We all have our fair share of obstacles when it comes to sex and relationships, but sometimes that can lead to anxiety, trauma and other issues. The good news is therapy can help. With the support of a trained professional, you can learn new coping skills and tackle tough conversations related to body image, infidelity, fertility, and gender exploration - just to name a few.
