Therapy for sex and relationship issues
How can therapy help with problems of sex and relationships?
Many couples have intimacy issues, including mismatched libidos or performance anxiety, or difficulty navigating life transitions such as new parenting or empty nesting. Current relationships are often shadowed by past breakups or trauma, or you may experience a lack of trust after infidelity. Single people may have trouble starting a new relationship, or maintaining one, or you may notice a repeated pattern in your partnerships.
A skilled therapist can help you identify and address these issues. Individually or together with your partner you can improve your communication skills and address recurring issues. Through therapy, you can build or repair emotional intimacy and trust.
