Sex Therapy
The Vision
Sex Therapy is a therapeutic program offered at
the Encouragement Institute. We are experienced to
help treat the sexual problems of couples or
individuals due to physiological and psychological
problems or trauma.
Sexual Functioning
- Females can experience a hypo or hypersexual desire, difficulties with arousal, orgasmic problems, pain during intercourse or vaginismus (involuntary muscle contractions that make intercourse difficult or impossible).
- Males can experience erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and hypo or hypersexual desire.
- Relationships suffer often because of discrepancy in the frequency or type of sexual activity requested by each partner.
- There are sexual problems such as sexual compulsive behaviors that may be linked to other psychiatric problems such as anxiety and depression. In such cases there is a need for a multimodal approach to treatment.
- Sex therapy is highly effective.
Our Goal
The Encouragement Institute’s approach to sexual therapy strengthens the relationship through therapy and focuses on the needs of each person. Call us today if you would like more information or to schedule an appointment. We have evening or weekend appointments available.
