Enhancing Intimacy and Sexual Satisfaction

We recognize the sensitive nature of this work and address concerns related to sexual function with the utmost respect and compassion.

Sex Therapy Approaches We Utilize at Wildflower
At Wildflower, we use a comprehensive, integrative approach to help individuals and couples seek and attain their version of sexual satisfaction.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT is one of the most widely used and effective modalities that helps you modify your thinking patterns and behavior.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness practice encourages an increased awareness of our bodies, thoughts, emotions, and the world around us. This heightened awareness supports individuals’ attunement to sexual stimuli and can help reduce anxiety and increase pleasure and connection between partners.
Sensate Focus
Sensate Focus relieves pressures associated with sexual performance. It involves gradual, non-demanding sensual touch to increase comfort and intimacy among partners.
Psychoeducation
Knowledge about various aspects of sexuality provides individuals and couples with a deeper understanding of the physiological and psychological aspects of sexual functioning. This can normalize feelings of confusion and relieve shame that often accompany sexual challenges.
Kink/BDSM/Polyamory/Consensual Non-Monogamy-Affirmative Therapy
Sex positive and affirming care is imperative to effective sex therapy. We recognize, respect, and honor the diversity of human sexuality and empower individuals and couples to fully embrace their authentic sexual selves.
Couples Therapy
Delving deeper into the complexities of sexuality and intimacy within the context of a partnership allows for the opportunity to comprehensively address both relationship and sexual concerns.
