Frequently Asked Questions About Sex Therapy

FAQs

  • A sex therapist is a licensed therapist who has extra training and certification in sex therapy. Sex therapy is just like other therapy except with a focus on talking about your thoughts and feelings around sex and intimacy. A sex therapist can help you overcome any anxiety, past trauma or pain standing in the way of your enjoyment so you can look forward to sex again! Learn more.

  • No, a sex therapist is not a sex surrogate. There is no physical touching or sexual activity whatsoever between the client and therapist. Sex therapy is a form of talk therapy rather than “hands on”. Learn more.

  • Many of my sex therapy clients are women who grew up in religious or conservative homes with “purity” culture. They were taught that “good girls” don’t have sex. So, they never really learned what they liked during sex and often just show up for their partner’s needs and wants. Sex therapy can help you discover what you like during sex even if you have never really thought about it before! Learn more.

 Sex does NOT have to be another chore on your to do list that you do for your partner. You deserve to experience pleasure and enjoy intimacy comfortably!
