SEX THERAPY
Sexuality is an important part of who we are as individuals and in our relationships with others. Sexual difficulties with arousal, orgasm, desire/interests, and sexual pain can block an individual and couple from experiencing the joy that can be found in pleasure.

Emotional, physical, and sexual intimacy contributes to couple relationship satisfaction. Emotional closeness, which is marked by partner emotional accessibility and responsiveness both inside and outside the bedroom, is core to developing a healthy couple sexual relationship. Within sexual relationships, partners’ capacities to engage in the moment-by-moment sexual experience openly and authentically are core to creating more intimate and pleasurable encounters.
CFIR sex therapists are not judgemental about your sexual issues. We respect our clients’ individuality and the notion that human beings are diverse in their sexual desires and interests.
Sexual functioning is affected by a wide range of organic, biological, and medical issues, as well as psychological ones. Sexuality is also influenced by how we have developed in our previous relationships and in our social and cultural contexts. Therefore, a thorough assessment is necessary to ascertain the causes of your sexual difficulties and develop the most appropriate treatment plan.

We support clients to develop sexual authenticity. We also help to resolve sexual functioning issues to restore one’s sexuality as a source of joy, sensuous pleasure, and connection.
