Toronto Sex Therapy
You can expect to be treated with sensitivity and professionalism at Couples In Step. Sessions may include direct questions about your personal history, sexual feelings, and behavior in order to aid assessment. If you do not feel ready to talk about something, you may say so. Your wish will be respected.
I’ll help you to speak about difficult sexual issues even if they cause you shame or embarrassment. Along the way, you will receive reliable information about sexual functioning. Good information usually helps increase your comfort with your sexual feelings and performance. Outside reading and home exercises may also be assigned.
EFT and Sexuality. More coming soon
As a registered sex therapist with BESTCO (Board of Examiners in Sex Therapy and Counselling in Ontario) I am required to regularly update my skills and knowledge in sex therapy. My training and experience in sexuality has prepared me to recognize when and how you might benefit from consultation with a physician about sexual difficulties.
Sexual problems may also be associated with relationship issues that interfere with the desire to be intimate. Developing holistic sexual intimacy by strengthening the whole marital relationship is an important goal at Couples in Step.
SIECCAN (The Sex Information and Education Council of Canada) is a national registered charitable organization founded in 1964 to foster professional education and public knowledge about sexuality and sexual health. SIECCAN works with health professionals, educators, and community organizations to ensure that all Canadians have access to high quality sexual health information, education and related health and social services.
