Low Desire: Navigating the Depths of Intimacy

Low sexual desire is a common issue that many couples face at some point in their relationship. It can be caused by various factors, including stress, hormonal imbalances, relationship issues, or past trauma. When left unaddressed, low desire can lead to emotional disconnect and dissatisfaction within the relationship.

Our sex therapy program at Ascension Counseling is designed to help couples explore the root causes of low desire and develop strategies to reignite their passion and intimacy. We provide a non-judgmental and understanding space where you and your partner can openly discuss your desires, fears, and concerns.

Sexual Dysfunction: Overcoming Physical Barriers to Intimacy

Sexual dysfunction, such as erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation, can be incredibly frustrating and disheartening for both partners. These physical issues can lead to feelings of inadequacy and a decline in self-esteem.

Our sex therapy program at Ascension Counseling provides a safe and empathetic environment for couples to address and overcome sexual dysfunction. Our experienced therapists can offer techniques and strategies to manage and resolve these physical barriers to intimacy, allowing you to rekindle the flame of passion in your relationship.

In our sex therapy program, we work with couples to improve communication around their desires and preferences. We help you find common ground and develop strategies to meet each other’s needs, creating a more harmonious and satisfying sexual connection.

Lack of Intimacy: Reconnecting on an Emotional Level

Emotional or physical disconnection can lead to a lack of intimacy, affecting the overall health of your relationship. It’s essential to rebuild emotional closeness and physical affection to maintain a fulfilling connection.

Our sex therapy program focuses on helping couples reconnect on both emotional and physical levels. We provide strategies and exercises to enhance intimacy, rebuild trust, and rekindle the passion in your relationship.

Infidelity: Healing and Rebuilding Trust

Infidelity can be one of the most painful and challenging experiences in a relationship. Recovering from infidelity requires patience, understanding, and professional guidance.
