Mismatched libidos. Performance anxiety that arrives precisely when you don't want it. Intimacy that has drifted into routine or disappeared altogether. These are among the most common concerns adults carry — and among the least likely to be brought to anyone. This page is for the specific, private questions. The clinical reality is encouraging: intimacy concerns respond well to structured therapy, and improvement tends to reach far beyond the bedroom. ## What people bring to us - Desire that has faded — in yourself or between you - Libido differences that have become a standing conflict - Performance anxiety and the avoidance it creates - Difficulty with arousal, orgasm, or pain during sex - Intimacy after childbirth, illness, or major life change - Feeling like roommates rather than partners ## Why this responds to therapy Sexual health sits at the intersection of body, mind, and relationship. Medical causes deserve medical care — and we'll encourage you to rule them out — but the patterns that maintain a problem are usually psychological and relational: pressure, avoidance, resentment, shame, or simply never having had the conversation. Therapy interrupts those patterns. With a clinician holding a doctorate in clinical sexology, the conversation is precise and comfortable faster than most people expect. ## What to expect A calm, clinical, unembarrassed conversation. Clear assessment of what's maintaining the problem. Practical steps between sessions — communication structures, ways of rebuilding touch and trust — matched to your pace. Sessions are 55 minutes, $215 with a [sliding scale](/rates) from $150–194, in person downtown or online anywhere in DC. FAQ ## Common questions ### Should I see a doctor first? If there's any chance of a medical cause — hormonal, vascular, medication side effects — we'll encourage a medical check alongside therapy. The two work best together, and we're comfortable coordinating with physicians. ### Do I have to share explicit detail? You share what you choose, at your pace. Clinical training means we can work effectively without pushing you past what feels right. ### My partner won't come. Is it still worth it? Yes. Meaningful change in one partner often shifts the pattern between two. Many clients start alone and are later joined by a partner.
