Looking for a Sex Therapist?
Understanding Sexual Dysfunction
A sex therapist can help you understand and correct sexual issues or dysfunctions. Lisa Lempel-Sander has been working with individuals and couples for over 20 years, treating sexual dysfunction and improving the overall sexual and erotic lives of her patients.
The Consultation
Why It’s Important
Good sex therapy begins with a consultation. Here are some considerations:
- A consultation is a one-time or two-time engagement without commitment
- A consultation gives you perspective on a variety of practitioners
- A consultation protects you from making a pre-mature commitment
- A consultation clarifies the goals of treatment if you decide to proceed
You are Unique
Finding the Right Match
Because there are differences among practitioners that can make the difference for you, it’s important to find the right match. Any good sex therapist should agree to a consultation before you agree to pursue treatment.
Questions Are Appropriate
Some Questions to Ask:
- What can I expect from our work?
- Do I need a partner for treatment?
- How long will my treatment take?
- Can we also work on my sexual relationships?
Your Comfort
An Important Prerequisite
When sex therapy is needed, nothing progresses unless you feel comfortable. A good sex therapist is skilled in discussing difficult issues related to sexual functioning, fantasy and sexual practice, and she’s also skilled in helping you to relax and to develop trust in the clinical process.
