Sex Therapy

Let’s be real—sex therapy might sound like a mysterious, behind-closed-doors kind of thing. But don’t worry, it’s not about awkwardly sitting in a room while someone gives you "the talk" (though that would be funny, right?). It’s actually a specific form of psychotherapy designed to help you work through any issues related to your intimate life and body.

​

Sex therapy is where a professional helps you navigate everything from communication breakdowns to performance anxiety, and sometimes even just… well, figuring out what you want in the bedroom.  Some issues we can address with sex therapy are:

​

-Low desire and high desire

-Sexual dysfunction (e.g., problems with erections, dryness, pain, etc).

-Concerns about pornography 

-Exploring kink or non-traditional relationship configurations

-Navigating sex with a disability

-Sexual trauma, shame, and purity culture

-Maintaining a sex life through aging and menopause 

-Intimacy after pregnancy and birth

​

Whether you're trying to feel more comfortable with yourself or figure out how to meet your own intimacy needs, it’s all fair game.  We promise, if you're struggling with something that feels embarrassing or strange, we've likely heard of something similar ten times over!  Nothing much can shock a sex therapist. 

  ​

So if you're ever in a rut or wondering why your sex life feels more like an episode of a bad sitcom than a romance movie, sex therapy could be helpful. Plus, it’s way more productive than Googling “how to spice things up” and accidentally landing on a weird forum.

​

And remember, there's no shame in seeking a little guidance. So, take a deep breath, ask a professional, and get ready to reignite that spark!

​

PS:  Sex therapy with a credentialed professional prioritizes comfort, safety, consent, and boundaries.  Most importantly, there is NEVER any disrobing or touching that occurs in the therapy office.
