Couples Counsellor and Sex Therapist Vancouver
Welcome to TAC (The Art of Connection) — the couples counselling and sex therapy clinic for men and women who want to live an inspired life! Dr.PetraZebroff has been a sex therapist in Vancouver for more than 15 years. 
I have worked as a clinical sexologist, author, counsellor and researcher for the last 23 years. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel more confident in who you are, to help you find full and satisfying relationships (both sexual and non-sexual), greater energy and an overall feeling of well-being.
Modern life is fast, with 30% fewer friends than just a few decades ago. Most of us are feeling overwhelmed and alone. The rates of loneliness and depression have increased dramatically. Regardless of whether you are single or in a relationship, my primary focus is to support you as you build confidence and connection with others.
As a registered Master Practitioner Clinical Counsellor (MPCC) and board certified clinical sexologist (American College of Sexologists), it has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to counsel thousands of women and couples through the company I founded in 1999, Libida, a women’s sexual magazine and store for women’s health.

Dr. Zebroff’s Therapy Approach:
I focus on the potential of every client and identify each person’s individual assets while working with your individual strengths, rather than on “solving problems.” My approach to sex therapy and couples counselling includes a mixture of practices molded into an customized plan designed to address the unique needs and preferences of each client — humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, narrative, DBT, psychotherapy, desensitization, PLISSIT etc.
- Holistic and Non-judgmental Approach: I strive to treat the whole person, in an inclusive, sex-positive and encouraging environment.
- Educational Focus: Many issues arise out of simple lack of correct information/awareness. Up-to-date information and research helps to clear up myths and bring an understanding/perspective to each issue. Including the PLISSIT Model of sex therapy.
- Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy: I focus on the potential of every client, identifying each client’s individual assets and focusing on their strengths rather than on “solving problems”.
