Now Offering Sex Therapy: Why You or Your Relationship Might Benefit

 Helene Guerin Sex therapist at central and stanley wellness

We’re thrilled to introduce Helene, our new certified sex therapist, trained in Sexotherapy by the esteemed French school CERFPA. Helene brings a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to therapy, focusing on helping individuals and couples explore and improve their sexual, emotional, and relational well-being. Her expertise spans a wide range of concerns, from enhancing intimacy and overcoming dysfunction to healing from past trauma and navigating shifts in sexual identity.

Sex therapy is often misunderstood, yet it can be a transformative tool for individuals and couples facing challenges in their intimate lives. Rooted in a non-judgmental, supportive approach, sex therapy can help people of all backgrounds find deeper satisfaction, improved connection, and greater self-awareness.

1. Enhancing Communication and Intimacy

Communication is essential to healthy relationships, yet it can be especially difficult when it comes to discussing intimacy. Couples might struggle with mismatched desires, feelings of disconnection, or frustration over unmet needs. Sex therapy provides techniques to improve communication, making it easier to express feelings, desires, and boundaries without fear or shame. Enhanced communication often leads to stronger bonds, greater understanding, and renewed connection.

2. Navigating Life Transitions

Major life changes—such as childbirth, aging, illness, or changes in relationship status—can impact one’s sexual life. For some, these transitions can lead to feelings of inadequacy, loss, or confusion. Sex therapy helps individuals and couples navigate these shifts, offering tools to adjust and find new ways to connect intimately.

3. Understanding and Affirming Sexual Identity

Sexuality is complex and personal, and for many, it may take time to understand and embrace one's identity fully. Whether exploring questions of orientation or affirming one’s sexual identity, sex therapy offers a confidential space to work through these topics. By fostering self-acceptance, therapy can lead to a more authentic life and greater overall fulfillment.

4. Healing from Past Trauma

For individuals with a history of trauma, whether related to previous relationships, childhood experiences, or other painful events, sex therapy provides a compassionate approach to healing. Trauma-informed sex therapy acknowledges these histories and offers tools to process, release, and heal so that intimacy can become a safe and fulfilling experience.

5. Addressing Sexual Dysfunction

Many people experience sexual dysfunction at some point in their lives, which may include issues like low libido, erectile dysfunction, or difficulty achieving satisfaction. Rather than ignoring these challenges or feeling shame, sex therapy offers a space to explore potential physical, psychological, or relational causes. Working with a therapist can help identify underlying issues and provide strategies to address them.
