Sex Therapy
Sex is a normal and healthy part of life. A derailment of your sex life, whether due to medical, psychological, relational, or situational factors, can significantly impact your quality of life. While sexual problems or dysfunction can be highly distressing, it is both more common and more treatable than you might expect. Whether you are experiencing decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, painful sex, premature ejaculation, or feeling sexually detached from your partner, therapy can be a valuable tool in improving your enjoyment and engagement in your sex life so you can ultimately thrive. Referrals for evaluation with a sex therapist and medical treatment are offered as necessary.
Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that focuses on addressing and resolving sexual difficulties experienced by individuals or couples. Sexual problems and challenges are common and can be caused by a wide range of factors, including physical, psychological, relational, or cultural influences.
Sessions with sex therapists typically involve open and nonjudgmental discussions in a safe space about the client's sexual history, concerns, and goals. The sex therapist may also provide psychoeducation about sexual anatomy, functioning, and communication techniques. Depending on the specific needs of the individual or couple, the therapy may include various techniques and exercises to address the presenting issues and emotional trauma.
It's important to note that sex therapy is a collaborative process, and sex therapists work with clients to create a safe and supportive environment to explore their sexual concerns. Privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance in therapy, as clients may discuss intimate and personal aspects of their lives. We are also a sex-positive clinic that has no judgment on you!
Sex therapy can be beneficial for individuals or couples seeking to improve their sexual and overall well-being, enhance sexual communication, address sexual difficulties, deepen intimacy, and create a deeper connection in their relationships. If you are facing sexual challenges, seeking the help of a trained and experienced sex therapist can be an effective step toward resolving these issues and improving your overall sexual and emotional health.
