Sex and Intimacy Therapy

Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that explores the underlying causes of a sexual issue and focuses on developing healthier and satisfying sexual functioning.

We provide sex therapy with couples and individuals looking to work through some sexual difficulty, sexual dysfunction, or just to improve their sex lives.

Sex therapy is based on talk therapy. A thorough history is obtained which includes medical, personal, and relationship information. Although all the therapy in the office is talk therapy, clients may be given exercises or techniques to practice at home either alone or with their partner.

Each therapy is tailored to the particular needs of the individual and may include classical sex therapy, relationship counseling, focus on techniques, or psychotherapy.

There is no physical contact in sex therapy.

Different people present with different difficulties and would require different time frames for treatment. Some couples or individuals are satisfied with only a few visits, while others prefer or require months of treatment. How much the individual is able to work on the issues between sessions also helps determine the duration of treatment.

If your sexual problems cause distress and unhappiness in your life, a sex therapist can help you to find solutions to improve your sex life.
