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
How does Lifeologie help?
Discuss your concerns with our intake specialists.
When you reach out to a Lifeologie, you’ll be connected with one of our Intake Specialists. In a “call center?” No way. Our specialists are each located in their local Lifeologie office and know the counselors well. Their entire job is to learn about you and what you’re looking for and to match you with the counselor who will be the very best fit for your needs and preferences.
Find a counselor that is passionate about helping you reach your mental health goals.
Our counselors are literally the cream of the crop. We get hundreds of applications every year to intern and work at our offices. Lifeologists are counselors, life coaches and overall wellness advocates who are experts and specialists in their craft. At the intern level, they have set themselves apart as incredible learners and collaborators, chasing after the highest-level trainings in the field. From EMDR to nutrition coaching to brain spotting and addiction specialists, we have you covered. Once you enter a Lifeologie office, you’ll find that we’ve carefully curated the environment to feel modern, comfortable and inviting. Counseling at Lifeologie is not your typical counseling experience – in any way.
Receive continuous support and guidance as you go on your mental health journey.
Your counselor at Lifeologie will meet you wherever you are, whether you’re just starting in counseling for the first time ever… or returning to a life-long counseling journey after a brief break. Your Lifeologist will partner with you to meet your goals. As you learn and grow, we can help you focus on overall wellness through mindfulness practices such as Psychotherapeutic Yoga or mindful eating. Wherever you are, we can come alongside and help you move forward!
