Sex Therapy

Sexuality is a core part of being human. And because it is something we all experience, it has the potential to be an enormous source of connection and fulfillment.

Sometimes though, it isn't. Things don't work, partners struggle, insecurities plague us, problematic behaviors arise, or we find ourselves otherwise unhappy with our sexual selves. All of this can leave you feeling inadequate, anxious, sad, disconnected, alone, unwanted, unworthy, and - ultimately - hopeless.

If you, your partner, or someone you love is struggling with sexual issues,
reach out now. 

We help our clients to develop a vision of their sexual health and then support them in implementing this vision through skill-building, education, and personal growth. Together, we can take a healthy,  sex-positive approach to discovering the potential for healing, growth, and fulfillment in your sexual and emotional life.

What is sex therapy?

Let’s start with what sex therapy isn’t: sex therapy isn’t having sex with your therapist (in fact, that is very unethical and will cost the therapist their license). Sex therapy isn’t coming in and having sex with a partner in the therapist’s office. Lastly, sex therapy isn’t therapy to “fix” your sexuality so that it is “correct.”

Sex therapy is a specialized form of talk therapy. What sets it apart are two things: the focus of the work and the therapist’s qualifications. It follows a specific model that prioritizes respect and empowerment of the client. It provides education, resources, skill-building, and intensive therapy, all tailored to the individual client’s needs.

Sex therapy is focused on helping individuals and relationships find fulfillment, joy, excitement, pleasure, connection, and a host of other elements of their sexuality that are important to them. And it is grounded in sexual health and well-being, not in trying to impose what “healthy” sex “should” look like.

Sexual Health versus Healthy Sex

Some people hear that there isn’t any such thing as “healthy sex” and worry we are saying that rape and sexual abuse is ok. Others worry we think that sexual behaviors can never become problematic. Absolutely not! Like any other aspect of your health there are certainly things that violate principles of health, in this case principles of sexual health.

COMMON QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT SEX THERAPY

When it comes to such a personal and sensitive topic as sexuality, most people have questions about coming to do sex therapy. Here are some common ones. If we don’t answer yours, reach out to us and ask. We’re happy to answer whatever questions you have to ensure you are as comfortable as possible before coming in.


We’re sex therapists, but NOT ALL ‘SEX THERAPISTS’ are

You’ll find a lot of counselors, therapists, psychologists, social workers, or marriage and family therapists saying they work with sexual issues. Some might even use the title “sex therapist” just like we do. But that doesn’t mean they are. Sadly, “sex therapist” isn’t a protected term so any clinician can technically call themselves that. But that doesn’t mean they are one. So what makes a therapist qualified to call themselves a sex therapist?


Our practice has been operating since 2012 and we have helped hundreds of people reclaim their sexual selves and relationships. Schedule a consultation with us and find out how we can help you, too.
