What To Consider When Choosing A Sex Therapist

When choosing a sex therapist, you may wish to put together some questions. You need to know that the therapist you could be speaking to can offer you the very best help. In addition to this, you also need to feel comfortable talking to them. The more comfortable you feel, the easier it can be for you to talk about those potentially difficult issues.

Consider their qualifications and credentials

One of the most important things that you can do is to make sure any potential sex therapist has the right qualifications and credentials. To be a sex therapist, an individual needs to have a Ph.D, MD, or a master’s degree that includes psychotherapy training.

They will need to have been supervised and undergo 60 hours of specific training. Only then can they hold sex therapy sessions. Choosing a therapist who does not have the right training is never a good idea. You need a qualified and skilled individual to help you with the issues that are concerning you. This is to ensure you receive the right advice and are more likely to overcome any issues you’re experiencing.

Meet with more than one therapist

You should also consider meeting with more than one therapist. You may feel more comfortable with one therapist than another. Many therapists also have different styles which can impact the work that they do and the therapy that you receive.

If you do not wish to travel far or you cannot travel far to an appointment, ask the therapist if they offer virtual sessions. Virtual sessions can work just as well as in-person sessions. Finally, you should also ask each therapist if they hold consultations before agreeing to work with you. Any therapist that does not offer a consultation should be avoided. This is because consultations allow you and them to learn about each other. They can help you judge whether the therapist is the right one for you and learn more about the services they provide.

Ask about their insurance and treatment plan

You need to know whether your potential therapist accepts your health insurance. This is so you’re not faced with a large bill every month. Please note, that some therapists will ask to see you weekly. Without the right insurance, you could be faced with a very large bill. It’s also worth working out whether your insurance company can pay for your sex therapy sessions. Make sure you double-check before you have any therapy sessions.

Ask any potential sex therapist about their treatment plan. You need to know what it will involve, what work you’ll need to do, and how much you’ll need to do. There might always be some difficult issues that you need to deal with.

Will you have the opportunity to explore these in a safe environment? Finding out beforehand means you know whether you’ll get the right help for those things that are troubling you.

If you wish to bring your partner with you to undergo therapy, your therapist will meet with both of you, to begin with. This is to ensure that she can get to know you both as a couple and see how you communicate with each other. These sessions will also help you to talk openly about those things you are struggling with.

Following your initial session, you will be seen individually by your therapist. This is to ensure that you can both speak freely about those things that are concerning you. It also ensures that your therapist gets to know you a little more so he can understand how your life is being affected. After a specific number of sessions, your therapist will then invite both of you to a joint session. This is so that she can see how you’re interacting with each other and work on the progress that you’ve made. Again, the session will be conducted in a safe environment so you feel more at ease.
