. We offer relationship counselling online across Ontario. Many clients find virtual sessions convenient and just as effective, especially when discussing sensitive topics in the comfort of their own home.
Can sex therapy help after infidelity or betrayal?
Yes. Trust and intimacy are deeply connected. If your relationship has been impacted by betrayal, sex therapy can support both healing and reconnection—while helping you decide what recovery looks like for your unique situation.
Will insurance cover sex therapy?
It may. Coverage depends on your benefits plan and the credentials of your therapist (e.g., Registered Social Worker, Registered Psychotherapist, or Registered Marriage and Family Therapist). Contact us and we’ll help match you with someone whose credentials align with your coverage.
Is sex therapy the same as couples therapy?
They overlap, but they’re not the same. Couples therapy may focus on conflict resolution, communication, or family dynamics, while sex therapy specifically addresses issues related to desire, satisfaction, and physical/emotional intimacy. Many clients benefit from a blend of both.
