Sex Therapy

What is Sex Therapy?

A sex therapist is a professional who specializes in helping individuals and couples address concerns related to sexuality, sexual functioning, intimacy, and relationships. Through a combination of talk therapy and psychoeducation, sex therapists support clients in exploring topics such as desire differences, sexual pain, performance anxiety, arousal difficulties, identity, and communication around sexual needs. They may also assist clients in processing the impact of negative sexual experiences, medical conditions, or relationship dynamics on their sexual well-being. Rooted in a nonjudgmental and inclusive approach, sex therapy aims to foster healthier, more satisfying sexual and relational experiences by addressing both emotional and physiological factors within the context of a client’s values, culture, and identity.
