We know that sex therapy can feel scary and uncomfortable. But you deserve a fulfilling and happy sex life, no matter what issues you’re struggling with. Let’s get you back into feeling intimate and comfortable in this important part of your life.
Good question! Sex therapy is a commonly misunderstood area of relationship counseling. It may be helpful to think of this as being a compilation of three foci: “Christian + Sexuality + Counseling.”
We believe that Christ designed sexuality to be a diverse and enjoyable reflection of His nature. With that being said, sexuality is much more than the act of intercourse. Your sexuality is evident in the way you esteem yourself and your desire to connect with a friend. And of course, the intimate physical expression you share with your significant other.
Sexuality is so closely tied to to your spiritual, mental, and emotional health. So, it can be especially devastating when past hurts, physical challenges, long-lasting compulsions, broken relationships, and shame inhibit your ability to fully enjoy intimacy. The trained and certified sex therapists at Building Intimate Marriages integrate a foundation of faith with extensive research on how relationships impact sexual functioning. Above all, our therapists work to partner with you to find desirable solutions.
In therapy sessions, we want you to feel comfortable discussing those sometimes uncomfortable conversations. We create a relaxing environment with no expectations. Consequently, you (and your partner) can freely discuss things that are happening at home. No two individuals or couples are exactly alike. So, we are sensitive to helping you define what is “satisfying” for you. As a result, you may start to notice change after a couple of sessions or quite a few sessions. However, it is important to know that this gift takes time, patience, and dedication to cultivate.
Sex therapy is for couples, singles, or anyone who has a concern about their sexuality.
If you feel “stuck,” frustrated, confused, or anything other than satisfied with your sex life, you may benefit from sex therapy. Our sex therapists can help you explore potential areas of improvement. Individuals and couples often avoid counseling due to unknown expectations. If this is the case for you, we would love to meet with you to discuss your concerns. Then, we can discuss if Building Intimate Marriages would be a good fit for your needs.
While clients may seek sex therapy for a variety of reasons, the following are examples of problem areas.
Studies researching couples in sex therapy found 65% reported success. While sexual issues require couples to actively engage in work recommended by the counselor, couples often leave satisfied with the progress they’ve made. Typical outcomes include both increased frequency and increased satisfaction.
