Piyola Derbarseghian- Sex & Relationship Therapist
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Sexuality is a vital part of our well-being, yet it’s often the part we feel most alone in. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore concerns like low desire, performance anxiety and issues, pain during sex, out-of-sync libidos, sexual shame, or questions around kink, orientation, or non-monogamy. Whether you're looking to heal, reconnect, or grow, sex therapy can help you cultivate a more fulfilling and authentic sexual self, individually or with a partner(s).

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Sex therapy is a form of counseling intended to help individuals and couples resolve sexual difficulties, such as performance anxiety or relationship problems. I support couples in restoring trust, rebuilding intimacy, and reigniting healthy, passionate sex. Some choose to attend sessions alone; others bring their partner with them. Session frequency and length usually depend on the client and the type of problem being addressed.
Sexual health is an essential part of overall emotional and physical well-being. But if you’re experiencing a sexual problem, the last thing you probably want to do is talk about it. However, you aren't alone! 43 percent of women and 31 percent of men report some degree of sexual dysfunction.
Sex therapy is a type of psychotherapy that also takes into account possible physical problems. For this reason (among others), sex therapy requires special training. When a couple comes in with a sexual problem, we try to figure out how each of them could be contributing to the issue. We examine what is going on, gradually interpret this in the context of their sexual history/experiences, tease apart cultural/societal influences, and come up with solutions
Sex therapy utilizes a variety of approaches to treat sexual dysfunction. In addition to the techniques outlined by Masters and Johnson, sex therapy includes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), emotion-based therapy, and couples communication techniques. It’s important to know that sex therapy sessions do not involve any physical contact or sexual activity. I usually assign “homework”—practical activities that clients are expected to complete in the privacy of their own home.
