Embrace sex as a pleasure, not a chore

Sex counseling can help uncover the root causes of sexual concerns. Sex counseling is a form of psychotherapy (talk therapy) that discusses concerns with sexuality. This could entail a change in sexual desire over the course of a relationship, difficulty with sexual arousal, sexual pain or vaginal closing left unexplained after medical evaluation or even traumatic flashbacks during sexual intercourse. Many of these concerns have a psychological component and we work within that context through talk therapy. In Houston, sex counseling near you is relatively easy to find as there are a number of sex therapists available.

At Liaison., sex counseling is viewed through the lens of the intersection between sexuality and psychology. As a sexologist & sex therapist, my goal is to provide a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their concerns and improve their sexual health, sex life and overall mindset. Clients often seek support for intimacy issues, mismatched desire and difficulties forming a deeper connection in their relationships.

Most Common Sexual Concerns

Vaginismus: Closing of the vaginal opening preventing penetration

Dyspareunia: Vaginal penetration is painful

Female anorgasmia: Orgasms do not occur

Diminished sexual desire

Compulsive Sexual Behavior (CSB)

Unreliable erections

Premature ejaculation

Emotional injuries and complex relationship dynamics often underlie these concerns.

Sex therapists use psychologically-based interventions to gain a profound understanding of concerns and paths toward processing resolutions. Common treatments used by sex therapists include verbally exploring experiences that may be contributing to current difficulties, developing communication skills, understanding body language, learning how to express sexual intimacy, and addressing shame or guilt around sexuality. At-home assignments such as sensate focus are common.

To clarify an indiscreet misconception, sex therapy sessions DO NOT involve any sex related acts or physical contact. Sex therapists are licensed mental health professionals who work within the realms of psychology (talk therapy). It’s “all talk and no action.”
