A Sex-Positive Approach

 

Sexuality is often seen as a taboo topic which can make it challenging for you to share your sexual experiences. To help put your mind at ease, our therapists take an empathic, evidence-based approach to Sex Therapy and sexual education. We aim to create a space where you feel empowered to explore, challenge, and redefine what sexuality means to you in your life. It’s time to move away from the shame, blame, and guilt surrounding sexuality and move towards empowerment, pleasure, and pride.

Candor is committed to providing sexual therapies that are inclusive, informed, and unbiased.
