Couples and Sexology
Approach
For couples, I use a systematic model that allows me to observe both members of the relationship and evaluate how they interact, with the aim of intervening in the various areas that require attention.
From a sexology perspective, my focus is on resolving both male and female sexual issues, whether individually or as a couple. I also address your questions about sexuality and correct misconceptions using detailed, comprehensive, and easy-to-understand information.
How It Works?
I consider the implementation of key tools, such as active listening, interviews, and specific assessments (if necessary). Together, we develop an action plan that includes key strategies tailored to each couple, allowing for conflict resolution, as well as other techniques to promote a better and healthier way of relating to each other.
Considered Steps
Initially, I conduct an analysis of the situation through the interview process, which allows me to obtain a reference of the functioning areas of each member of the couple. The first session is held separately to respect privacy and allow each individual to express their thoughts. Once the necessary information is obtained, both partners are involved in the process. Depending on the method to be used, subsequent sessions can be conducted with both members of the couple or alternated as needed. A personalized action plan is designed, which will be monitored through subsequent sessions to assess progress. It’s worth noting that in my sessions, the goal is not to favor one member of the couple over the other. The sessions are designed to treat both partners equally, equitably, and professionally, ensuring that both feel supported and can address their difficulties.
Issues Addressed in My Sessions
I address a range of issues in my sessions, including relationship problems, marital difficulties, infidelity, separation, divorce, and coping with the loss of a partner. I also work with sexual dysfunctions and sexual phobias. For men, this may involve erectile dysfunction, delayed ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and hypoactive sexual desire disorder (low or reduced sexual desire). For women, I address female orgasmic disorder, female sexual interest/arousal disorder, and genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder (pain during penetration), among other concerns.
Characteristics That May Lead You to Seek Help
You may consider seeking help for your relationship or sexual concerns if you’re experiencing constant fights or arguments with your partner, physical, verbal, or psychological aggression, harassment, sexual assault, emotional manipulation, lack of respect in the relationship, infidelity, severe communication problems, depression, anxiety, work-related stress, social stress, or family-related stress that directly affects the relationship. You might also seek help for sexual concerns such as sexual obsessions, sexual aversion, sex addiction, cybersex, vaginismus, painful intercourse, sexual dissatisfaction, sexual phobias like herotophobia (fear of erotica and sexuality), paraphilias, doubts about sexual orientation, and other related issues.
