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

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

A 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.
