However, sex therapy focuses primarily on the physical and emotional aspects of sex and sexuality. Sex therapy can occur in individual sessions or during couples counseling. Examples of concerns that are often addressed during sex therapy are lack of intimacy, struggles with satisfaction or gratification, self-esteem, body image concerns, or issues with performance and arousal.
Sex therapists also have the expertise needed to address sexual trauma or abuse, gender identity or sexual orientation concerns, pain during sex or intimacy, as well as sexual compulsions or addictions.
