Question 1

What is sex therapy, and do I need a referral first?

Accepted Answer

If you are not sure what sex therapy involves, it helps to know it is talk therapy about intimacy, desire, pain, or related concerns. You typically do not need a referral to start a conversation, and a licensed therapist can explain their approach. On Alma, browse therapists in Allen who help with intimacy and sexual health and read how each one works.

Question 2

How much do I have to share in a first session?

On Alma, compare sex therapists in Allen and reach out to the ones who feel approachable.

Question 4

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

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

Question 5

What can I talk about with a sex therapist?
