Other Services
We treat people referred to
us for all kinds of reasons.
Here's what we treat,
besides sexual dysfunction:
Marital therapy
Do you and your partner
argue because of lack of
desire? Or are you just
plain sad that your sex
drive doesn’t match up with
your partner’s? Lack of
desire, or low libido, is
the most common sexual
complaint. Unfortunately,
there is no magic pill or
bullet! With a bit of
exploration, though, you can
often find out how to
re-ignite sexual interest
and zest.
Mood Disorders
All therapists at the
Institute are expert in
helping people with mood
disorders like depression,
bipolar disorder, and
cyclothymia. We use a
cognitive behavioral
approach to help decrease
symptoms quickly, then
address underlying concerns.
We regularly work with
psychiatrists to whom we
make referrals when
appropriate.
Anxiety Disorders
We work with people who have
generalized anxiety, panic
attacks, and obsessive
compulsive disorder. We also
work with people who have
symptoms of Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD)
outside of our regular work
with people who were
sexually, emotionally, or
physically abused as
children.
Substance Abuse
Michael Smith, LMFT has
extensive training in
working with people who have
addictions of all kinds. He
currently works for the
Orange County Health Care
Agency as an addictions
counselor.
Somatic Disorder
Dr. Buehler has worked
with children and teens with
cancer at Children's
Hospital of San Diego. In
private practice, she
pioneered an integrated
wellness center with an
endocrinologist. She has
worked with teens and adults
with all kinds of health
problems, including
diabetes, MS, fibromyalgia,
IBS, chronic pain of all
kinds, and cancer of all
types. She can help people
to manage stress, cope with
the burden of illness, and
optimize their well-being.
She is one of a handful of
psychologists who has
specialized training in
helping people with chronic
illness and cancer optimize
their sex lives.
Hypnosis
Finding a credible
person who does hypnosis can
be very difficult. Dr.
Buehler has certification
from the American Society of
Clinical Hypnosis, which
only trains people with a
master's degree or better in
psychology. She uses
hypnosis for sexual
dysfunction, but can also
help you with other problems
like insomnia, smoking, IBS,
pain management, etc. If you
want to know more about
hypnosis, please visit
www.asch.net to see if this
is something you would like
to try.
Forensic Help
Dr. Buehler can review
records and testify as an
expert witness in cases that
involve sexual dysfunction
or sexual abuse. Please
contact the Institute for
details.
