Sex Therapy

In movies, sex is often depicted as passionate and perfect, but real-life intimacy can be complex and challenging. You may feel undesired, experience pain during sex, or struggle to stay present. Sex might have become a chore, causing tension, or you may have been without sexual intimacy for years, feeling alone.

 

However, real-life sex can also be creative, intimate, and pleasurable. If this seems out of reach, sex therapy can help. Our counselors listen to your unique story, sexual history, and routines, helping you learn new ways to communicate and connect. We aim to help you develop a satisfying sex life filled with safety, openness, and connection. Through therapy, old wounds can heal, paving the way for a fulfilling sex life.

 

We provide sex therapy to individuals and couples of all gender identities, expressions, and sexual orientations. You are not alone in your sexual struggles.

Here are a few areas where sex therapy can make a profound difference:

Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

A majority of men experience erectile dysfunction at some point in their life. So if sometimes it is hard to get hard, know that you are not alone. Sometimes ED may have a medical cause, so it is important to discuss your concern with a medical doctor. Other times, ED may coincide with stress, performance concerns, relational issues, trauma or other psychological origins that can be addressed in therapy. Counseling is a safe place to find support and generate solutions to improve your sex life.

Vaginismus

Vaginismus refers to the automatic contracting of the vaginal muscles that results in painful penetrative sex. Pain during sex may be caused by vaginismus or other origins such as insufficient lubrication or foreplay. If you are experiencing pain during sex, it is important to speak with a medical doctor to rule out medical causes. If you are experiencing vaginismus or pain during sex, working with a couples and sex therapist can help you begin to experience safety and pleasure during sexual activity through increased education, empowerment, and new solutions.

Low Desire

We encounter brakes and accelerators for our sex drive throughout our day-to-day life. A clean kitchen may be an accelerator or a stressful day at work may be a brake. You and your partner likely have different things that get your motors going so to speak, and maybe your motor has not turned on in a long time. For satisfying sex, accessing relaxation is necessary. Feelings of stress and unsafety can dampen libido. Sex therapy can help you learn your unique brakes and accelerators and give you language to communicate your needs. You will be empowered to own your experience and get your sex life back on the road again.
