You can feel free to talk about one thing at a time or talk about everything that is troubling you. The choice is ultimately yours and it’s your decision whether you want to talk about things that are causing you concern.
If you are struggling with intimacy, are afraid of being intimate, or you have other sexual concerns, you might need sex therapy. Please note, you will not be asked to undergo any physical examinations. You will also not be asked to be nude, and there will be absolutely no touching between you and the therapist or you and your partner. During the session, the therapist will sit in a chair and you will be sat opposite. You will not be under any pressure to talk about or do anything that you do not want to do.

Kira Yakubov understands that you might need to discuss some issues that make you feel uncomfortable. Do not worry, Kira has a lot of experience with this type of therapy.

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.
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.
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 to judge whether the therapist is the right one for you, and learn more about the services they provide.
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, 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 sex therapy sessions can be paid for by your insurance company. 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.
