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 dysfunction can be highly distressing, it is both more common and more treatable, than you might expect. Whether you are experiencing decreased libido, performance difficulties, painful sex, or feeling sexually detached from your partner, therapy can be a valuable tool in improving your enjoyment and engagement in your sex life. Referrals for evaluation and medical treatment are offered as necessary.
Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that focuses on addressing and resolving sexual concerns and difficulties experienced by individuals or couples. Sexual issues and challenges are common and can be caused by a wide range of factors, including physical, psychological, relational, or cultural influences.
Sex therapy sessions typically involve open and nonjudgmental discussions about the client's sexual history, concerns, and goals. The 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.


It's important to note that sex therapy is a collaborative process, and therapists work with clients to create a safe and supportive environment to explore their sexual concerns. Privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance in sex therapy, as clients may discuss intimate and personal aspects of their lives.
Sex therapy can be beneficial for individuals or couples seeking to improve their sexual well-being, enhance sexual communication, address sexual difficulties, and deepen intimacy in their relationships. If you are facing sexual concerns or challenges, seeking the help of a trained and experienced sex therapist can be an effective step towards resolving these issues and improving your overall sexual and emotional health.
