Sex Therapy
Our clinicians specialize in sex therapy, a form of behavior therapy that focuses on intimacy and sexual problems. It can be helpful to people of all ages, sexual orientations, and genders, and to individuals and couples alike.
A sex therapist helps you define the type of sexual dysfunction that鈥檚 affecting you and addresses the resulting sexual distress. Problems with sex are often compounded by strained communication between partners. A goal of sex therapy is to enhance communication using a behavioral approach to resolve those problems.
Sex therapy consists of discussions in your therapist鈥檚 office, along with special exercises designed to make you feel more relaxed in your sexual interactions. These exercises are practiced in the privacy of your own home. The goal of sex therapy is to maximize the potential for satisfaction, pleasure, and happiness.
