Sexologist

What is a sexologist?

A sexologist is a healthcare professional specializing in human sexuality, helping relationships and restoring sexual health.

It addresses relational and sexual issues, offering counseling, education and support. His goal is to help his clients improve their sexual balance and emotional and affective well-being. He may have studied in a mental health field, such as psychology, social work, psycho-education or medicine, with a subsequent specialization in sexology. He uses a variety of approaches, including sex therapy, couple therapy, behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy and sexology.

It is important to note that Quebec sexologists must have a bachelor's degree in sexology or a master's degree in sexology and are subject to the code of ethics of theOrdre professionnel des sexologues du Québec which guarantees that they have the skills and qualifications needed to practice sexology in a professional and ethical manner. As sexologists, they must also maintain high standards of training to ensure they remain up to date with the latest developments in sexual health.

Why consult a sexologist?

There are many reasons why you should seek help. A sexologist can help you better understand your sexuality, and can also guide you in achieving sexual fulfillment. For example, if you're wondering about your sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, a professional can help you explore these issues at your own pace.

If you're experiencing sexual problems such as lubrication, pain, erection problems with men, premature or delayed ejaculation, or difficulty reaching orgasm, you can request an individual or couple consultation, depending on your needs.

You can also consult a sexologist if you're experiencing difficulties in your interpersonal relationships, including problems of communication, trust or intimacy. The specialist can help you understand the dynamics at play and find ways to regain a balance that's right for you. Some patients book appointments to improve their interpersonal relationships, explore new aspects of their sexuality and discover new practices.

Finally, you can also make an appointment with a sexologist to ensure the maintenance or restoration of your sexual well-being, for educational and preventive purposes, or if you have concerns about sexually transmitted diseases.
