Dr. Susan L. Waldo
Psychologist, PhD
Sex Therapy is necessary sub-specialty for anyone who works with couples because often when couples struggle, one of the areas of struggle is sex. I provide new and innovative strategies in conducting sex therapy that focuses on the needs and wants of both partners in the relationship. I also help couples for whom traditional sex is no longer possible due to illness or medications, to find sensual, sexy ways to connect intimately even though intercourse is no longer possible.

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.

Sex therapy is talk therapy, but with a different focus and skill set: understanding how the body works and how pleasure and sex are experienced, often separate from the cultural, societal and religious norms and different than mass media portrayal. Sex and sexuality conversations in the therapy room are rooted in this understanding. The work at times is helping you to be vulnerable with yourself to understand better what your needs and wants are and to be able to express these things to your partner.
Sex therapy can go beyond this to include sexual abuse and assault and what is commonly referred to as "sex addiction" but at PHL Therapy Collective is treated more as "out of control behavior" that focuses on the triggers that lead to sex seeking.
