If you ever googled "sex therapist near me" this is just the place for you. 

Let's explore what brought you to that search in the first place.

Are you wondering if your intimate life will ever get better. Maybe you are wanting to reconnect with your partner again. You are missing the old intimacy and passion in your life and relationship. Maybe you are struggling with desire but still feel a deep love and connection with your partner. Has sex become painful, exhausting, debilitating, or hopeless? Is porn or masturbation becoming problematic for your life? 

Either way you are searching for a solution or understanding. You want more passion and connection in your life. This is the first step in the right direction and toward reconnecting with your intimate life. 

A common misconception of therapy is something has to be horribly wrong to start therapy. That is not true! Starting therapy early can help save relationships, better relationships and increase the satisfaction that you may already have in your life or relationships. 

Some common reasons people seek sex therapy:

• Differing desire levels

• Sex is starting to feel like an obligation rather than fun, playful and connecting. 

• Communicating around sex feels difficult and uncomfortable

• You are feeling disconnected from your body or sexuality 

• You are hoping for more passion or connection in your life

• Sex or porn addiction

• Premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction

Don't wait until your relationship is breaking down or in crisis to seek counseling. Prioritize your relationship and intimacy and seek help sooner rather than later.

Let's clear some things up… What actually happens in sex therapy?

Sex therapy is similar to traditional talk therapy. We explore and process your emotional, psychological and relational factors that are impacting your life, relationship and intimacy. There is no nudity, physical contact or sexual activity in any sessions. That might mean talking through differing desires, working on sexual confidence and body image, and making conversations about sex feel more comfortable and open. 

What happens if I can't get my partner to come?

Here's some good news! We only need one person to change the system. You can still benefit from therapy if you come to individual therapy even for relational issues. We can process and explore your relationship to sex, understand patterns and dynamics in your life, work through uncomfortable topics, and work out shame that may linger in your views around sex. 

Time to stop searching and start doing…

We know you are searching for answers and maybe just some relief. Whatever brought you here, your sexual well-being and relationship deserve the space and time to sit down and figure out a better way into connection and intimacy. Time to reach out to a sex therapist or a couples counselor that specializes in sex topics. 

Desire matters, your pleasure matters, and your relationship is important. Your connection to your body, partner and passion no longer deserves to be on the back burner.
