Questions

A few things to know

Is sex therapy explicit?

Sex therapy is talk-based therapy or education. It may involve honest language and practical exercises, but it does not involve sexual contact with a provider.

Can I come if I feel embarrassed?

Yes. Embarrassment and shame are common reasons people seek support. You do not need to have the right words before you begin.
