Welcome to the
West Coast Sex Therapy Center
What is Sex Therapy?
Sex Therapists are licensed mental health professionals, trained to provide in-depth psychotherapy, who have specialized in treating clients with sexual issues and concerns.
Sexual concerns are legitimate and important. Therefore, individuals have a right to expect serious attention and expert knowledge when they consult therapists about sexual questions.
Sex Therapists focus their specialized skills to help individuals and or couples to deal with their sexual issues.

- Low Desire & Desire Discrepancies
