Sex therapy for couples focuses on your concerns about sexual compatibility, functioning, or communication about sex. Before getting started it may be necessary to first rule out any physical conditions with a physician. Counseling sessions take place in a clinical setting and never involve any form of physical contact or sexual behavior. While discussions are often very frank, they are always professional, respectful, and educational. Problems treated include:

​

• infidelity/affairs (emotional or physical)

• intimacy and rejection

• vaginismus

• sexual addiction

• disagreements about frequency

• sexual performance anxiety

• lack of desire and loss of desire

• postnatal changes

• religious or cultural differences
