Sex Therapy

Sex Therapy


Sex therapy offers the opportunity to meet with your therapist on a one-on-one basis or with your partner in a private office that is comfortable, safe and confidential. Sex therapy is very much like individual or relationship therapy except you will be working with a therapist who specializes in helping you to address sexual challenges and will likely focus more on themes related to sexuality than you would in traditional individual or relationship therapy. Just like in traditional individual and relationship therapy, there is no physical contact with your therapist during sessions. Your therapist may provide education about sexual topics through props, diagrams, or recommended reading. Your therapist may also recommend exercises for you to practice on your own or with your partner between sessions. Be sure to communicate with your therapist about any questions or concerns that you may have.



WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

Sex therapy usually begins in the form of weekly 50-minute sessions. Depending on the circumstances (e.g., distance, health limitations) extended session times may be available. Dr. Kalos’ role is to guide you (and your partner) in working toward the goals you set out while also continuously integrating your feedback as well as the significant events and changes that occur on a week to week basis. Therapy is a process that evolves along with the changes that you (and your partner) make.
