Sex Therapy for Individuals & Couples
Thoughtful, Expert-Led Support for Sexual Health, Intimacy, and Connection
Sex is a deeply human part of life—and also one of the least talked about.
Many people struggle silently with sexual concerns, unsure where to turn or worried their experience is unusual. Others assume sex therapy is only for extreme problems, when in reality it’s often sought by thoughtful, self-aware individuals and couples who want to understand themselves better and improve intimacy, communication, and sexual wellbeing.
At Boutique Psychotherapy, sex therapy is provided within a safe, grounded, and clinically rigorous framework—focused on understanding, integration, and meaningful change.
What Is Sex Therapy?
Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that addresses the emotional, relational, psychological, and contextual factors that influence sexual experiences.
Sex therapy is not:
explicit or graphic
performance-focused
advice-driven
about “fixing” bodies
Instead, it is a collaborative, respectful process that helps individuals and couples understand what’s happening beneath the surface and work toward sexual experiences that feel safer, more connected, and more authentic.
Who Sex Therapy Is For?
Sex therapy may be a good fit if you:
feel anxious, disconnected, or stuck around sexual activity or sexual health
want to understand changes in desire or intimacy
struggle to talk about sex without tension or avoidance
feel shame or confusion about sexual experiences
experience pain or discomfort around sexual pleasure
feel sexually frustrated in your body or your relationship
want a thoughtful, professional space to explore intimacy
You don’t need to be in crisis or have a “severe” problem to benefit from sex therapy.

Our Clinical Approach to Sex Therapy
We take an integrative, sex-positive, and relational approach to sex therapy.
Our work focuses on:
understanding emotional and relational patterns
reducing anxiety and pressure around sex
increasing emotional safety and attunement
exploring how stress, identity, and life transitions impact sexuality
supporting communication around sensitive topics
reconnecting with pleasure without performance demands
Sex therapy unfolds at a pace that feels respectful and contained. There is no expectation to share anything you’re not ready to explore.
Individual & Couples Sex Therapy
Sex therapy may take place individually or with a partner.
Individual sex therapy supports understanding desire, anxiety, shame, identity, and sexual self-connection.
Couples sex therapy focuses on intimacy, communication, emotional safety, and shared meaning around sex.
In both cases, therapy emphasizes curiosity, compassion, and clarity—rather than pressure or blame.

training and support for the clinical team
This ensures that sex therapy at Boutique Psychotherapy is:
clinically sound
ethically grounded
thoughtful and nuanced
aligned with current research and best practices
Clients benefit from both individualized care and expert clinical oversight.
