Toronto Sex Therapy
Therapy for Sex & Identity
Explore sexuality, identity, and intimacy in a space that feels safe, affirming, and pressure-free.
You might relate if…
You’ve always struggled to feel fully yourself in intimate spaces – emotionally, sexually, or otherwise.
You might be here because:
- You feel disconnected from desire or sexuality
- You’re exploring your gender, orientation, or relational values
- You’ve experienced shame, trauma, or confusion around sex or identity
- You feel pressure to perform, please, or suppress parts of yourself
- You want to feel more confident, curious, or free in your body and identity
What therapy with me feels like
This isn’t sex therapy as you’ve seen it before. It’s not about performance – it’s about presence. We’ll move at a pace that centers your body, your boundaries, and your sense of safety.
In our work together, you can expect:
- A space free from shame, assumptions, or scripts
- Exploration of sexuality and identity in ways that feel empowering
- Gentle integration of past experiences that impacted your relationship to intimacy
- Somatic and relational tools to explore safety, desire, and self-expression
- Full permission to not have it all figured out

Still unsure?
This is what makes Existence different.
This work isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level talking. It moves more slowly, with attention to what’s happening underneath patterns that may have been building for a long time.
Here are a few things that set this work apart:
Frequently Asked Questions
Is sex therapy available virtually or in-person?

What can I expect from online sex therapy?

How do I get started with online sex therapy?

How long will therapy last?
The frequency of your appointments will be discussed and determined during your initial therapy sessions, based on your unique needs. Typically, after six to eight sessions, you and your therapist will review your progress. Treatment goals will be assessed periodically and adjusted as necessary. It’s important to remember that you have full control over the therapy process. You are always free to discontinue treatment at any time, regardless of your therapist’s perspective. However, we encourage you to have a conversation with your therapist before making the decision to end therapy. Keep in mind, each therapy experience is individual, and outcomes can vary from person to person.
What will happen in the first session?
The first session, or “consultation,” is all about getting to know you and understanding what you’re going through. We’ll take the time to talk about your personal challenges and your situation, so we can create a treatment plan that feels right for you. You’ll be asked some questions, and we’ll explore different aspects of your concerns together. Sometimes, this may include psychological assessments or reaching out to others, like your doctor or family (but only with your permission). Once we have a clear picture, your therapist will share some treatment options with you, and together, you’ll decide on a plan that feels comfortable and helpful for you.
Are Psychological Services Covered by OHIP?
Psychotherapy services are not covered by OHIP. However, many extended health insurance plans provide partial coverage for psychotherapy services. The coverage details, including reimbursement rates, may vary depending on your insurer and plan. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to confirm your coverage details and claim process. Payment for services is due at the end of each session. A detailed receipt will be provided, which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement or use for tax purposes.
