Sex Therapy
Sex Therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy designed for individuals or couples seeking to enhance their sexual functioning and satisfaction. We provide a safe and supportive environment that fosters open, sex-positive discussions about sexual health and well-being.
What is Sex Positive?
Sex-Positive Approach emphasizes respect for each client’s unique sexual profile. Sex therapy is dedicated to assisting clients in defining their own sexual identity and making choices that are both healthy and fulfilling for their sexual well-being.
The Principles of Sexual Health:
- Consent
- Non-exploitative
- Honest
- Shared values
- Protection from STIs/STDs
- Unwanted pregnancies
- Pleasure
Sex therapy addresses not only behavioral symptoms but also the underlying emotions and feelings that may be hindering sexual functioning. Sexual problems often stem from both physical and emotional issues. In addition to therapy, we may recommend seeking medical evaluation to rule out or confirm any underlying medical conditions. Together, we will develop a treatment plan aimed at providing relief, enhancing pleasure, and fostering a clearer understanding of sexual health.
Individuals and couples seek sex therapy for a variety of reasons. Common sexual health concerns include:
- Sexual desire, arousal, or interest
- Sexual orientation or identity
- Past unwanted sexual experiences
- Sexual activity following medical concerns or diagnoses
- Impulsive or compulsive sexual behavior
- Erectile dysfunction
- Difficulty reaching orgasm (Anorgasmia)
- Painful intercourse (Dyspareunia)
A sex-positive approach can offer clients greater insight and provide tools to address sexual concerns in a healthy manner. If you and/or your partner believe that sex therapy could be beneficial, we invite you to contact us so we can work together to help you achieve optimal sexual well-being and functionality.
