This page lists Sex Therapy Family Therapists in Los Angeles. 3 in all.
What sex therapy involves, and what it is not
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.
What a family therapist does, and who comes to the sessions
Everyone on this page describes their work as family or systemic therapy. Family therapy helps people in close relationships understand and support each other 2. It works with the relationships between people, not with one person alone.
Family here means whoever those involved count as family. Sessions usually have more than one person in the room.
A therapist may also meet members on their own 3. Ask a practitioner who they would want in the room.
