Sex Therapy

Have you lost your sense of sexual pleasure and desire? Do you feel alone and discouraged about your sexual relationships? Are you frustrated because your body is not cooperating with your sexual desire or because you experience lack of orgasm, erection or arousal?

More than 70% of all individuals and couples experience some sexual difficulty.  Many people suffer from shame and embarrassment when thinking about getting help for their sexual problems.  At Guttman & Pearl Associates, we strive to make sex therapy safe and non-judgmental in order to discuss your most challenging sexual problems and secrets.  We help you with lack of desire, erection or lubrication difficulties, lack of orgasm or experiencing orgasm too quickly, vaginal pain or general sexual dissatisfaction. We work with you individually and as a couple. Your partner’s participation in sex therapy is a vital part of  creating the sexual relationship you desire.

At Guttman & Pearl Associates there is no direct sexual activity in our office. We look at sexual difficulties from a variety of perspectives: your family history related to sexuality; the culture in which you grew up; possible medical issues; and your current relationship.  We know that fears of performance, the need to please our partner or disappointing our partners, create anxiety, resulting in sexual problems.

Sex therapy helps you to go beyond your past to feel positive about your sexual self.  We help you change your thoughts and behaviors in order for sex to feel fulfilling and fun.  We teach you to welcome different options in your sexual relationship, which will enhance closeness and sexual pleasure.  Most importantly, as seasoned couples and sex therapists, we help you co-create a new playful, sexual relationship.
