Are you concerned about your sex life?
Is sex causing pain - physical, emotional, or
both - rather than pleasure?
Are you worried things will never change?
Are these issues impacting your well-being or your relationships?
Are you seeking a supportive, non-judgmental, sex-positive
environment where you can comfortably discuss
your situation and find real solutions?
Seeking treatment from a sex therapist is the place to start. I often hear from clients that talking about their sexual concerns in sex therapy is such a relief as a result of being able to freely discussing their concerns and have a better uderstanding of what's going on. They also experience increased motivation and hope after creating a plan to move towards their goals.
There are so many expectations and so much stigma surrounding the topic of sex. Most people are surprised how quickly they benefit from counseling, because sex therapy tends to be more solution-focused and short term than traditional counseling.
You may be wondering, "What exactly is sex therapy?" There can be a lot of misconceptions about this. Sex therapy is counseling with a focus on sex related issues. There is no physical contact between you and the therapist, nor is the sex therapist a sex surrogate. Similarly to mental health counseling, we begin with an intake assessment where we discuss your sexual background to better understand what's bringing you to sex therapy. We then create goals you'd like to work towards and identify what you'd like to get out of counseling.
