Are you ready to experience a great sex life? Are you ready to overcome barriers such as ineffective communication, low sexual desire, or sexual dysfunction that prevent intimacy and sexual fulfillment? Why does deep intimacy not guarantee good sex? Do you want to get the most out of life, especially in the area of your sexual needs? As a sex therapist, I treat clients of all sexual orientations with sexual health and relationship concerns. Sexual issues do not typically resolve themselves through working purely on relationship issues. Sex therapy involves specific behavioral techniques (also referred to as: “sexercises”) that the therapist will assign the couple or individual to try between sessions. There is never any touching between patients and therapists.
Some issues that sex therapy can help you work through:
- Sexual trauma
- Communicating with your partner about sex
- Conflicting levels of desire in a couple
- Problems resulting from long periods of inactivity
- Problems resulting from infidelity
- Sexual dysfunction in males and females
- Gender identity disorders
- Unwanted sexual fetishes
- Low libido
- Performance anxiety
Often sexual problems are the result of both physical obstacles and emotional issues. Before committing to sex therapy to uncover the causes and stresses connected to sexual dysfunction, you may want to rule out any physical conditions that can be treated with relative ease and in a short time period. Solutions to physical causes of sexual dysfunction may be prescribed quickly and results are often apparent in a matter of months. Seeing a couples or individual sex counselor can prove to be uniquely helpful during this time.
A sex therapist can be a psychiatrist, psychologist or clinical social worker who has received postgraduate training in sexology and is board certified in this discipline.
I assist both individuals and couples with learning more about their levels of desire by identifying what stops them form having the sex they want. I also facilitate better sexual communication between couples through the employment of proven techniques.
