Some common goals discussed in sex therapy include:

- Developing realistic expectations about sex
- Understanding the impact of past experiences on your current behavior or ideas about sex
- Using specific techniques to overcome challenges such as painful intercourse or performance anxiety
Sex therapy, as with any psychotherapy, never involves touching, disrobing, or sexual activity of any kind. Feel free to contact me if you have questions or are experiencing any of the above concerns.
