Sex Therapy is a systematic approach that addresses unsatisfactory sexual experiences with a safe and suitable place to talk about sexual challenges with a caring person who has specialized training. In addition, it is a place to be educated about sexual functioning and an opportunity to learn about the complex biological, emotional and psychological aspects of oneself and together as a couple. Through sex therapy the individuals, as well as, the couple will undergo a sexual retraining process that will provide the means to build effective relational skills for the purpose of increasing intimacy and a vital sex life.
