Do I have to be in a relationship to seek sexual wellness therapy?
No, sexual wellness therapy is for both individuals and couples. Whether you’re single, dating, married, or in a non-traditional relationship structure, therapy can help you explore your sexual identity, improve self-confidence, and address any concerns affecting your well-being.
Is sexual wellness therapy only about sex?
Not at all! While therapy can address physical aspects of sexuality, it also focuses on emotional, psychological, and relational factors. Many people seek therapy for self-exploration, body image concerns, past trauma, or to improve emotional intimacy with a partner. The goal is to support your overall well-being in a way that feels right for you.
What should I expect in a session with a Certified Sex Therapist?
Sessions are a safe, confidential, and judgment-free space. A CST will start by understanding your concerns, goals, and background. Therapy may include discussions about relationships, emotions, body image, past experiences, and education about sexual health. You will never be asked to engage in any physical activities during therapy—sessions are talk-based and focused on emotional and psychological support.
