Sex and Intimacy Issues

Sex and Intimacy issues are very difficult to discuss due to feelings of shame, guilt or embarrassment.  You may be experiencing low libido, inability to orgasm, premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction and discussing these topics might feel intimidating.  They have affected your self-esteem, your ability to connect with your partner or even establish a relationship.

What happens in in the initial sex therapy session?

During your initial session, we will discuss topics such as your physical health, childhood/family beliefs about gender and sexuality, current and past relationships, and your presenting problems. The most important thing is openness and honesty about your relationships, sexual activities, and sexual concerns. All conversations are confidential and non-judgmental.
