Couples Sex Therapy

There are many ways to approach sex therapy, depending on the nature and causes of the sexual issues. We draw from a range of evidence-based practices we’ve seen work for other couples. After carefully assessing your experience, we recommend whichever tools are most relevant and collaborate with you on a personalized treatment plan:

• Communication exercises help partners develop more effective communication skills to enhance intimacy and understanding.
• Intimacy exercises offer helpful pathways to exploring physical and emotional connection.
• Sensate Focus Therapy involves gradually increasing physical intimacy and pleasure through non-demanding touch.
• The Gottman Method of couples therapy addresses roadblocks to communication and intimacy in order to enhance empathy and understanding between partners.
• Mindfulness and relaxation techniques help reduce anxiety and allow you to be present and embodied in the moment.
• Body image and self-esteem work enhances self-acceptance and confidence, removing mental barriers that hinder intimacy.
• Sexual education provides accurate information about sexual anatomy, function, and pleasure.

Effective sex therapy empowers you with new perspectives and actionable steps. We take a solution-focused and strength-based approach, so you leave the session with a clear sense of progress and practices to take home and incorporate into daily life.
