Couples Sexual Health

Physical intimacy is an essential part of a relationship for many couples and is what differentiates between a romantic relationship versus a friendship. When there are challenges with sex, it can be difficult for couples to know how to address it. Relationship and emotional issues can cause sexual issues and vice versa. Shame, fear, and anxiety can keep couples from being able to talk through challenges when they arise. The inaccurate messages we receive from the media, culture, and families can create unrealistic expectations for ourselves and our partners.

Life changes and stressors can also cause sexual challenges such as pregnancy, parenting, menopause, and other life stressors.

Clinicians are trauma-informed and incorporate this lens with couples. We also support couples with different neurotypes (neurodiverse) and use a brain-informed care approach that supports each person. We provide evidence-based sex therapy for couples struggling with:

Our experienced clinicians will provide a safe and supportive environment where everyone feels heard and supported. We don’t view one person as the problem and seek to meet couples where they are to focus on what they can do right now, while at the same time supporting them to grow, explore, and connect in new ways that create sexual satisfaction.

A component of couples work may include sensate focus therapy. It teaches couples how to gain comfort, trust, mindfulness, and communication about various sexual challenges noted above. Ongoing conversations about the barriers to physical intimacy help forge new pathways to understanding and connection.

We meet individuals where they are and want to get to know each person as part of the relationship. We support all relationship styles, sexual orientations, and genders. We specialize in supporting couples with neurodiversity and use a brain-informed care approach.
