How Can A Los Angeles Sex Therapist Help Me/Us?
Sex therapy is very much like individual therapy with an intentional focus on sex and sexuality. It includes everything that happens in your sex life, your sexual health, any sexual dysfunctions or challenges in the bedroom that are harming your ability to enjoy your sexuality in a healthy way.
Sex therapy can happen as an individual or as a couple. You’re not required to go with your partner or spouse, but by going as a couple, your intimate connection and clarity about your relationship can increase.
How Are Sex Therapists Different From “Regular” Therapists?
Modern Intimacy’s sex therapists have specialized training on the intersections of sex and psychology. This expertise allows them to help patients navigate how their mental health might be affecting their sexual health and functioning, and vice versa, in a non judgmental space.
It’s a subtle but very important distinction and it’s what helps sex therapists to achieve results with their clients with greater depth at a faster pace than non-sex therapists or traditional couples counseling might achieve. A Certified Sex therapist maintains a sex-positive approach to sexuality in general, and is trained to understand that healthy sex takes many shapes and forms.

Does Sex Therapy Include Any Physical Touching?
Absolutely not. Sex therapy never includes any form of sexual, physical touch or contact of any kind. Sex therapists are mental health professionals who adhere to the same code of ethics as any other care-giving professions.
There can and will obviously be conversations about sex and intimacy in a safe, sex positive space, however, sex therapists will not engage in any requests or conversation that is sexually stimulating.
