Sexual wellness is an essential part of our overall well-being, yet it often goes undiscussed or misunderstood. At Wholesome Psychology, we understand how personal and sensitive these conversations can be. Our sex therapists in Edmonton and St. Albert provide a compassionate, safe, and supportive environment for individuals and couples to explore challenges, rediscover intimacy, and build fulfilling sexual relationships. Whether you're facing physical difficulties, emotional concerns, or simply want to deepen your connection, our therapists are here to help you navigate your unique journey.

What Is Sex Therapy?

Sex therapy is a specialized form of talk therapy that focuses on sexual health, function, identity, and intimacy. It’s designed for individuals and couples of all orientations and identities, regardless of relationship status. At Wholesome Psychology, our approach is trauma-informed, LGBTQIA2S+ affirming, and grounded in evidence-based practices. Sessions typically involve open discussions about sexual experiences, thoughts, and feelings—free from judgment and with full confidentiality.

We do not provide physical touch or engage in sexual activity of any kind. Instead, we empower you with psychological tools, body awareness strategies, and communication techniques tailored to your goals and comfort level.

How Our Sex Therapists in Edmonton and St. Albert Can Support You

You may be wondering if sex therapy is right for you. The reality is that many people seek support for concerns that are more common than you might think. Working with a qualified therapist can lead to clarity, relief, and a greater sense of agency over your sexual well-being.

Sex Therapy Can Help With:

• Low libido or loss of desire
• Difficulty becoming aroused
• Challenges reaching orgasm
• Painful intercourse or pelvic pain
• Erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation
• Discomfort with body image or sexual identity
• Intimacy avoidance or disconnection in relationships

We understand that sexual health intersects with mental health, culture, identity, and past experiences. Our therapists collaborate with you to understand your story and develop a treatment plan that respects your values, beliefs, and desires.

What to Expect During Sex Therapy

Your first session is about connection, comfort, and clarity. We begin by understanding your concerns, expectations, and goals. From there, we collaboratively create a therapeutic plan that fits your pace and preferences. Sessions may involve discussion, psychoeducation, exercises, or reflection—always with consent and your emotional safety as the top priority.

We welcome individuals, couples, and people in polyamorous or non-traditional relationships. Therapy is tailored to who you are and what you need.
