SEX THERAPY

Sex is a vital part of life and the cornerstone to intimacy. It can be a wonderful part of a relationship, or a source of unhappiness, dissatisfaction & insecurity.

Sexual behavior and skills are not instinctual, but learned. Most of us did not grow up with accurate information about health sexuality, and were often given messages that taught us to feel guilty and shamed by our sexual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Sex therapy addresses individual and relationship issues through psychodynamic and cognitive behavior therapy, education, and home assignments. Individually and/or as a couple, the following are some of the issues commonly presented in sex therapy.

• Overall sexual dissatisfaction
• Low sexual desire
• Desire differences
• Erection problems
• Painful intercourse
• Orgasm difficulty
• Early or delayed ejaculation
• Sexual anxiety
• Sexual abuse
• Vaginismus
• Affairs
