Sex Therapy Psychologists in Beirut

Sex therapy is a talking treatment for sexual difficulties. Those include desire, arousal, pain, difficulty reaching orgasm, or a mismatch between partners.

It usually combines education with exercises done at home. One of them is sensate focus, which separates touch from any expectation of performance ¹.

People come alone or with a partner. It is not a physical examination.

A practitioner may suggest you also see a doctor where there could be a physical cause. Ask what training a practitioner has in this work.

Everyone on this page is listed under the professional title psychologist. Psychologists apply the study of the mind and behaviour to assist people through difficulty. Clinical psychologists work with people of all ages, with families, carers, teams and communities.

Assessment belongs to a psychologist's training, and sits alongside therapy. Clinical, counselling and educational psychology are different training routes. Each route emphasises different work.

Which titles are registered varies by country. Where the title is registered, the register says what it covers. Ask a psychologist which route they trained through, and what they work with most.

Titles you will see include Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Psychologist and Clinical Psychologist. Search the registers by name at Ministry of Public Health, Lebanon (MOPH) or Lebanese Order of Psychologists (LOPsy). Check that the name and title match and that the entry is current. If they do not, ask the practitioner why.
