Sex Therapy
Sex therapy is an approach to healing that acknowledges and centers the diverse experiences of individuals, dyads, triads, and other relationship structures. At Resilience, we provide sex therapy to support anyone navigating challenges related to sexual identity, health, and intimacy. We aim to empower you to reclaim your sexual well-being and build meaningful, affirming connections—with yourself and others.
Our trauma-informed, intersectional approach is designed for individuals who seek liberation from the shame, oppression, and systemic barriers that affect their sexual experiences. We honor the full spectrum of sexual identities, desires, and experiences, ensuring that our work together reflects and supports your unique journey. Our therapists help you navigate emotional, physical, and psychological obstacles, enabling you to foster healthy, authentic, and joyous sexual lives.
Core Components
Promoting Sexual Wellness: Sex therapy helps you explore the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of your sexual health. We work with individuals, dyads, triads, and other relationship structures to foster a positive relationship with your body, desires, and sexual experiences. Understanding sexual health is essential for improving intimacy and overall sexual well-being.
Effective Communication Skills: Clear and respectful communication about sexual needs, desires, and boundaries is essential for healthy relationships. We help individuals and relationship structures (whether dyads, triads, or other configurations) to develop tools to openly communicate about sex in ways that are affirming and non-coercive, centered on mutual consent and respect.
Addressing Sexual Challenges: We explore internal (emotional, psychological) and external (physical, societal) factors that impact your sexual experiences, empowering you to reclaim sexual pleasure and intimacy.
Arousal Concerns: Enhance sexual arousal and response, deepening intimacy.
Difficulty Staying Present: Learn strategies to improve emotional connection and presence during sex.
Delayed and Premature Ejaculation: Manage delayed or premature ejaculation for improved satisfaction.
Erectile Concerns: Overcome erectile issues with a compassionate, holistic approach.
Libido Discrepancy: Address differences in sexual desire with understanding and open communication.
Low or Lack of Sexual Desire: Rediscover sexual passion and address challenges related to low libido.
Orgasm Concerns: Tackle difficulties with delayed, inhibited, or absent orgasms through a trauma-informed approach.
Painful Intercourse and Chronic Pain: Get support for painful intercourse and chronic pain impacting sexual health.
Healing from Sexual Trauma: Our therapists understand how sexual trauma intersects with societal oppression, impacting your sexual health and experiences. We work together to help you release harmful narratives of shame and self-blame, replacing them with empowerment, self-love, and healing. Our therapists will support you in rebuilding a healthy relationship with your sexuality and focusing on growth, sexual liberation, and empowerment.
Building Mutual Intimacy: We support you and your partner(s) in deepening trust, emotional closeness, physical affection, and sexual intimacy. Our approach emphasizes respect, consent, and mutual care, equipping you with the tools needed to build fulfilling sexual relationships that enhance connection and satisfaction.
Our sex therapists bring compassion, expertise, and a commitment to social justice to help you transform your sexual health and relationships. Together, we will work toward creating more just, caring, and liberated sexual experiences.
