Seeking Advice on Finding the Right Sex Therapist

[susanmark]

Hi everyone,

I'm considering seeking professional help to address some personal issues related to intimacy and sexual health. I’ve been looking into sex therapy but feel a bit overwhelmed by the choices and unsure how to find the right therapist for my needs.

What should I be looking for in a sex therapist? Are there any specific credentials or certifications that are important? Also, if anyone has had experience with therapy for sexual health, I’d appreciate any recommendations or insights.

Any advice on how to approach the process would be helpful!

Thanks!

When looking for a sex therapist, it's important to check for proper credentials, such as certification from organizations like AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists). Look for a therapist with experience in the specific issues you're dealing with (e.g., sexual dysfunction, relationship concerns). A skilled therapist can also help guide discussions around things to do sexually to improve intimacy and connection with your partner. It's important that you feel comfortable with them, as a trusting and open relationship is key to successful therapy. If possible, consider an initial consultation to see if their approach feels like a good fit for your needs. Therapy can be a great step toward improving your sexual health and intimacy.
