NOTHING CHANGES IF NOTHING CHANGES
Deb Yeager, LCSW, CST
In sex therapy, like many other forms of counseling, I focus on talk therapy. This means meeting regularly with me to discuss and explore ways to overcome the specific sexual challenges you're facing. It's important to understand that sex therapy does not involve any sexual or physical contact between us—it's solely about talking and working together to find solutions.
As your sex therapist, I bring knowledge and expertise in human sexuality, and diverse lifestyles, addressing issues such as sexual functioning, intimacy struggles, desire disorders, desire discrepancies, trauma, sexual compulsivity, and gender dysphoria. My role is to diagnose the psychological factors contributing to your sexual concerns and collaborate with you to develop effective strategies for understanding your sexual self. Whether you're navigating these issues as an individual or as part of a couple, I often assign homework to help reinforce what we discuss in sessions and enhance your progress through practice.
Before starting therapy, it's usually recommended to undergo a medical evaluation to rule out any physical causes that might be affecting your sexual health. Resolving underlying medical issues can sometimes lead to improvements in sexual function. However, if changes are permanent due to illness or other factors, such as altered sensations or pain during sex, it can deeply affect your self-esteem and how you view yourself sexually.
Finding ways to maintain sexual activity, understanding your partner's role in this journey, and adjusting to a new normal are all important aspects we can explore together. Discussing these topics can be sensitive and uncomfortable, which is why creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing is essential for our work together in therapy.
*Any therapist can call themselves a sex therapist. Certification requires extra schooling and supervised hours of training.
