Sexual Issues

Find Your Counselor

About

One of the most common questions clients ask in sex therapy is—drumroll—“Am I normal?” But compared to what? And to whom? Our preferences and our desires are varied. Everybody is different! A more useful question might be “what do I want from my sex life and how can my partner and I help meet each other’s needs?” We are born into this world as sexual creatures. Understanding our sexual desires, individually and as a couple, is a wonderful way to nurture and grow your bond as a couple or become more familiar with your authentic self.

Sex counseling goes deeper than the surface level questions, however, and explores what makes the sexual being in us tick (or not tick!). Factors such as religious affiliation, childhood trauma, body image, and more all congregate to create the complex relationship that is you and your approach to sex. Counseling can help you unravel the complicated roadmap and explore these salient parts of you on your terms.

Signs and Symptoms

  • questions surrounding physical functionings
  • dismantling societal expectations
  • pornography
  • non-traditional relationships
  • investigating religious/cultural messages from youth
