Starting Sex therapy

What is sex therapy?

Sex therapy addresses challenges and concerns, helping couples move forward in a healthy manner while addressing each person’s fears or worries. Sex is the closest form of intimacy, and when there are issues, the couple can feel distant and experience friction — sex therapy helps to dissolve this friction.

How does sex therapy work?

Sex therapy providers at Thriveworks in Fredericksburg, VA take the time to address each person individually, as well as the couple as a whole. Through acknowledgment that each person brings a different sexual history, level of sexual desire, and openness, the couple can work through their unique sex issues successfully, with their therapist’s guidance.

Is sex therapy conducted in person or online?

Sex therapy at Thriveworks in Fredericksburg, VA is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does sex therapy last?

Sex therapy typically lasts for several months. However, it can be shorter or longer, depending on the couple’s needs.
