Do you wish you could feel more intimate with your partner? Has your sexual relationship lost it's passion and sense of connection? Do you wonder where your desire and excitement went and would rather read a book or watch t.v. than be sensual or sexual with your partner? If so, you might want to call Suki Hanfling for a free 15-20 minute phone consultation to explore whether couples/sex therapy with ISI staff might be helpful.

Occupation: AASECT Certified Diplomate & Sex Tx.
Interests: The Institute for Sexuality & Intimacy (ISI) offers treatment of sexual dissatisfaction, sexual dysfunction, and sexual addiction. We treat heterosexual, gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals and couples. Our treatment approach emphasizes the individual growth of each partner as well as the enhancement of the couple relationship. We work with both members of a couple whenever possible. We have found that when one partner experiences sexual difficulties, the other partner generally influences and is affected by these problems. However, it is possible to successfully conduct sex therapy with an individual.
Although there are often multiple factors contributing to sexual difficulties, we begin sex therapy by addressing the most immediate and specific causes, such as communication difficulties, being “time starved” due to life’s stresses, and performance anxiety. When indicated, therapy can then focus on more complex causes, including difficulties with trust, control, and intimacy.
