Sex Therapy
Dr. Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST
Sex Therapy is an effective way to address many kinds of sexual concerns. It allows you to better understand your sexual preferences, fantasies, and anxieties, as well as what’s preventing you from having the sex you most enjoy. You’ll become more aware of your beliefs, feelings, values, patterns, and expectations related to sex. You’ll also have the opportunity to choose how sex can be more fulfilling and pleasurable for you.
Working in therapy to understand and address the many sources that influence your sexuality, eroticism, and desire helps to untangle unhelpful narratives about sex. This results in improved feelings and attitudes toward sex and your body. I also work with you to align your actions with your values so you can stop the cycle of shame and guilt from unfulfilling behaviors.

Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT#150479
Ropes, and whips, and chains...oh my! No matter your sexual preferences, most of us grew up in a culture where our sexuality was shamed. As adults, we may feel embarrassed or "wrong" for even having sexual desires. Discovering who you are sexually, comes with its own unique anxieties and challenges. Sex is complex; it can be an ecstatic source of joy and pleasure and it can also be a source of boredom, pain, and heartache. A lack of education around sex may prevent you from understanding how your body experiences pleasure. It takes courage to explore your likes, dislikes, and fantasies. There are also relational risks that come with communicating our preferences. How will our wishes be received? Will we be rejected or accepted? Beyond knowing how you like to express yourself sexually, there are also deeper questions we might ask, like, what is the meaning and role of sex in your life? Why do you have sex? How does trust, safety, and security influence your sex life? Therapy is place you can explore these questions, develop more intimacy with yourself, and work through any uncomfortable or confusing feelings surrounding sex. Call or email me today to schedule a free 20-minute consultation.
