Sex Therapy

Sex therapy is a specialized form of talk therapy designed to help individuals and couples address challenges related to sexual function, intimacy, and connection. It provides a safe, confidential space to explore sensitive topics such as desire, arousal, performance concerns, body image, past experiences, and emotional or relational dynamics that may affect sexual health.

Unlike medical treatment, sex therapy focuses on the psychological, emotional, and relational aspects of sexuality. A sex therapist does not perform physical exams or sexual acts. Instead, the work is done through open conversation, education, and evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help you better understand yourself, your partner, and the ways your mind and body interact.

Sex therapy can support you in:

• Improving Intimacy & Connection – Helping couples deepen emotional closeness, rebuild trust, and enhance physical and emotional intimacy.
   
• Addressing Sexual Concerns – Working through issues such as low desire, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, erectile dysfunction, pain during sex, or mismatched libidos.
   
• Healing from Past Experiences – Providing a supportive environment to process trauma, shame, or negative beliefs around sex and sexuality.
   
• Building Confidence & Self-Understanding – Guiding individuals in exploring their sexual identity, orientation, and preferences without judgment.
   
• Enhancing Communication – Equipping partners with tools to talk openly and respectfully about needs, boundaries, and desires.
   

Sexual health is an essential part of overall well-being. When intimacy feels strained, it can create stress, distance, or conflict in relationships and impact self-esteem. Sex therapy empowers you to approach sexuality with confidence, compassion, and clarity—transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and connection.

Taking the first step toward healthier intimacy and sexual well-being can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. Scheduling a consultation with Shana provides a safe, judgment-free space to share your concerns, ask questions, and learn how sex therapy can help.
