Sex Therapy

Each year we treat hundreds of people who come to us seeking help with sexual issues. Some come for a major sexual problem, others for less severe difficulties. In fact, sexual problems are so prevalent, that nearly two thirds of all men and women will experience them at some time during their lives.

At the Institute for Sex Therapy, we have an integrated approach that includes modalities such as behavioral, cognitive, psychodynamic, and systemic therapy in resolving sexual problems. Though treatment can be done on an individual basis, we encourage the couple to work together. Council for Relationships was one of the first to recognize that sexual problems could not be separated from, or treated apart from, the partnered relationship.
