Relief for Your Sexual
Problems
Not sure we can help? We
offer relief for all kinds
of people with all kinds of
problems. Because we believe
most problems happen in
relationships, we specialize
in couples therapy for help with
problems both in and out of
the bedroom. But if you are
single and struggling with a
sexual concern, or just feel
you need to come in by
yourself, that’s okay, too.
If you want to talk to us
about whether we can help,
call
800-769-0342. We only treat
those sexual problems we are
expert in; please meet our
staff to see our backgrounds
as therapists.
Wanting More Sexual Desire
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.

Couples Therapy for Sexual
Problems
Couples have many
different reasons for
seeking help besides low
desire. Sometimes one
partner wants a different
kind of sexual behavior that
one partner doesn’t.
Partners may have trouble
negotiating an alternative
lifestyle. You may have gone
through a big life change
like a long separation and
are having trouble being
sexual. Here you can find
competent, compassionate
couples therapy that goes
beyond just teaching a
technique but gets at the
heart and soul of what needs
to change to make love
better.

Wanting to Experience Orgasm
This problem is also common,
most often for women.
Sometimes women call on us
for help when they've never
been able to achieve orgasm;
sometimes they want to
reclaim an experience lost
to them due to a
relationship gone sour,
divorce, or some other
experience that made it
difficult to feel pleasure.
You’ll learn how to have a
better feeling overall about
your body, to learn how to
use your mind for pleasure,
and techniques to make it
all work the way you hope.

Eliminating Erectile
Dysfunction
Are you a man who
doesn’t care to or can’t use
medication erectile
dysfunction? You can get
help from us. You’ll get
lots of information and
guidance on how to maintain
an erection or last longer
for more enjoyable sex. (Dr.
Buehler worked with
Marines—she’s pretty good at
making men feel comfortable
in therapy!) If you are able
to use medication, though,
and are not getting the
results you want, there may
be an underlying sexual
concern that needs to be
addressed.

Having More Comfortable
Intercourse
Did you know that 10% of
women experience
uncomfortable or painful
sex? Painful sex is not
normal! Conditions like
vaginismus, vulvodynia, and
dyspareunia are hard to
diagnose. Often, women with
these painful conditions
only learn what they are
when they come to the
Institute. We can direct you
to healthcare providers who
can provide appropriate
medical treatment or
physical therapy. But did
you know that you can learn
many techniques, such as
relaxation, visualization,
and the use of dilators to
make intercourse more
comfortable as well? Dr.
Buehler and Ms. Seeberger
recently wrote an article
published in the
National Vulvodynia
Association newsletter
on how sex therapy works to
help women who experience
uncomfortable sex.
Improving Premature
Ejaculation
Are you annoyed or
frustrated by lack of
ejaculatory control? We also
work with men who want to
have longer, more satisfying
intercourse. Premature
ejaculation, also called
rapid or early ejaculation,
is a common problem that can
affect quality of life for
both you and your partner.
If you can't last as long as
you'd like, you can learn
techniques that will help
you and your partner have
gratifying intercourse.

Sexual Addictions
Sexual
addictions—especially to
Internet pornography—are
becoming increasingly
common. Instant access and
clever pornographers make it
easy to fall into the trap
of using pornography for
sexual gratification, rather
than turning to a loving
partner. Other types of
sexual problems that
interfere with normal sexual
and emotional functioning
include multiple affairs,
anonymous sex, sex in
questionably legal
circumstances,
exhibitionism, frotterism
(sneaky touching), and so
forth.

Re-starting Sex after
Pregnancy
The “6 week rule” is a
myth of pregnancy. Somehow,
magically, you’re supposed
to feel the return of
passion after 6 weeks. This
is very unlikely due to lack
of sleep and the baby’s
demands! If you want to
learn how to reconnect after
baby, we have lots of ideas.

Overcoming Sexual Problems
Due to Infertility
The demands of fertility
treatment can also bring
about struggles with sex.
You may find that sex
becomes mechanical, or that
there are problems with
performance that were never
there before. But you can
learn how to cope with
infertility and have a
satisfying sex life.

Coping with Changes after
Illness, Pain, or Cancer
No question, these
experiences can leave one’s
sexuality bruised. But you
can learn how to be sexual
with one another despite
changes or limitations. No,
your sex life may not be the
same—but it can still be
satisfying.
Childhood Sexual Abuse
Have you had sexual
experiences that have left
you sad or fearful about
sex? You are not alone. We
see men, women, and couples
who want to reclaim their
sex lives. With gentle
patience, you can have
sexual pleasure again,
without worry or shame.

Unique Sexual Concerns
You have a concern you
don’t want to discuss with
just anyone. It’s private.
Don’t worry, there’s not
much we haven’t heard
before.

We treat other common
problems, too.
