Sex Therapy and Intimacy Building
FOR COUPLES AND INDIVIDUALS IN MI AND FL
Reimagine what sexual health and intimacy looks like, on your terms.
Has your relationship lost its spark?
Romantic comedies have done us a disservice!
They have us thinking that relationships dont take work and should be hot and spontaneous forever, LIES! Relationships and keeping a sexual connection takes work, we need to put in some effort to keep things moving. Sometimes our bodies don’t do exactly what we want, our bodies change in ability, age, function and appearance and our sexual expectations and communication skills need to change too. We may realize that our sexual orientation is asexual, how will that impact a relationship?
Common concerns of sex therapy can include but are not limited to:
Desire discrepancy ( mismatched desire)
Sexual function- painful sex, erectile difficulties and “dysfunction”, difficulty with orgasm, premature ejaculation
Sexual orientation (sexual, asexual, bisexual, lesbian, gay, queer), Relationship orientation (relational, arealational, monogamy, polyamory, open relationship, polygamy, relationship anarchy, swinging), Gender identity (agender, cisgender, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer, genderfucker, bigender, etc.), Romantic orientation (romantic, aromantic), Erotic Orientation- (BDSM, Kinky, aerotic, erotic, non-kinky)
Compulsive Sexual Behavior (some refer to this as sex addiction)
The impact of oppression on sexual health and functioning
Increasing connection and pleasure
Relationship challenges impacting sexual connection, Communication breakdowns
Compulsory sexuality and the impacts on individuals and relationships (asexual and allosexual experiences)
Infidelity therapy to explore repair, rebuilding trust, or ending the relationship
Sex therapy tailored for you and your goals.
I have no idea why you are seeking sex therapy but I can guarantee I will approach your goals with the utmost care and curiosity. Sex therapy takes a different skillset than mental health therapy for individuals or couples and that means you will receive tender care that centers consent. I will spend time discussing your history and concerns and we will develop a treatment plan together, with your goals at the center of our work.
You don’t have to suffer in silence.
Therapy for sexual health can help you:
Explore and name your desires
Learn more about your body and its sexual function and bodies in general
Explore gender, sexuality, relationship, and erotic orientations
Connect sexually with yourself and partner(s)
Receive referrals to relevant medical professionals as needed
Frequently asked questions about sex and intimacy therapy
-
Description text Judging by some of the emails and calls I have received since actively advertising sex therapy, I think it is safe to assume people aren't always sure what this entails. Just like any other individual or couples therapy you will come and discuss the specific issues that are coming up for you and the goals you have for yourself. As your therapist I will provide you with feedback, education, and do a thorough assessment.
-
A sex therapy assessment is similar to individual or marriage/ relationship counseling. As your therapist I will engage you in an exploration of the problem bringing you to therapy. We will complete a sexual history, a medical history, relationship dynamic exploration, and mental health related assessment. All of these assessments are done with your consent, any questions or suggestions that you do not want to engage with or need to work up toward engaging with will be respected.
Ok, Ive been assessed, now what?
After your sex therapy assessment, we will co-create your treatment plan utilizing your goals of therapy. Much of reaching your goals happens between sessions, and you will be given between session "homework".
-
Your right to confidentiality is the same with sex therapy as it is with other forms of therapy.
