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 Silver Spring, MD 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 Silver Spring, MD 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.
Sex is an unavoidable and sometimes tricky part of adult life. It is a necessity for most, thought of many times during the day, yet rarely discussed seriously, even among close friends. Sex is the closest form of intimacy, and when there are issues or problems, the couple can feel distant and experience friction. Or maybe you aren’t in a relationship at all, and you are simply trying to deal with your own sexual history or issues.

Sexual disorders and issues vary widely. Some common types of sexual issues include:
This is a general list of common sexual issues, but it is certainly not an exhaustive or complete list. If your personal problem is not featured on the list above, Thriveworks Silver Spring sex therapists are still equipped and able to walk on this journey with you. We will help you identify the root of your problem, develop a plan for improvement and understanding, and then will help you monitor your success in finding victory over this problem.
When a couple’s sexual relationship is not easy or comfortable, their relationship suffers in other areas. A lack of closeness, intimacy, and an overall dwindling connection can result. It is often difficult to determine whether a couple’s sexual issues developed before or rather a result of additional relationship problems. A Thriveworks sex therapist or couples counselor can help navigate these issues and identify the root of sexual problems. For many people, trauma from their childhood or past relationships cause difficulties in future relationships. When you are able to honestly deal with the pain from the past, you can begin to overcome sexual issues in a new relationship. Thriveworks Silver Spring counselors and therapists are willing to help you progress through these issues.
