Sex Therapy
Sex therapy, or sex counseling, is a specialized form of therapy that addresses concerns related to sexual functioning, expression, and communication about sex. Many individuals encounter sexual challenges at various stages of their lives, and it’s important to recognize that these issues are often manageable and can be effectively resolved. Our approach provides a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your concerns openly, gain insight into your experiences, and develop strategies to enhance your sexual well-being. Whether you’re dealing with specific sexual difficulties or seeking to improve your overall intimacy, our goal is to help you navigate these challenges with compassion and understanding
How We Help
At CRIWB, our sex therapy approach is grounded in a holistic, integrative framework that addresses the physical, emotional, somatic, and spiritual dimensions of sexual health. We understand that sexual challenges often stem from complex interplays between mind, body, and spirit, so our work encompasses these layers to support a comprehensive path to healing and fulfillment. Here’s how we help:
Somatic Awareness and Healing
We focus on the body’s role in sexual experiences, teaching somatic techniques to help you reconnect with physical sensations, release stored tension, and cultivate pleasure in your body. Through practices such as breathwork, mindful touch, and grounding exercises, we guide you to deepen your body awareness and embody presence, enhancing your capacity for pleasure.
Holistic Understanding of Sexuality
We view sexuality as a multidimensional experience influenced by health, relationships, personal beliefs, and past experiences. In therapy, we explore how these factors impact your sexual well-being, from self-perception to relational dynamics, creating a tailored approach that resonates with your unique experiences and aspirations.
Spiritual Exploration
For those interested, we incorporate a spiritual perspective into sex therapy, exploring how sexuality can connect to larger life values, meaning, and self-transcendence. Whether drawing from your spiritual tradition or personal beliefs, we help you align your intimate experiences with a sense of inner peace and authenticity.
Integrative Therapeutic Tools
Our therapy combines insights from evidence-based practices, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for reworking limiting beliefs and mindfulness techniques to reduce anxiety, with somatic and experiential exercises. This integrative approach not only addresses specific issues but also supports you in cultivating a richer, more fulfilling relationship with your sexuality.
Personalized and Culturally Sensitive Support
We understand that everyone’s sexual experiences are shaped by cultural, societal, and individual factors. Our therapists offer an inclusive, non-judgmental space to explore these influences and honor the role they play in your sexual self.
Whether you’re looking to overcome a specific challenge, deepen your connection with a partner, or explore new dimensions of your sexuality, our sex therapy services are designed to support meaningful and transformative change.
Modern Tantric Practices
At CRIWB, we incorporate principles from modern tantric practices to help you reconnect to your body and cultivate deeper intimacy. Tantric techniques, with their focus on mindful awareness, embodiment, and energy flow, offer powerful tools for exploring and enhancing your connection to both yourself and your partner.
Please note: While we draw from the principles of modern tantric practices, our approach at CRIWB is entirely secular and not tied to any religious or spiritual doctrine.
Embodied Presence and Breathwork:
Tantra encourages slowing down and becoming fully present, which can transform how you experience intimacy. Through guided breathwork and body awareness practices, we help you tune into sensations, dissolve distractions, and stay anchored in the moment, cultivating a state of deep relaxation and open-hearted connection.
Energy Awareness and Flow:
By learning to recognize and work with your body’s natural energy, you can tap into new sources of vitality and pleasure. Our therapists guide you in gentle practices that focus on moving and balancing energy, allowing you to experience deeper levels of connection and fulfillment that go beyond traditional notions of sexual pleasure.
Sacred Intimacy Practices:
Drawing on tantric principles of honoring and mindful touch, we explore ways to foster mutual respect, love, and reverence within relationships. Through these practices, you learn how to create a space where each partner feels seen, valued, and supported, helping to foster emotional security and trust.
Expanding Beyond Physical Intimacy:
Tantra also teaches that intimacy goes beyond physical acts. We guide you in creating rituals of devotion and mutual appreciation that deepen emotional and spiritual bonds. By broadening your experience of intimacy, you can create a more profound, holistic connection that strengthens your relationship both in and outside the bedroom.
These tantric-inspired approaches, blended with our holistic, integrative therapy model, allow you to explore your sexuality with authenticity, enhance relational intimacy, and develop a vibrant connection to your body and spirit. Whether you’re looking to overcome a specific sexual concern or to deepen your personal or relational journey, we’re here to support you with compassionate, tailored guidance.
