Frequently Asked Questions

What is sex therapy? 

Sex therapy is talk therapy with an emphasis on addressing sexual issues and concerns with a therapist who has received extensive training in human sexuality in addition to clinical training as a licensed mental health provider. 

Is there any physical touch involved in sex therapy? 

No, there is no physical touch involved in the type of therapy we provide. Any type of sexual contact is strictly prohibited by the ethical code outlined by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT).

What do you think of "reparative therapy" or "conversion therapy?"

We think it's extremely unethical and has caused a lot of damage to many people. A lot of our work has involved undoing harm caused by internalized homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of systemic oppression and discrimination.
