(S)E-X Therapy

SEX THERAPY IS FOR EVERYONE


There is no one typical sex therapy client.  Sex is about the body and mind, our histories, and our relationship to ourselves. Depending on your concern, therapy will likely include a combination of education, unpacking the elements at play during session, and exercises to do at home. If you are experiencing challenges or have hopes to impact your relationship to yourself, your body, or to those of others, sex therapy can help.

Other Concerns

Extra-Marital Affairs

Discovering infidelity can be devastating, and is often followed by intense emotions and difficult decisions. Whether the infidelity was physical or emotional, our therapists can assist in the process of getting you and your spouse to a place of trust, connection and intimacy while supporting the ultimate outcome you choose.

Sexual Trauma

 Sexual trauma occurs when people involved in sexual events cannot or do not give their consent, feel scared or helpless, or are injured or threatened.  It can happen once or be a series of events that happen over time. Even if the event or events weren't violent, it can still be traumatic and have lasting effects on the person who experienced it and their relationships.

If you have experienced sexual trauma at any time in your life, working with a skilled, trauma-informed therapist can be a key step forward in the healing process.       

Sex/Porn Addiction

sSexual addiction is one of the terms used to describe sexual activity that feels "out of control." Having a high sex drive doesn't make you a sex "addict." Neither does watching porn, having multiple partners or participating in cyber-sex. Problems develop when sexual activity occurs in a way that feels uncontrollable or results in harm to you and/or your relationships.

Our therapists can assist you in assessing your behaviors and offer guidance for you and your relationships in relation to sexual behaviors that may be problematic.
