Frequently Asked Questions
Sex therapy combines psychological, educational, and sometimes medical approaches to address sexual problems. Some common techniques include:
Psychoeducation: Providing information about sexual health, anatomy, and the sexual response cycle.
Narrative therapy: Helping clients reframe negative thoughts and reauthor their narrative about sex that may contribute to dysfunction.
Mindfulness and somatic based interventions: These help couples become more attuned to their physical sensations and reduce anxiety around sexual activity.
Communication strategies: Improving how partners talk about their sexual needs and desires.
Sex therapy provides a safe, professional environment where couples can work toward a more fulfilling intimate relationship, with guidance and support. Whether you're dealing with specific sexual dysfunctions or simply want to deepen your connection with your partner, Zillennial Intimacy offers a safe space to explore these issues and find solutions together.
A sex therapist is a licensed mental health professional who treats sexual dysfunctions, trauma, and psychological issues through traditional therapeutic approaches. Sex therapy helps you understand and heal past issues affecting your sexuality. In contrast, intimacy coaching focuses on present-day concerns and future goals, providing practical guidance and education to enhance sexual satisfaction and achieve specific relationship goals.
Although Maddie Hundley, for example, is a licenced marriage and family therapist. She is only licensed to practice therapy in the state of California & Texas and thus, services outside of California & Texas must be coaching services.
