How I Work
With all my patients, I begin by establishing trust and building rapport that lessens anxiety. This is a gradual and integrative process that is both structured and in the moment; I gauge the appropriate pace based on the person’s specific needs. From there, I employ a variety of skills that teach new behaviors, replacing old “default” tendencies through practical physical application, coaching, and education.
Who I Help
I work with men and women, gay, straight, bisexual and transgender. I assist patients in overcoming a range of issues, including:
- Premature ejaculation
- Erectile dysfunction
- Late virgins
- Social/sexual shyness
- Performance anxiety/lack of confidence and inexperience
- Sexual shame
- Trauma and disassociation from sexual abuse
- Inhibited Sexual Desire (ISD)
- Body image
What I Offer
There are three ways to engage my services:
- A twelve-week Intimacy Behavioral Therapy program designed for those looking to do in-depth work. These are conducted in-person in New York City.
- A sixteen-week Intimacy Behavioral Therapy program specifically designed to help those who are inexperienced, trauma survivors, as well as those who discover they need more sessions to fully accomplish their goals.
- Ongoing therapy sessions to continue to address long-term and emerging intimacy issues and needs
How to Get Started
The first step is to email me at intimacyexpert@yahoo.com to set up a free, 15-30 minute phone consultation to determine if what I offer will be beneficial for you. Please know that anonymity and confidentiality are the cornerstones of my work and this unique therapeutic model. Your privacy will be respected, and protected.
If we determine that the Intimacy Behavioral Therapy™/surrogate partner program is the best course of treatment, I will send you a “terms of agreement” email and, once responded to, we will determine the date for our first session. I require email confirmations at least 24 hours before each session.
