SEX THERAPY

We take a sex-positive approach to supporting individuals and couples in exploring intimacy, navigating desire, and building positive sexual connections through talk therapy. Whether you’re looking for a place to celebrate your sexuality, explore or expand pleasure in your relationship, or explore new desires and ideas, you are welcome here.

Support for intimacy, pleasure, and connection, without shame.

Sex therapy is a safe space to explore your relationship with sexuality, desire, and connection. Whether you’re navigating a specific concern or simply want to better understand yourself or your relationship, we offer affirming, trauma-informed talk therapy for individuals and couples. We welcome all sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship structures.

At the Idaho Institute of Gender and Sex Therapy, we take a sex-positive approach to mental health by approaching therapy sessions with respect, compassion, and zero judgment. Our goal is to help you move toward more clarity, confidence, and fulfillment in your intimate life.

What brings people to sex therapy?

There’s no one reason to seek sex therapy. Some people come in feeling disconnected from their bodies, stuck in patterns of shame, or struggling with desire. Others are navigating arousal or orgasm difficulties, dealing with sexual pain, or working through mismatched desire in a relationship. Many just want a place to talk about sex where they don’t have to hold back or filter.

We work with people who are:

  • Experiencing low or fluctuating desire
  • Dealing with arousal or orgasm concerns
  • Navigating erectile or performance issues
  • Coping with sexual pain or discomfort
  • Recovering from sexual shame or trauma
  • Exploring kink, fantasy, BDSM, or sexual identity
  • Wanting to build more intimacy in their relationship
  • Addressing desire mismatch in couples or polycules

Sex therapy is for anyone who wants to feel more connected—to their body, their partner(s), and their own sense of sexual agency.

What We Can Explore in Sex Therapy

Sex therapy, a form of talk therapy, is a space to show up as you are, and uncover what matters most.

Sex therapy can be short-term and focused or part of a broader healing journey. Our therapists are trained to help you explore the emotional, relational, and physiological aspects of sexual wellbeing. We welcome open conversations about desire, arousal, pleasure, identity, and more, with no assumptions about what intimacy “should” look like.

Sex therapy is similar to our mental health talk therapy services, but we focus on talking about topics related to sex and intimacy, and how those topics are affecting your life. We’ll talk about what matters to you, whether that’s arousal, desire, communication, body image, or something else. Our therapists guide the conversation with care, never pressure.

For billing, we accept most insurance plans or have private pay options. In most cases, no, your employer will not know you’re in therapy, unless you are on a self–funded plan. Even then, your specific therapy details (diagnosis, session notes, etc.) are private.

When you reach out, we’ll ask a few questions about what you’re looking for and any preferences you may have. Then we thoughtfully match you with a therapist on our team whose approach, training, and availability fit your needs. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll do our best to offer helpful referrals.

Most therapy sessions last between 55 to 60 minutes, whether they are in-person or telehealth sessions.
