Sex Therapy
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.

Sex Therapy
Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Sex therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore concerns related to sexuality, intimacy, relationships, and just being a sexual person. Therapy may address challenges such as desire discrepancies, communication around intimacy, sexual anxiety, body image concerns, pain during sex, life transitions, identity exploration, or the impact of stress and past experiences on intimacy. Grounded in education, emotional awareness, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, sessions are tailored to each couple’s unique values, goals, and experiences. Sex therapy affirms that sexuality is a meaningful part of overall well-being and supports clients in developing greater confidence, connection, communication, and comfort within themselves and their relationships.

I am a certified sex therapist, offering both individual and couples therapy. Sexual concerns are more common than people often realize, yet can feel difficult to talk about. I offer a comfortable, nonjudgmental space to explore your experiences, questions, and goals at your own pace. I assist with issues related to sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, overall satisfaction, and pain.

Sex therapy is just therapy — about one of the most human parts of being alive.
