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 Marietta, GA 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 therapy at Thriveworks in Marietta, GA is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Sex therapy typically lasts for several months. However, it can be shorter or longer, depending on the couple’s needs.
The world is full of references to sex. When you are suffering with a sexual issue or painful sexual history, each media reference to sex is painful. It is impossible for most adults to go very long without thinking about sex. When you are trying to break free from a sexual issue, every mention or thought of sex is wrought with emotion. When you call to connect with a Thriveworks Marietta counselor or therapist, you are beginning the process of creating a new normal. Let us walk with you in defining your problem, understanding its root, and creating a plan for victory over it.
There are a wide range of sexual issues, and sadly, they can affect people of all ages. Children, obviously, should know nearly nothing about sex. Yet, it is a sad reality of society today that some children have knowledge of sexual behavior. Whether you are looking for help for your child, teen, your relationship, or your spouse, Thriveworks Marietta, GA counselors and therapists can help.
Perhaps you are not trying to work on a specific problem, but rather are attempting to improve your current relationship or marriage. If you are struggling with a more serious concern, this list may be useful to you. Some common types of sexual issues include:
While this is not a complete list, it is a great starting point for figuring out the general area of your problem. Thriveworks Marietta counselors and sex therapists can help you determine your exact issue, and then journey with you on solving it.
If you and your spouse or partner are having difficulty with sexual intimacy, this can flow over into many different areas of your life. When a couple is having trouble in the bedroom, communication can become strained, and distance can be created. When these problems are ongoing, they build upon each other and can create a deep divide between two people who still love and care for each other a great deal. Thriveworks Marietta sex therapists and counselors can help each individual in a relationship understand their role in the sexual issue, and work to redefine and recreate the intimacy they lost.
Perhaps you are only trying to deal with your own sexual history and issues. If you have suffered abuse, it can take years to reestablish a healthy emotional state with regards to sex. Thriveworks Marietta therapists and counselors can help you make this a reality. We will help you develop a plan of action, walk with you as you take the steps necessary for real change, and help you assess your progress.
We know that you may have been considering making that first call for help for a long time. For some, seeking counseling is not an easy decision to make, despite it being so desperately needed. When you are finally ready to reach out for help, we are ready to join you. We want to be ready when you are ready to make a change. We pride ourselves on not operating with a waiting list. It can be frightening to consider telling your life history to someone new. But it may be the best decision you have ever made for your relationship, and for your emotional and psychological health. You are not alone. Thriveworks counselors and therapists in Marietta are prepared to take this important journey with you.
