Sex Therapy
Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sex therapy is talk therapy, but with a different focus and skill set: understanding how the body works and how pleasure and sex are experienced, often separate from the cultural, societal and religious norms and different than mass media portrayal. Sex and sexuality conversations in the therapy room are rooted in this understanding. The work at times is helping you to be vulnerable with yourself to understand better what your needs and wants are and to be able to express these things to your partner.
Sex therapy can go beyond this to include sexual abuse and assault and what is commonly referred to as "sex addiction" but at PHL Therapy Collective is treated more as "out of control behavior" that focuses on the triggers that lead to sex seeking.

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
