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.
Sex therapy providers at Thriveworks in Knoxville, TN 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.

Sex is an issue that cannot be avoided in adult life. In our personal lives, in the media, in our social conversations, we cannot go long without hearing about sex. We were designed to enjoy sex, although many people have a lot of issues, reservations, and painful histories with the topic. Although it is discussed openly in this time in society, it can be very difficult to discuss privately. Even in close relationships, or in marriages, sex is not a topic that is discussed easily.

How Does Sex Therapy Work?
When a couple is having sexual compatibility issues, their relationship can suffer in other areas as well. A lack of closeness, intimacy, and decreased connection can result. It can be very unclear whether the sexual issues came before or after other communication issues. A Thriveworks sex therapist or couples counselor can help navigate these issues, and identify the source of sexual problems. For many people, trauma from their childhood or past relationships cause difficulties in future relationships. When a person is able to openly deal with the pain from the past, they can begin to overcome their sexual issues in a new way. Thriveworks Knoxville sex therapists are able to help you on this journey, and monitor your progress.
