Intimacy and sexual wellness therapy helps couples address emotional and physical disconnection. It provides a safe space to explore desires, boundaries, and communication, with the goal of rebuilding trust, connection, and passion in the relationship.
Yes—many couples experience a decrease in intimacy over time due to stress, life transitions, unresolved conflicts, or mismatched needs. Therapy can help identify the root causes and reignite emotional and physical closeness.
Absolutely. Therapy can help couples navigate mismatched libidos by fostering open communication, mutual understanding, and strategies to meet both partners’ needs without pressure or resentment.
Attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized—deeply affect how we connect, communicate, and experience closeness. Understanding your style can help break unhealthy patterns and improve emotional and sexual connection.
Not at all. Intimacy therapy also supports couples experiencing emotional distance, communication breakdowns, or struggles with vulnerability. It’s about deepening connection on all levels—emotional, physical, and psychological.
The frequency of your appointments will be discussed and determined during your initial therapy sessions, based on your unique needs. Typically, after six to eight sessions, you and your therapist will review your progress. Treatment goals will be assessed periodically and adjusted as necessary. It’s important to remember that you have full control over the therapy process. You are always free to discontinue treatment at any time, regardless of your therapist’s perspective. However, we encourage you to have a conversation with your therapist before making the decision to end therapy. Keep in mind, each therapy experience is individual, and outcomes can vary from person to person.
The first session, or “consultation,” is all about getting to know you and understanding what you’re going through. We’ll take the time to talk about your personal challenges and your situation, so we can create a treatment plan that feels right for you. You’ll be asked some questions, and we’ll explore different aspects of your concerns together. Sometimes, this may include psychological assessments or reaching out to others, like your doctor or family (but only with your permission). Once we have a clear picture, your therapist will share some treatment options with you, and together, you’ll decide on a plan that feels comfortable and helpful for you.
