Your questions, answered

What is sex therapy?

Sex therapy addresses desire, arousal, pain, and intimacy with education, exercises, and conversations that reduce shame and build skills. Sessions may include solo and partnered practices, communication coaching, and medical referrals when needed. If you are also exploring a sexologist perspective, your therapist can coordinate care while keeping goals centered on comfort, consent, and choice.

How does sex therapy work?

Care is collaborative and paced. You will learn about physiology, beliefs, and patterns that affect sexual experiences, then practice exercises at a speed that feels safe. Assignments may include communication scripts, scheduling, and gradual exposure for topics like pain or anxiety.

What concerns can it help?

Common topics include low desire, performance anxiety, erectile or lubrication issues, and sexual pain such as vaginismus or dyspareunia. Therapy integrates medical input when appropriate and includes tools for communication and intimacy. You can also discuss whether consulting a sexologist would complement therapy.

How long does it take?

Timelines vary with goals and contributors. Many people notice improvements within weeks when practice is consistent. Your provider will set milestones and adapt plans for comfort and privacy needs.

How do I start?

A consult clarifies goals, history, medical factors, and boundaries. You will receive early exercises and resources plus a schedule that fits your routines. For couples, couples therapists may also provide relationship support alongside individual work.
