Sex therapy is a specialized type of therapy that focuses on addressing your sexual health.
Problems we can help with include:
- Pain with sex
- Low interest or low desire in sex
- Difficulty reaching orgasm
- Navigating uncertainty about what turns you on, or if your interests are “okay” or “normal”
- How to talk to your partner(s) about your sex life, including differences in desire, turn ons, turn offs, kinks or fetishes
- Reconnecting with your erotic self after major life-transitions, like becoming a parent, coming out, losing a loved one, or going through perimenopause
At the Pomegranate Institute, we have an inclusive approach to sexual health. You deserve a therapist who will:
- Provide comprehensive sex education that destigmatizes, is fact-based, and inclusive of LGBTQ*, kink and non-monogamy
- Frame pleasure as a fundamental part of human well-being and a human right
- Explicitly support sex workers and welcome patients who have been or are involved in sex work
- Help patients explore and overcome internalized shame, fatphobia, and homophobia
- Recognize that everyone deserves to experience pleasure, and that these experiences vary widely amongst individuals
- Acknowledge that sexuality is influenced by intersecting factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, class, ability and culture
