What is SEX THERAPY?

Trust is one of the cornerstones of a long-lasting relationship. If you feel like there are a few areas where you and your partner aren’t quite on the same wavelength, perhaps it’s time to explore why that is . . .

Sex Therapy focuses on sexual concerns or issues. It is a unique and specialized form of professional counseling designed to help women and men address their concerns about sexuality, sexual function, and sexual expression.

Therapy is provided by a licensed therapist who has met the State of Florida requirements to be certified as a Sex Therapist. Like any therapeutic experience, sex therapy involves talking, listening and education. The trained therapist works with the client in a private and confidential setting to clarify their particular issues. During therapy, the therapist works with the individuals or couples where they are encouraged to openly express themselves. The Therapist provides specialized expertise regarding such issues as anatomy, physical response, and healthy sexual behavior.

Other issues may arise during therapy, these may include:

Desire or frequency discrepancies
Arousal or inability to reach orgasm
Sexual anxieties and inhibitions
Painful intercourse
Sexual identity or orientations issues
Premature ejaculation (rapid ejaculation)
Performance anxiety
Prostate surgery (specifics of rehabilitation)
Erection Problems
Medical problems affecting sex
Unusual sexual desires or behaviors
Issues related to sexual expression or function

It is important to understand sex therapy is strictly talk-therapy and therapeutic in nature. Therapy will never involve any form of sexual or other inappropriate physical contact, nor will the performance of any sexual activity be part of any therapy session.
