Sex Therapy
In a lot of ways, sex therapy is similar to traditional talk therapy, but oftentimes the presenting concern or topics in session are related to sex or intimacy. Sex therapy is a highly specialized form of talk therapy. It does not involve nudity or sexual contact between therapist and clients.
Sex therapy is a confidential space to unpack feelings, identify unhelpful patterns, clarify beliefs, or discuss problems that are causing distress or keeping you stuck. Maybe you’re seeking accurate information, or maybe you need compassion; a space to talk freely without feeling judged or shamed.
Using evidence-based therapy practices and extensive trainings in human sexuality, the goal is to create a relationship to your sexuality that feels healthy, positive, and authentic to you.
Sex therapy involves treatment of concerns related to low sexual desire, arousal, differences in desire within a relationship, sexual pain, difficulty with orgasm, premature ejaculation, and erectile difficulties. Therapy can also address sexual shame, fantasies, anxieties, compulsive sexual behavior (e.g., porn/sex addiction), dating, confidence, and psychosexual education.
