Sex therapy at our Seattle practice functions much like any other individual therapy or relationship counseling session—the key difference is that the focus is specifically on concerns related to sexuality and intimacy. Our therapists, including certified sex therapy professionals, are specially trained to help you explore challenges like mismatched desire, low or no libido, compulsive sexual behavior, or sexless relationships.
Treatment may include guided conversations, psychoeducation, and homework between sessions to support growth and change. Clients often benefit from learning known solutions and strategies to restore connection and pleasure.
Sex Therapy Standards and Ethics
Sex therapy is always governed by professional standards, including those of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT). It’s important to clarify that sex therapy never involves physical touch or sexual activity in session. All participants are fully clothed and sessions are conducted within clear, ethical, and professional boundaries.
