Sex Therapist Philadelphia

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.

Who Needs Sex Therapy?

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.

What Does Sex Therapy Cover?

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:

  • Abuse or trauma (Emotional, physical, sexual, or verbal)
  • Mismatched sex drive
  • Performance anxiety
  • Fear of intimacy
  • Low sexual desire
  • Delayed or premature ejaculation
  • Pain during sex
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Shame or guilt
  • And any other issues or topics that you wish to discuss

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.

Talking About Difficult Topics

There may, of course, be topics that are difficult for you to discuss. Do not worry, you will be encouraged to talk about them when you are ready. You can talk about everything that is causing you concern or one thing at a time. The choice is yours and you can decide when you want to talk about anything. Learning to communicate about your feelings, desires, and needs is a skill that Kira can help you develop.

Heal Your Roots Wellness therapists are  experienced therapists and have helped many people. Our therapists used to working with those who wish to talk about sensitive sexual issues; and they will do their best to put you at ease, so you feel more inclined to talk about any sensitive topic that is concerning you.

Misconceptions Surrounding Sex Therapy

Sex therapy has many misconceptions. This is why it is important to dispel them so you know what to expect. When you know what sex therapy really involves, you’ll find it easier to attend each session either in person or virtually.

During the sex therapy session, there will be no physical examinations, no nudity, and no touching between the therapist and the client or clients. You will not be pressured to do or say anything you do not want to do.

In many respects sex therapy is like a lot of other types of therapy, it is just the topic that is slightly different

Our therapists are licensed to see clients residing in Delaware and Pennsylvania. Sign up for our mailing list to be informed when we start accepting clients in other states.

What can I expect during my first session of therapy?

The first few sessions of individual, couples and sex therapy are for us to get to know one another. Our therapists will develop an understanding of who you are, what your concerns are, and what your life has looked like recently while you get familiar with your therapist, and their therapeutic approach. During this session we will take our time learning about all the different aspects of your life and upbringing.

Do you offer in-person sessions for therapy?

No, we are a digital first therapy and wellness destination. We only provide telehealth therapy, also known as online therapy. These are the same type of therapists you would meet with in person, but by providing telehealth services, we can provide our services to clients all over Pennsylvania - no longer requiring you to drive into the city, find parking, and then drive back afterwords. Telehealth therapy provides you with flexibility and access to amazing therapists all over Pennsylvania.

What is therapy like with you?

Our therapists are real people and won’t silently nod and say hmm and that’s interesting the entire session. We are here to support, guide, and sit with you in any emotion that comes up. We use humor and empathy to build connections while being direct in challenging you to grow. We are open to feedback and your honesty about what works and doesn’t work for you personally.
