Sex Therapy
Sexuality is a normal and important part of many people’s lives and relationships, yet it can be difficult to talk about. Whether you are seeking support as an individual or with a partner, sex therapy can help you better understand your concerns, improve communication, and develop a more fulfilling connection with your sexuality and intimate relationships. We can help with issues including:
Low desire and desire differences: Navigating changes in libido, mismatched levels of desire between partners, and feeling disconnected from your sexual self.
Sexual communication and intimacy: Building comfort discussing sex, expressing needs and boundaries, exploring desires and fantasy, navigating conversations about kink and ENM, and strengthening emotional and physical intimacy.
Sexual functioning concerns: Addressing difficulties with arousal, orgasm, pain during sex, or other challenges that may affect sexual satisfaction and confidence.
Life transitions and sexuality: Adjusting to changes in intimacy related to parenthood, aging, illness, menopause, relationship changes, stress, or other major life events.
Sexual shame, identity, and relationship concerns: Exploring the impact of past experiences, cultural or religious messages, questions related to sexual identity, or relationship dynamics that may be affecting your sexual well-being.
Factors inhibiting your eroticism: Identify and dismantle barriers to connecting with your erotic mind such as difficulty connecting to your own body, difficulty staying in the present moment, body image challenges, internalized messages around pleasure or indulgence, and self-criticism, among others
