Sex Therapy
Best Therapies, Inc.
Therapist
The majority of therapists receive little to no training on talking about sexuality issues. A lot of couples come in to therapy to talk about their sex life, and spend months on fighting more fairly. Obviously, conflict and connection are two components to address, but sometimes folks get along great and have lost their sexual connection and some folks who fight all the time have a great sex life. Individuals often times want to share their difficulty, weird, or simply amazing sexual encounters with their therapist so they can process the experiences, but feel stifled or embarrassed to bring it up with a therapist who has never seemed open or interested. Well, screw that. (Pun intended.) (We’re sorry.)

Dr. Wayne Bullock
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd
Sex is such an important part of life for most of us. However, we live in a mostly sex-negative society that leaves many people unsure of how to talk about sex, unsure of how you feel about sex, and shame about being a sexual being. This shame can manifest in many ways in your sexual life. It can cause anxiety, depression, sexual difficulties in the bedroom, and relational stress. I invite you to share this private and intimate part of your life in a space designed to promote acceptance and understanding and therefore reduce distressing feelings or experiences you might be experiencing.
