Sex Therapy
Often, my most important mission is to help people celebrate who they are as sexual beings. While much of sex therapy involves helping with desire discrepancies, sexual dysfunction, and painful sexual intercourse, sex therapy can also be useful for people whose sexual lives and identities are unique. People need acceptance and validation for their own special mosaic of sexual identity, desires, feelings, connections, and experiences. LGBTQ+ clients need to be supported and empowered within their identities. Sex therapy can also be helpful as clients discover themselves in the realms of nonmonogamy, kink/BDSM, consensual sex work, and various forms of fetish play.
Who it is for
How it works
If you are considering sex therapy, it’s important to find a provider who is qualified. My own practice is regulated by the State of Minnesota and by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) to ensure that I deliver high quality services with solid training about human sexuality. A good place to start is the provider database at www.aasect.org. The process of sex therapy is very much like seeing any other therapist. We use therapy as a means to explore, challenge, and heal the various hurts that people suffer in their sexual lives, with themselves and with others.
