It’s like regular therapy, only we talk more specifically and directly about sex than most people do in regular therapy. No sexual touch happens in sex therapy sessions. Sex therapists are licensed mental health professionals who know how to do general counseling and intensive psychotherapy with clients, and in addition to that, we’ve got extensive training in sexuality. This extra training makes us useful for people who want to make changes in how they experience their sexuality. We tend to be sex nerds – people who have a deep intellectual curiosity and emotional spaciousness about all things sexual – which works out well for our clients!
