Sex Therapy
Zaray Dratch
Pre-Licensed Professional, MFT-LP
Sex is one of the last things couples talk about in therapy, and usually one of the first things that signals something is wrong. Low desire, mismatched libidos, pain during sex, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, feeling disconnected from your own body or from your partner, these are real, common, and treatable. They are also almost never just about sex.
What happens in the bedroom is connected to everything else, trust, communication, stress, history, how safe you feel, how seen you feel. Sex therapy here doesn't treat the symptom in isolation. It looks at the whole picture.
This is a space where you can say the thing you've been too embarrassed to bring up anywhere else. What's not working. What you want but haven't asked for. What used to feel good and doesn't anymore. What you've never tried but want to. Nothing you say will land with shock or judgment. These conversations are normal here, because they should be normal everywhere.
Whether you're coming as a couple or on your own, the goal is the same: helping you have a sexual life that actually feels good, connected, and like yours.

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
Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Sex therapy is just therapy — about one of the most human parts of being alive. I work with concerns about desire, arousal, pain, orgasm, and intimacy in a way that is direct, nonjudgmental, and clinically grounded. Nothing you bring here will shock me. We will talk about it plainly, and we will actually work on it.

Sex Therapy
Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
Sexuality can be a deeply important and vulnerable part of our lives, and yet many people don’t have spaces where they can talk about it openly. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore concerns around sex, intimacy, desire, and connection. My approach integrates somatic awareness, parts work, and psychodynamic insight to help clients better understand their internal experiences—whether around boundaries, communication, shame, fantasy, body image, or identity. I see sex therapy as an opportunity for growth, healing, and deeper self-understanding. It can be a powerful pathway toward greater connection with yourself and others, and toward creating a more satisfying and authentic relationship to your own sexuality.
