Clinical Sexology: Sex Counseling, Coaching & Education

As a Clinical Sexologist and Certified Sex Counselor (AASECT), I offer a short-term series of sessions to help clients manage complex sexual concerns and improve their intimate lives. This work can complement other medical and mental health treatment. 

Sexologists specialize in a multi-disciplinary study of human sexuality: "what people do and how they feel about it." Clinical sexologists use this broad training to inform their work with clients. An important component of this training includes "Sexual Attitude Readjustment" (SAR) programs which are designed to combat myths and preconceptions the student may have about human sexual expression. In order to best meet each client's needs, the Clinical Sexologist must become informed about most aspects of human sexual expression, and cultivate "sex-positive" and nonjudgmental professional capacities. 

Sexological counseling and education is appropriate for almost anyone experiencing sexual difficulties or problems with social or self acceptance of their sexual behavior or gender expression.

Sexological counseling is focused, behavior based, and usually short-term. It is not a substitute for psychotherapy or licensed professional counseling. The sexological outlook is sex and pleasure positive, and does not seek to change a person's basic nature or orientation. In some cases, however, a person may need extensive help in managing sexual desires and behaviors that are risky, destructive, or illegal. In such cases, a referral to a psychotherapist is advisable. 

If you are a health or mental health professional who would like more information about working with me as a Clinical Sexologist or Consulting Hypnotist, please contact me to request a brochure or an informational appointment by phone or in person. 

Hypnotism for Sexual Concerns

As a Consulting Hypnotist, I assist clients in changing behaviors, habits and self-perception through the use of positive suggestions given in a light to medium trance state. In this way, hypnotism is often used in conjunction with other modalities to improve self-esteem, support healthy habits and a positive outlook.

Hypnotism can be used with Sexological Counseling to help the client explore inner barriers to sexual pleasure and intimacy; to cope with somatic reactions related to sexuality; to manage sexual behaviors and habits; to recapture memories of sensual joy; to improve body image and self-perception; to combat worry and instill confidence; and so on. Hypnotism assists those who desire positive transformation in their intimate lives. Hypnotism is a proven healing modality, and its use in Sexological Counseling is yet another powerful application. 

As a Consulting Hypnotist, I can work in collaboration with other helping professionals, providing hypnosis as a complementary modality.
