What is Sex Counseling?
Individual and Couples Counseling
What is Sexuality Counseling ?
Sexuality counseling provides a safe, non-judgmental environment to discuss any aspect of sex and sexuality with someone who is trained in the physical and social aspects of the human sexual experience. Focusing on information, education and support, CSCSNH combines a strong understanding of the human body and how medical treatments; illness; medications; and aging all effect the individual experience of sex. We utilizes many theories from behavioral health (such as cognitive-behavioral therapy; rational-emotive therapy) to help you understand communication concerns, and how personal feelings are impacting your experience of sex. We are also trained to recognize deeper emotional or psychological issues that may need referral for more intensive therapy.
Can CSCSNH handle all sexual problems?
No counselor or therapist can meet everyones needs. Our training covers a very wide range of concerns that many people have regarding their intimate relationships or sexual feelings. If at any time you, or the counselor, feel that another provider would be more adequate, we have a network of professional Doctors,Therapists, or other health professionals that we can help guide you to for treatment.
Counseling Sessions
I have sessions in 1 hour formats.
Generally most people find that 3 sessions offer adequate time to
1) assess the problem
2) discuss options for finding a solution to the concerns
3) reassess their comfort level with the suggestions or plans.
Because of this theory, I have package options for individuals or couples who commit to 3 sessions at the conclusion of the second session.
If at the end of 3 sessions we both decide to meet longer, that of course, is always possible.
At any time during our sessions if you decide sexual counseling is not for you, or you have achieved the support you needed prior to 3 sessions, you can stop at anytime.
Please note: CSCSNH is a private practice. As such we do not accept any health insurance for payment.
How is sex counseling different from marriage or family counseling?
Sexual counseling is much like any other talk therapy. Helping you to address and examine your thoughts, feelings, and concerns regarding your sexuality.
Some of the issues we can help you address are:
- Sexual concerns during life changes (pregnancy; after childbirth; during and after cancer treatment; after medical problems, after divorce or death of partner; menopause)
-Sex drive concerns (libido or desire issues)
-Couples Communication (dysfunction)
-Sexual Pain
-Concerns regarding sexual identity, orientation, or behaviors
