Sexual Health & Dysfunction Therapists in Barrington, Illinois

Sex is often a fun and satisfying part of life, and a wide variety of sexual desires, preferences, and behaviors are considered normal and healthy. However, sex can also become stressful, confusing, or worrisome. Many people face challenges around sexual desire, arousal, satisfaction, or intimacy with their partner(s), which can sometimes be related to physical or medical conditions. Regardless, these struggles can come up for individuals of any sexual orientation, gender identity, or age.

Sexual dysfunction is a category of mental health conditions that includes erectile disorder, genito-pelvic pain disorder, and female orgasmic disorder (to name just a few!). However, any type of issue or concern related to sexual health, diagnosable or not, can lead to symptoms of common mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression. Cultural and social factors can also contribute to sexual concerns, which can lead to self-esteem, stress, or confidence issues. When difficulties like these become a recurring source of worry or interfere with day-to-day life, therapy is one way to help resolve them. Clinicians differ in their approaches to treating sexual challenges; some may have training specifically in sex therapy, while others may use more general approaches to mental health concerns.
