Philosophy:

Treatment for sexual problems is collaborative effort, starting with an assessment, which leads to a treatment plan, agreed upon by therapist and client(s). Sex therapy in most cases is relatively brief, using a cognitive-behavioral approach. Homework including reading and exercises is usually an important component of treatment.
