Christian Sex Therapy

A therapist who understands your world view is important in bringing wholeness. Andrew is seeking certification through the American Board of Christian Sex Therapists (ABCST)  and ascribes to the ABCST Statement of Faith and General Statement of Sexuality.

Sex therapy is psychotherapy or talk therapy. Sexual concerns or disfunctions are discussed, and education and coaching are provided to help overcome obstacles. ​

When unable to control pornography use or other out of control sexual behaviors, psychotherapy can help. Assessment and treatment is available for the individual who struggles with the shame and frustration of sexual addiction. 

Sex therapy assists couples and individuals in addressing sexual concerns while bring healing and wholeness. Walking with a trained therapist is important in healing. Some of the most common issues addressed in sex therapy are desire discrepancies, arousal issues, male and female sexual disorders, sexual anxiety, sexual trauma, and distress about sexual preferences.​​​

Discovering that a spouse has been battling sexual addiction creates deep trauma that is difficult to put into words. Recovery is a process and should include both support, education, and trauma treatment. 

A variety of factors, including physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual issues, can contribute to or give rise to sexual challenges. Typically, sex therapy includes tasks that individuals or couples complete at home in between sessions. These tasks often focus on communication, physical and sexual education, reducing anxiety, fostering curiosity, and exploring sensations and perceptions. Sex therapy never includes touch.​​​​

Seeking help for sexual issues can  cause anxiety, fear, or shame. For Christians it is vital to know that the provider you work with knows, understands, and honors your beliefs. There is a peace of mind that comes from knowing that your provider shares your beliefs and that sexual issues will be handled within a Christian framework.
