#therapyforsexualdysfunction

Sex therapy at Be Known is a specialized form of psychotherapy focused on addressing sexual dysfunction, intimacy challenges, and broader sexual health concerns in a supportive, sex-positive environment. It is designed for individuals and couples and recognises that sexual function and satisfaction are integral to emotional well-being and healthy relationships. The practice embraces inclusivity, affirming diverse identities, orientations, and relationship configurations.

Therapy is conducted via telehealth, allowing clients to participate in sessions from home. Sessions typically last about 50 minutes and are structured to explore personal concerns, establish clear goals, and collaboratively develop tools to improve sexual functioning, communication, and satisfaction.

Who Can Benefit?

Sex therapy at Be Known supports a wide range of sexual and relational concerns, including but not limited to:

Sex therapy for sexual dysfunction, such as low libido, erectile difficulties, premature ejaculation, or orgasm challenges

Painful sex and vaginismus

Desire discrepancies between partners

Communication challenges related to intimacy or sexual satisfaction

Issues related to sexual identity, orientation, or relationship structure

Performance anxiety, sexual trauma, and anxiety about sex

Support for consensual non-monogamy, kink, and LGBTQIA+ lifestyles

The practice works with individuals, couples, triads, and other relationship structures, emphasizing a nonjudgmental and affirming approach to all adult clients.

How the Therapy Works

Sex therapy is talk-based and does not involve any physical contact during sessions. A licensed therapist listens, assesses concerns, and helps clarify experiences and expectations. Through guided conversation, education, and evidence-based techniques, the client and therapist work together to understand psychological, emotional, and relational factors contributing to sexual dysfunction. Therapeutic approaches include cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and communication skill building.

The first few appointments typically involve setting expectations, completing a comprehensive sexual history assessment, and defining specific goals. Based on these insights, therapists tailor subsequent sessions to meet the client’s needs, offering tools and assignments that build awareness, improve communication, and reduce anxiety related to intimacy and performance.

Understanding Sexual Dysfunction

Sexual dysfunction can affect anyone — regardless of gender, age, or background. It may appear as low desire, difficulty with arousal, pain during intimacy, or challenges reaching orgasm.
