Choices Psychotherapy is purely a judgment-free zone. And while we understand that talking about sex or sexual issues isn’t comfortable for all of our clients, rest assured that our therapists are trained to make this as comfortable and as easy of a discussion as possible.
A healthy sex life doesn’t necessarily mean having frequent/good sex: Instead it can mean becoming comfortable or content with your own sex life within your relationships. This is a courageous step toward learning to understand your and your partner’s needs in a sexual relationship.
Concerns about sex and intimacy can often be linked to underlying issues like stress, anxiety, depression or even illness, medication and aging. Gaining confidence in talking about sex can uncover and help to alleviate strains you might not have known existed either with yourself or your partner.
Since the addition of a sex therapist in 2013, Choices Psychotherapy has been able to expand our services and our ability to help current and potential clients from the Twin Cities. As with all of our services and therapies, our sole focus is to help the client. The more ways we’re able to do that, the better.
If sex therapy seems like a fit for you or your partner, we’re more than willing to help you get started. A journey toward sex positivity, open discussion and healthier, happier sex lives is a journey worth taking, and we’ll help you along the way.
