Sex therapy
Our clinicians are trained in the latest sex therapy techniques and know how to delicately talk about even the most intimate of topics.
Since we know that talking about sex can be hard, and, it can be a really important aspect of a relationship or of one’s identity, it’s no wonder why it’s so common for sexual issues to pop up, even in healthy relationships.
Let us help get the conversation started
Our clinicians are trained in sex therapy and know how to delicately talk about even the most intimate topics. We know that it can be really embarrassing and hard to talk about, and we work hard at cultivating a natural, comfortable environment where we can help figure out a solution for everyone.
Common areas of need
Mismatched desire
One partner wants sex or intimacy more than the other, and it’s causing issues.
Premature ejaculation (PE)
Premature ejaculation occurs in men when semen leave the body (ejaculate) sooner than wanted during sex. Premature ejaculation is a common sexual complaint. As many as 1 out of 3 people say they have it at some time.
Erectile dysfunction (ED)
Things check out fine at the urologist, but you’re still experiencing ED issues and don’t know what to do. There may be therapeutic techniques your medical doctor doesn’t specialize in that can help.
Low desire
You have a lower desire than your partner, and you’re feeling bad and like the issues are all your fault, or, you’re not sure why it’s such a big deal for your partner and it’s causing issues.
Female orgasmic disorder
Marked by either the lack of orgasm in most (~75%) of the time, or reduced intensity of orgasmic sensations. Oftentimes this can be caused by relational stressors, and our therapists can help to explore the issue, and have tools to alleviate distress.
Shame
With all the ways that messages about sex and sexuality have been thrown at us, it’s no wonder why so many people experience shame surrounding sexuality. It could be about your gender, sexuality, sexual interest, or something you’ve never told anyone. “Am I normal?” is a common question we’re asked.
Changing bodies
As our bodies change, they can feel foreign to us, and a lot of times it impacts desire and performance.
Genito-Pelvic Pain/Penetration Disorder
Oftentimes there is pain with intercourse. Our therapists can help to collaborate with other professionals if needed, or can teach tools to have intercourse without pain.
“Eroticism in the home requires active engagement and willful intent. It is an ongoing resistance to the message that [relationships are] serious, more work than play; and that passion is for teenagers and the immature.”
