Sex Therapy for Couples
Getting help with Sex Therapy in Calgary
You feel like roommates not lovers
You wonder if sex therapy is what you need. Your relationship is strong. You love each other and you are best friends. You are great parents. On the surface you are a perfect couple, but you are struggling in the bedroom. Sex is not great, if not non-existent. You feel like roommates, not lovers and you want to find hope that you can reconnect and be intimate again.
One of you is exhausted, tired and has no desire. You long to be back to the time when things were spontaneous and easy. You can’t stand to disappoint your partner, to see the hurt in their eyes when they ask to have sex and so you say yes just to please them but it isn't at all fulfilling for you.
The other of you longs for intimacy, desire, freedom to give and receive pleasure. It's the best feeling in the world to be with your partner because to you, it's so much more than sex. It's how you connect and show love. It's how you play and explore. You want to feel desired but you’ve been rejected so many times, you stopped asking.
You don’t have to be disconnected in intimacy.
You both have been trying. It's stressful and exhausting. You are pretty clear that things are not getting better, and you can’t remember the last time sex was fun.
You used to cuddle, kiss and hold hands, but you don’t anymore and you miss it. It has left you feeling like a failure. Disconnected. Powerless. You don’t know how to talk about it, and when you try, it turns into a fight or disappointment.
You want to feel held, loved, touched. You want your body to respond. You want to feel wanted, adored, desired. Sometimes you are not sure if you can anymore (yes, you can!) ​
You want the spark back, you want the ease, you want to have FUN again. You want to be able to talk about it.
You want more. You know it’s possible. You just don’t know where to start.
Sex Therapy Can Help
My name is Rovena Magidin, I am a sex therapist and couples counsellor, and working with intimacy and sexuality is my passion. I help couples create relationships and intimacy that’s deeply fulfilling for them.
For over 15 years I have trained in the field of sexuality from both Eastern and Western perspective. We might be using tools from neuroscience perspective, or we might be talking about Tantra. It’s whatever works for You. You will feel safe, and comfortable and you will feel supported.

What is sex therapy like with me?
One of the first things people comment on about the sessions - how comfortable they feel when talking about such vulnerable issues as sex. How much information they get, how practical it is, and how confident they are that they can apply the skills they are learning. Talking about sex doesn’t have to be awkward, it can actually be …. Fun.
I see couples who haven’t had sex for years flirting and laughing and exploring new things in the bedroom. I see people excited to talk about intimacy and to learn more about their partner. I have people tell me “We are so lucky we’ve got you. I thought there’s something wrong me, but there isn’t anything wrong. I feel so much lighter.” Or “We got to connect on a level I was afraid had disappeared. It came back loud and clear last night. I'm so grateful. Thanks again.”

Inclusivity and Safety
I strive to be a radically inclusive therapist, meaning I work with adults (18+) - all adults. I work with people of all genders and sexual orientations, I work with people from different cultures and races and faiths. I am LGBTQA-friendly and celebrating, kink-affirming and educated, polyamory-friendly and affirmative. Can we just say that I am friendly and affirming? Because I am. I want to create a very safe space for you to show up as you are. To explore your identity, lifestyle, needs and desires. To figure out what works for your relationships. I want you to feel seen, as you are.
