Sex Therapy
Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
One of the most ineffably upsetting and frustrating situations in relationships can be in the bedroom. Sex brings us to a new part of ourselves, which we don’t often fully understand or recognize. This uncanny feeling of confusion can be compounded when we don’t recognize our own partner’s sexual selves either. We might feel unseen, misunderstood, or uncared for. Often, problems in the bedroom represent and symbolize bigger problems that arise in the rest of the relationship. For example, you might have trouble asserting your desires with your partner in general, but in the bedroom it feels doubly intolerable to have your needs go unrecognized. Or you might feel your relationship lacks clear communication, and in the bedroom this often ends in a fight or utter hurt and confusion. By and by these common problems can lead to less and less frequent sex, which takes a toll on the relationship as a whole.
Please don’t continue to wait. You are not alone. Sexual intimacy difficulties are ubiquitous. All it takes is a little curiosity and a trained therapist to guide you to a new space of mutual desire in your partnership.

Sex Therapy
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Sex can become a source of pressure, rejection, shame, or disconnection even in relationships where love and commitment are strong. I am a trained sex therapist who works with individuals and couples who feel disconnected from their erotic selves, struggle with mismatched desire, or are dissatisfied with what their sex life looks like. Together, we explore what may be getting in the way, including relationship dynamics, trauma, body image, shame, difficulty accessing your own needs, or patterns of pursuing and avoiding intimacy. Our work goes beyond addressing a sexual concern in isolation; it is about reconnecting with your sexuality, vitality, and capacity for pleasure while building a sexual life that feels authentic, mutual, and alive.
