Question 1

Is sex therapy a form of talk therapy?

Accepted Answer

It is a fair thing to want to know before you book. Sex therapy is talk therapy, held online or in an office, and a therapist can tell you how they structure sessions and what, if anything, they suggest between them. On Alma, filter therapists in Ontario who help with intimacy and sexual health by format and ask your questions when you reach out.

Question 2

What if I feel embarrassed talking about sex?

Accepted Answer

Feeling embarrassed is understandable, and you can say so out loud in the first session. A therapist can let you set the pace and start with whatever feels easiest to talk about. On Alma, browse therapists in Ontario who help with intimacy and sexual health and choose someone whose profile puts you at ease.

Question 3

Can my partner and I see a sex therapist together?

Accepted Answer

Coming together can feel like a big step for both of you. Some therapists see couples, and you can ask how they run joint sessions and whether they also meet with each partner alone. On Alma, profiles of sex therapists in Ontario show who each one sees, so you can filter for couples work.

Question 4

Will my therapist coordinate with my doctor?

Accepted Answer

If you already see a doctor, it makes sense to want everyone on the same page. With your consent, a therapist can coordinate with your doctor, so ask how they handle it and what they would share. On Alma, read profiles of sex therapists in Ontario and look for who mentions working with medical providers.

Question 5

Is my concern something a sex therapist can help with?

Accepted Answer

Worrying that your concern is too small or too unusual can keep you from asking.

On Alma, compare sex therapists in Ontario and start with the ones who list it.

Question 9

How many sessions with a sex therapist will I need?

Accepted Answer

If you are weighing therapy against everything else on your plate, a rough sense of the commitment helps.

Question 10

What if the first therapist is not the right fit?

Accepted Answer
