Psychosexual Therapy

Sexual problems/dissatisfaction can have a profound impact on people’s mental, physical, and emotional stability. They often reflect varying levels of relationship problems, ranging from a lack of communication to underlying intimacy problems. Sexual problems may exacerbate an existing issue(s) or create new relationship challenges. Resolving your relational conflicts is necessary to remedy many sexual problems. Not all sexual problems necessarily stem from medical health issues. They can be related to previous harsh experiences, childhood traumas, unexamined cultural beliefs, and negative body image. Sexual problems/dissatisfaction can be a real threat to the stability and continuity of your romantic relationship.
