What is Sex Therapy
Sex therapy supports individuals and relationships in discovering their authentic expressions and experiences of their own sensuality and sexuality.
Sex therapy training covers a diverse and comprehensive range of topics and important considerations for improving one’s relationship with themselves and others. Based on the six principles of sexual health, the exploration of how we relate to sex, eroticism, fantasy, self-love, pleasure, and healing from trauma and betrayal creates an expansive and holistic approach to therapy that allows a path forward in all areas of our life.
What are some examples of concerns that sex therapy can support?
Anorgasmia (inability to orgasm), problematic porn usage impacting relationships, post-partum sexual wellness, vaginismus, erectile issues, discordant sexual desires in relationship, exploration of ways to improve relationships and sex life, sexual “addiction,” betrayal, sexual trauma healing, reclaiming one’s sexuality, kink-bdsm lifestyle folx feeling free to be accepted, polyamorous and other enm relationships, creativity as one ages and the body needs support to find positions and techniques to continue a rich erotic life, adolescents exploring sexuality and sex needing honest and shame free support, folx on the ACE spectrum having a therapist that appreciates the beauty in this expression of self (pushing sex onto folx is not sex therapy), working through an affair… this list could go on.
The gist is that if you are human, there is an element of your life that is your erotic life. By seeing a sex therapist your erotic life is also sacred and doesn’t necessarily need to be the main focus, but it can be if that is the goal of treatment.
