Question 1

Is sex therapy a form of talk therapy?

Accepted Answer

It is a fair thing to want to know before you book.

On Alma, filter therapists in Simi Valley who help with intimacy and sexual health by format and ask your questions when you reach out.

Question 2

Will talking about sex with a therapist feel awkward?

On Alma, read profiles of sex therapists in Simi Valley and save the ones whose tone feels right to you.

Question 3

Can my partner and I see a sex therapist together?

Question 4

Should I see a doctor or a therapist for sexual concerns?

Accepted Answer

On Alma, read how therapists in Simi Valley who help with intimacy and sexual health describe their approach to care.

Question 5

What kinds of concerns can I bring to a sex therapist?

Question 8

How long do people usually see a sex therapist?

Question 9
