SEX THERAPY
Do you have different sexual desire levels? Do you both feel unsatisfied?
Sexual issues on any level can cause shame, anxiety, depression, or negative thinking in your life. We lead chaotic lives prioritized by our obligations to other people. It is easy to let our personal needs fall to the wayside when there are so many things competing for our attention.
Relationships are hard. Sexuality is complex. We often tell ourselves, “I don’t have time to worry about that right now.” The truth is our relationships and sexual health are vital components to a happy and well-balanced life. If your relationship and sex life are suffering, please know you are not alone. I am here to help you find the love and pleasure you deserve.
Sexual health issues can include:
Infidelity
Intimacy issues
Anxiety, depression
Premature Ejaculation (PE)
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Delayed Ejaculation (DE)
Enjoy a more fulfilling sex life by enhancing your intimacy.
Are you having Erectile and Ejaculation issues?
Erectile Dysfunction (ED), Premature Ejaculation (PE) and Delayed Ejaculation (DE) are all very common in men’s sexual health issues. Many men have atleast one occurence in their life. There are a number of physical and emotional causes that may contribute to any kind of erectile and ejaculatory difficulty. Physical causes may be certain injuries causing nerve damage, medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, some types of prescription drugs, even alcohol and tobacco use may affect erections and ejaculation. I normally recommend you to visit an urologist to rule out any of these physical causes. Other issues may be psychological or emotional. This may be depression, anxiety, and/or stress. Any kind of worry and pressure to perform may interfere in your concentration in the bedroom. Rest assured that during our sessions we will provide a solution-focused environment that is open, safe, and confidential.
Do you suffer from painful sex, difficulty reaching orgasm, or low sexual desire?
You are not alone, many women do too. The first thing I recommend are for my clients to visit a sex positive gynecologist who specializes in pelvic pain to rule out any physical problems contributing to these issues. This allows me to work on the emotional or psychological issues that can contribute. A few of these issues may include high levels of stress, anxiety, depression, past sexual abuse, shame or embarrassment, and feelings of disconnection in your relationship.
Therapy can help you learn more about you and your partner’s sexual needs and desires. Together we will address many of the issues mentioned before, resolving these causes and helping you enjoy your sexual life in your relationship.

About Houston TX:
Houston, known as the “Bayou City,” seamlessly blends history, geography, and culture. Founded in 1836 at Allen’s Landing on Buffalo Bayou, the city grew from a riverside settlement into a global hub. Geographically, Houston lies on the flat Gulf Coastal Plain, enabling its sprawling layout and dominating skyline, which features architectural feats like the 1,002-foot JPMorgan Chase Tower—the tallest in Texas—as well as the Wells Fargo Plaza and Williams Tower.
Culturally, Houston is a living mosaic of global influences—over 145 languages are spoken here—yielding a world-class culinary scene from Tex-Mex and Southern soul food to Vietnamese, Indian, and African cuisines. The arts thrive in the Houston Theater District, one of only five U.S. cities with permanent resident companies in all major performing-arts disciplines; the Alley Theatre is a Tony-winning institution, and the Houston Grand Opera boasts a trio of Grammy, Tony, and Emmy awards.
Historical and cultural landmarks anchor the city’s identity. Space Center Houston (NASA’s official visitor center) anchors its reputation as “Space City,” inviting visitors to explore mission control and real spacecraft (Houston Online Magazine). Nearby in the Museum District, institutions like the Museum of Fine Arts (founded 1900) and the Houston Museum of Natural Science (with over 1.5 million visitors in 2022) draw global audiences with art, paleontology, and planetarium exhibits. Hermann Park, donated in 1914, offers restorative green space right beside cultural gems and has received acclaim for its landscape design.
For history buffs, sites like the towering San Jacinto Monument—the world’s tallest war memorial—and the adjacent Battleship Texas bring to life pivotal moments in independence and conflict. The Heritage Society in Sam Houston Park preserves the 19th-century homes that trace Houston’s early growth. The Buffalo Bayou Cistern, a 1920s underground reservoir turned eerie arts venue, and the Rothko Chapel, a contemplative modern-art space, add unexpected layers to the cultural landscape. Additionally, the Third Ward Cultural District includes Emancipation Park and Project Row Houses—essential commemorations of Black heritage and resilience (Condé Nast Traveler).
Annual events and accolades further elevate Houston’s allure. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the world’s largest, attracts nearly 2.7 million visitors with rodeo, music, carnival thrills, and culinary delights (Wikipedia). The city has earned recognition from Forbes, TripAdvisor, CNN, Travel + Leisure, and others as a top travel destination and a rising star among major cities. A 2025 Resonance report ranked Houston 11th in desirability, citing job opportunities, diversity, and nightlife, while tourism reached a record 53.9 million visitors.
Houston’s culinary prestige is also on the rise. Several local eateries earned Michelin stars in the inaugural Texas guide, and the city will host the 2025 Michelin awards ceremony, drawing attention to its diverse and dynamic food scene.
In summary, people travel to Houston for its groundbreaking role in space and energy, immersive museums and green spaces, globally influenced dining, award-winning arts, powerful historical landmarks, and vibrant festivals and culture. It’s a city where innovation meets heritage, and where every visit opens a new door.

Frequently Asked Therapy Questions:
What does a sex therapist do?
A sex therapist helps individuals and couples address sexual concerns, improve intimacy, and build healthier relationships. They:
-
Provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to talk about sexual concerns
-
Address issues like low desire, performance anxiety, pain during sex, or mismatched libidos
-
Help couples improve intimacy and communication
-
Offer education on healthy sexual functioning
-
Use talk therapy techniques (not physical contact) to work through challenges
Sex therapy is about guiding clients toward greater confidence, connection, and fulfillment.
How much does a session with a sex therapist cost?
The cost of sex therapy varies depending on location, provider qualifications, and session length:
-
Average cost: $150 – $250 per session in most U.S. cities
-
Sliding scale fees: Some therapists adjust pricing based on income
-
Insurance coverage: May be limited, since sex therapy isn’t always covered
-
Online sex therapy: Sometimes more affordable than in-person sessions
Always ask about payment options or packages when booking.
How long should sex last according to a sex therapist?
There isn’t a single “right” length of time for sex—what matters most is satisfaction for both partners. However, research and therapist insights suggest:
-
Penetrative sex averages 5–7 minutes for many couples
-
Foreplay and emotional intimacy are equally important and often extend the overall experience
-
The focus should be on connection, pleasure, and communication, not just duration
A sex therapist can help couples explore ways to make intimacy more fulfilling rather than focusing only on time.
What’s the difference between a sex therapist and a sexologist?
While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, there are differences:
-
Sex Therapist:
-
Licensed mental health professional (e.g., psychologist, counselor, or social worker)
-
Specializes in treating sexual concerns using psychotherapy techniques
-
Focuses on emotional, relational, and psychological aspects of sexuality
-
-
Sexologist:
-
Broadly studies human sexuality (research, education, or clinical practice)
-
May or may not be a licensed therapist
-
Some sexologists focus on education, while sex therapists provide therapy
-
If you want treatment for sexual concerns, a licensed sex therapist is the right choice.
Is a sex therapist worth it?
Yes—for many people and couples, sex therapy can make a major difference. Benefits include:
-
Improved intimacy and communication
-
Greater confidence in sexual expression
-
Resolution of specific concerns like low desire, pain, or performance anxiety
-
Reduced shame or anxiety around sex
-
Stronger emotional and physical connection in relationships
If sexual issues are affecting your relationship or well-being, working with a sex therapist can be highly worthwhile.

What is sex therapy?
Sex therapy is a psychotherapy process that specifically addresses the needs of individuals and couples who have concerns about their sexual desires, relationships, pleasures, or performance. A solution-focused approach is used to provide clients with resources, tools, and skills to enjoy a healthy, fulfilling sexual relationship.
Am I the only person with sex issues?
Absolutely not!! You are not alone. Anywhere from 35 to 50 percent of people struggle with long term sexual difficulties over the course of their lives and in relationships.
Can sex therapy help?
Counseling gets to the problem. Disappointment, hurt, anger, resentment, accusations, inhibition, and embarrassment often block the very discussion most needed to deal with sexual concerns.
At Center for Change & Well-Being we provide an environment of safety, confidentiality, and compassion. We make it a priority that individuals and couples feel truly heard and understood as we break through these roadblocks to sexual fulfillment.
