Couples Sex Therapy
What is couples sex therapy?
Couples sex therapy is a specialized form of therapy that focuses on addressing sexual issues in relationships. It involves working with both partners together to explore and resolve challenges related to intimacy, communication, and sexual satisfaction. At this practice, we embrace a sex-positive philosophy that celebrates the diverse expressions of human sexuality. We acknowledge that there exists a broad spectrum of normal and healthy sexual practices, desires, and identities. Our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore, learn, and connect with resources that support their sexual journey.
Who needs couples sex therapy?
Couples (or relational) sex therapy may be right for you if you and your partner(s) need support with:
Mismatched levels of sexual desire
Rebuilding intimacy
Revitalizing and expanding sexual connection and satisfaction
Healing after infidelity
Improving communication about sex
Resolving resentment or conflict that is affecting your sexual relationship
Exploring sexuality and kink
Transitioning to a new relationship structure (monogamy, polyamory, ethical non-monogamy)
What to expect at your first session
Some people might feel anxious about talking about sex in therapy. We understand that everyone's journey is unique, and we are committed to providing sex therapy at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive for you. Before delving into any discussions related to sexuality, we always seek your explicit consent. Your autonomy and boundaries are of utmost importance to us, and we want you to feel safe and empowered throughout our sessions. You have the right to set the pace and direction of our conversations, and we will always respect your choices and preferences regarding what you are comfortable discussing.
Some topics we will explore are:
Individual backgrounds and experiences
History of the relationship
Communication
Emotional intimacy and connection
Current sexual concerns
Expectations and goals for the relationship
Hidden issues - add note about how couples often come to therapy for sex, but the concern is a mirror of other concerns
