How to know if I need a Sex Therapist?

Sex is supposed to feel good—but what if it doesn’t? What if it feels stressful, confusing, or even painful? You might be wondering, Is this normal? Am I the only one struggling with this? Let’s get one thing straight: You’re not broken, and you’re not alone.

If sex feels more like a source of frustration than connection, a sex therapist can help. Here’s when it might be time to reach out:

  • You feel shame, guilt, or anxiety around sex, even when you want to enjoy it.

  • Your libido doesn’t match your partner’s, and it’s causing tension or miscommunication.

  • Performance anxiety, pain, or physical issues make intimacy difficult or unenjoyable.

  • Past trauma, religious shame, or cultural messages are affecting your sexual confidence.

  • You’re curious about exploring your sexuality but feel stuck, confused, or overwhelmed.

  • Conversations about sex with your partner feel awkward, avoidant, or lead to arguments.

At our clinic, all of our therapists are trained in sex therapy. We have specialized training in human sexuality, including Sexual Attitude Reassessment (SAR) courses and ongoing supervision in the field. This means we bring a depth of knowledge and a shame-free approach to help you navigate challenges in a way that truly supports your healing and growth.

Sex therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you unlearn shame, gain confidence, and create a sex life that actually feels good for you. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Curious?

Scheduling a consultation with a therapist is a simple, no-pressure way to explore if therapy is right for you.
