Let’s talk about
Sex Therapy
Sex is supposed to be intimate and fun, but when sexuality concerns interfere with sexual performance and living out your authentic sexual self, sex can cause frustration, anxiety, guilt, shame, blame, and insecurity, all of which can make sex seem more like a chore than something to be enjoyed.
Explore Your Sexuality, Grow Your Relationship
Welcome to Sex Therapy Matters*. I'm Jeremiah Matters (He/Him) and I'm so glad you found me. As difficult as trying to explore and understand your sexuality may have been for you thus far, my hope as a therapist is to help you explore your sexuality and grow your relationship by helping you and your partner(s) understand the emotions underlying the sexual concern so that you can have more grace, patience, compassion, and understanding for their partner(s). Whether pursuing therapy in a partnered-relationship or by yourself, remember that it took a while to get to this point, so it could take a while to find healing, but don’t lose hope—Call or text me at (949) 524-9362 and start finding relief today.
(*Please note: Although I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist recognized by the State Boards in both California and Nevada, I am still in training and supervision to become a Certified Sex Therapist. See my “About” page and website footer for more information.)
Sex Therapy for Partnered-Relationships
Traditional sex therapy once only focused on the sexual aspect of a partnered-relationship—meaning that the focus was on the content of the sexual concern. Although focusing on the content is a vital aspect of treating sexuality concerns, it cannot be the only focus because there are deep, powerful emotions underlying the sexuality concerns that are often not being expressed in the relationship. In Sex Therapy for Partnered-Relationships, I help partners not only to understand those underlying emotions, but also to give them the tools to learn how to properly express those emotions to each other in a way that will help partners better understand what is going on beneath the sexuality concern and the overt, secondary emotions that are being improperly displaced.

Sex Therapy for Individuals
Although sex therapy typically includes working with partnered-relationships, there are times when individual sex therapy might be more appropriate. Whether the reason is because an individual is not in a partnered-relationship, they are not yet comfortable disclosing their sexuality concern to their partner(s), or any other reason, it is never too late to start getting help in order to explore and understand your sexuality.
