Tammy Morath, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC-S
There are many taboos and misunderstandings about sex and sexuality. Within the context of couples therapy/marriage counseling, sex counseling focuses on the experience between the people within the counseling office.
One common misconception is that sex should come naturally, be easy, and require minimal effort. The reality is that while some people may fall in that camp, other do not.
Sex therapy/sex counseling – what gets people in the door?!
There are many reasons why individuals (and folks in relationships) seek out marriage therapy and couples counseling for sex and sexuality.

Utah Center for Evidence Based Treatment
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Our Sex, Pleasure, Romance, and Connection (SPRC) Consult Program is dedicated to providing evidence-based treatment for individuals and couples dealing with concerns related to relationships, intimacy, and sexuality. Unlike generic therapy, our program is tailored to address the unique goals, challenges, and patterns specific to each couple's circumstances. We understand the significance of addressing sexuality and sexual health, which is often overlooked in traditional treatments. As part of our SPRC program, we are committed to providing holistic and integrative care, recognizing the intricate dynamics of trauma and its impact on intimate aspects of life. Our program aims to empower clinicians to skillfully and compassionately navigate the complex intersections of trauma and sexual wellness.
What to Expect
We begin with a multi-session in-depth assessment process to thoroughly examine concerns and obstacles related to relationship, intimacy, and sexual satisfaction. Based on the assessment data and therapy goals, we formulate personalized treatment plans to ensure the most comprehensive care specific to the client and/or relationship. Similar to our other clinical programs, we collect outcome data for each couple and/or individual to ensure that treatment goals are being met.
What We Treat
Furthermore, our sex therapy-informed clinicians have received formal, specialized training in the latest evidence-based treatments for couples, such as The Gottman Method, Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Conjoint Therapy for PTSD.
Our clinicians are trained to address the following concerns:
Relationship difficulties
Relationship recovery after an affair/betrayal
Relationship transitions (e.g., marriage, divorce, separation)
Enhancing intimacy and couples satisfaction
Supporting a loved one through a difficult period
Improved communication and conflict resolution skills
Increased sexual wellness and satisfaction

Matters of intimacy can be physical in nature that, in some ways, connect with our emotional lives and can become more complicated as we grow into our relationships with others.
