Question 1

What happens in a session with a sex therapist?

On Alma, read profiles of sex therapists in Auburn to see how each one describes their sessions.

Question 2

Will talking about sex with a therapist feel awkward?

Question 3

Can I see a sex therapist without my partner?

Question 4

Do I need a medical checkup before seeing a sex therapist?

On Alma, browse sex therapists in Auburn and raise it when you reach out.

Question 5

What can I talk about with a sex therapist?

It can be hard to know whether your concern belongs in sex therapy.

Question 9

How many sessions with a sex therapist will I need?

Question 10

What if the first therapist is not the right fit?
