About Our Sex Therapy Program in Los Angeles, CA

Sex therapy is the treatment of any form of sexual dysfunction, such as low sexual desire, lack of sexual confidence, painful sex, anorgasmia, premature ejaculation, compulsive masturbation, female / male impotence, orgasmic dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, or unwanted sexual fetishes. Sex therapy can also help people who are recovering from childhood sexual abuse, sexual addiction or sexual assault. The goal of sex therapy is not only to help people heal from sexual problems but to assist them in reaching their sexual potential. Our sex therapy Los Angeles has helped many individuals and couples work through these issues allowing them to lead healthier sex lives.

Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling

In sexual-marital therapy, the focus is on repairing the hurts and resentments of the past, family-of-origin traumas, and/or unresolved childhood issues all of which can shape a relationship and impact the couple. Couples therapy requires the willingness to confront oneself, to disclose the truth about thoughts and feelings, and to tolerate anxieties without expecting partner validation or soothing, and learning to soothe oneself. All of this is in service of becoming more vulnerable in order to create a deep, satisfying, long-lasting connection with your partner.

At CHS, we provide sex therapy for couples focusing on structured support, education and intimacy skills.

Couples in Recovery from Sexual Addiction

Sex addiction recovery for couples often means facing painful and difficult challenges in repairing the relationship. The betrayed partner often feels pain, anger and distrust while the partner responsible for the betrayal can exhibit shame and passivity. There are usually years of built up pain and resentment causing an avoidance of intimacy and problems with sexual desire.

At CHS, we assist couples in moving towards restoring trust and respect so that they can begin to consider a healthy sex life with one another. Once healthy sex is defined and agreed upon, the couple moves into more intimate, erotic, and spiritual sex over time.
