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.

Dr. Mike Abrams
Psychologist, PhD, MBA, ABPP
My books include a textbook on sexuality and I teach sex therapy and sexuality at NYU. Having taught sexuality for decades has guided me to be effective in helping people with adversities related to sex. I have treated people with virtually ever conceivable sexual problem and most have benefitted from my help. I understand the strong emotions, such as shame and guilt when confronting problems related on ones sexual function or desires. Over many decades, I continually improved my skills, knowledge and empathy.

Sex Therapy
Joanna Vergoth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, NCPsyA
Sexual concerns are often deeply intertwined with attachment patterns, trauma history, shame, and relational dynamics. I provide psychosexually informed therapy that integrates trauma-focused, psychodynamic, and relational approaches. Whether addressing desire discrepancies, intimacy challenges, sexual anxiety, or trauma-related sexual difficulties, we work collaboratively to create safety and openness. Therapy supports reclaiming sexuality as a source of connection, agency, and authentic expression rather than fear or obligation.

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.
