Goals of sex therapy for couples:
  • improving communication about sex
  • reducing co-dependency
  • assisting each partner in developing a solid sense of self
  • gaining clarity about who each partner is
  • deepening intimacy between partners
  • increasing sexual satisfaction for both partners
Sex therapists are typically psychotherapists with advanced specialization in talk therapy methods for sexual health. Sex therapy does not involve any sexual activity between therapist and client. Sex with a client is both unethical and illegal. Progress and change are made through discussion, exploration, and home assignments.
Effective sex therapy enhances integrity, self-esteem and sexual desire between partners. Whether a couple decides to remain together or to separate, an expert sex therapist will help each person have a healthy future.
