From time to time, couples and individuals wish to explore their sexuality, gender roles, intimacy issues, and other related topics. If you live in or around Philadelphia, you may wish to book a consultation with Heal Your Roots Wellness, a telehealth mental health group practice founded in Philadelphia.
Using a holistic and evidence based approach, clients can learn to reconnect with their bodies while also communicating their needs. All therapy sessions will be handled in a confidential manner, and in a shame-free and safe environment.
Please note, you do not have to talk about any topic that makes you feel uncomfortable. While you might wish to explore the topic at a later date, there is no pressure on you to do this right now. Your needs and wishes will be respected at all times. Sessions with Heal Your Roots Wellness therapists are always a collaborative effort, and they will check in with you around pacing and comfortability.
Couples and individuals may decide that they need sex therapy. In some cases, this might be to work on a particular issue or to help strengthen the bond that they have with someone special. Not all sex therapy sessions revolve around sexual problems and issues. In fact, many people find that undergoing this type of therapy helps them to become closer to that special someone or allow themselves to enjoy pleasure.
Using a holistic approach, clients will be encouraged to speak about their experiences. While there might be some shame and embarrassment when discussing these personal issues, communication is kept open so everyone knows where the boundaries are.
Sex therapy covers a wide range of topics. Every couple or individual is different, which means different topics will need to be explored. However, some of the most common topics are:
Please note that our therapists fully understands the need to keep the topics private, and the topics that are discussed during each session are confidential.
Whether you wish to have a sex therapy session on your own or with your partner, you can. The choice is entirely yours. If you are in a relationship but you do not wish to bring your partner with you, it’s perfectly ok. You can feel at ease, talking about any topics you wish.
Sex therapy can help you to gain an understanding of your sexual needs and desires. Through sex therapy, you will be able to not only identify what your needs are but also how best to express them in a healthy manner. It is normal to feel embarrassed or scared when discussing these topics with someone, but our therapists provide a safe place for individuals and couples to explore their sexual issues.
You may also be able to identify any barriers that are preventing you from having satisfying sex and intimacy with your partner or yourself. It is important to remember that we all have different needs and different bodies, so it can take some time for us to understand what works best for us. Through sex therapy, we can learn how to communicate our needs better and learn how to enjoy ourselves and our partners in a healthy and positive way.
With Heal Your Roots Wellness, you will not only be guaranteed a respectful and confidential space, but also an understanding and supportive one. We encourage each individual and couple to take their own pace during the sessions, so they can feel comfortable enough to talk about any of their issues without worrying about judgement.
The goal of each session is to make sure that everyone leaves feeling empowered and able to take control of their lives, with a renewed sense of confidence in how to have satisfying sex and relationships.
Although marriage therapy and sex therapy may overlap, they are two distinct therapies that focus on different topics. While marriage therapy focuses on the relationship between partners and how to improve it, sex therapy is more concerned with physical intimacy between partners.
Marriage therapy covers issues such as communication problems, anger management, finances, parenting concerns, emotional connection, trust building and understanding the needs and wants of each partner. It is designed to help couples navigate through their relationship issues so they can have a more wholesome marriage.
On the other hand, sex therapy focuses on a couple or individual’s sexual desires and how to achieve satisfaction in an enjoyable way. Through this type of therapy, clients are encouraged to talk about topics such as mismatched sex drives, sexual dysfunction, and any other issues that they are facing.
At Heal Your Roots Wellness, we offer both marriage therapy and sex therapy sessions to help couples or individuals with their relationship and intimacy issues. We understand how important these topics can be for a healthy relationship; which is why we strive to make our clients feel comfortable
