Diagnosis and Treatment:

After a careful clinical evaluation, we will determine which sexual dysfunction you are suffering from and develop a treatment plan that will help you. We will begin treatment with a combination of medication management and psychotherapy. We offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which can help alter negative thinking patterns that can affect sexual functioning. We can also work to streamline medication management in the case of sexual side effects caused by medications.
