A couple’s sexuality can be a wonderful part of their life and a relationship is best if it includes a mutually enjoyable sexual exchange. Sexuality can also be a source of distress, uncertainty and insecurity. Although there are many excellent new drugs on the market to enhance sexual performance, sexuality is about communication and in the absence of a good relationship or just anxiety the best drugs are inadequate. Millions of men and women would like to enhance their emotional and sexual relationships but all too often, shame, fear and embarrassment prevent individuals and couples from discussing their concerns with doctors, family or friends. Although, it is normal to experience some anxiety, or be upset or angry with one’s partner, many people do not have the tools to resolve these difficulties. As a result, problems which can be easily solved are left unattended, only to fester and become more severe and are expressed in the bedroom.

Sex and couple consultation is a vehicle whereby an individual or couple has an opportunity to explore the unhappiness associated with their relationship. This occurs within a relaxed informal environment in the guidance of a professionally trained therapist who is attuned to the nuances of intimate communication and sexual problems. We successfully treat individuals and couples who struggle with sex and intimacy. Where appropriate, colleagues are consulted to provide diagnostic and medical assistance.

Since, marriage is a deeply complex system, most of us communicate with our partners physically as well as spiritually and emotionally. Sexual expression changes throughout one’s life and is affected by multiple factors within each individual and each couple. Along with commitment, there is chaos, change and conflict, and often these feelings get expressed in bed. There are no magic potions or instant solutions when we fall out of lust. Truly recognizing and deeply appreciating one’s own needs and those of one’s partner with love, compassion and respect can rekindle the flame of passion and understanding.

Many therapists have extensive training in working with individuals, but traditional graduate traditional training programs often do not have specializations combining couple and sex training. Our associates have post graduate training in this disciple as we believe that in order to effectively help couples who are struggling with sexual concerns, a model which utilizes a combined appreciation of couple communication and sexual dynamics is crucial.
