Sex therapy is a strategy for the improvement of sexual function and treatment of sexual dysfunction.
Sex Therapy: is a specialized type of psychotherapy — a general term for treating mental health problems by talking with a mental health professional. Through sex therapy, you can address concerns about sexual function, sexual feelings and intimacy, either in individual therapy or couples or family therapy. Sex Therapy is similar to other forms of talk therapy, with the exception that your therapist is well versed and trained to treat sexual issues.
— Susan Stork, Sex Therapist in Baltimore, MDSexual energy is a fundamental part of life. If you've experienced sexual trauma in the past , you might feel that discussing sexuality is taboo. But your sexuality is part of you, and if you cut off from your own sexual energy, you can easily be disconnected from the very thing that makes you human. I am a Clinical Sexologist, and use the same energetic and somatic methods to help you balance and reclaim your sexuality.
