What is Sex Therapy?
Sex therapy is a type of counseling that focuses on sexual health, intimacy, relationships, and identity. It provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore concerns, improve communication, and build a healthier relationship with your body and your partner.
Sex therapy is talk-based. There is no physical contact or sexual activity during sessions.
