    Struggles around sexuality come with many different aspects.  It could be medical, emotional, cultural problems, combination, or the inability to control your behavior.  

    Once we identify what the struggle is, then we look at how it impacts your life and functioning, and your relationship.  Ruling out things like medical challenges is important to begin the process of treatment. 

    Sex therapy is not about “doing the activity” but more about working through the problems and challenges you are facing as a couple. Homework assignments outside of sessions will help to learn and implement new things as well as improve some current or old activities in your intimacy.
