Sex therapy starts with a comprehensive initial evaluation that assesses your medical background (including medical conditions, medication use, and substance use), mental health, social and relationship history, and cultural background. Treatment entails education, anxiety reduction and desensitization techniques, communication training, and a variety of evidence-based cognitive and behavioral interventions.
