Sex Therapy therapists in Twentynine Palms, California CA
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.

While not a Clinical Sexologist myself. I provide couples with advanced communication skills to work out their differences ( such as parenting, financial and sexual) in safe conversations : first in my office and then as homework outside in their own home.

Registered Psychotherapist
For many people sex is not an easy subject to discuss, even with their therapist. I make it easy and comfortable. I offer sex therapy or sex counseling or coaching, depending on what you are looking for. Maybe there has been sexual abuse we need to process? Or maybe you have identity concerns? Or maybe you do not feel satisfied in your sexual relationships? Or maybe you have never had sex and are worried about it? Or maybe you want to reach greater levels of intimacy and sexual satisfaction? We can work with all of this and more as part of sex therapy, and address any other types of personal, life or relationship issues. Let's have a 15-30 minute complimentary session and find out if I am the right therapist or coach for you. I am looking forward to meeting with you by phone, video, or in-person here in Boulder, Colorado.
