Sex is only the beginning.
Intimacy Counseling
If you’re having challenges developing intimacy with your partner, Chris Anderson has the experience and the credentials to help you build it back up. My practice is based in Orlando, Florida and I can assist anyone through Florida via online therapy.
While sex therapy is usually about … well … sex, intimacy counseling takes a giant step back and looks at the the types of issues getting in the way in your relationship.
Trust issues, communication issues, and past traumas are not uncommon. Each of these can play a role in keeping you and your partner from achieving a higher level of enjoyment from your relationship.
And it all works together. Improving the issues that are generating distance in your relationship helps improve your sex life, which then improves overall intimacy, and around and up we go.
Intimacy Counseling Promotes Emotional Closeness
Intimacy therapy usually involves both members of a relationship, but that’s not always the case.
The most important part is to start. Alone or together.
As with most couples related counseling, each of us is able to independently improve the situation.
So reach out today to get a better sense of what intimacy counseling is all about.
Specially Trained in Intimacy Counseling
I was trained to work with sexual issues in my Marriage and Family Therapy Master’s program.
I received additional education and training at the American Academy of Clinical Sexology to become a certified Sex Therapist. This training covered a wide variety of issues pertaining to human sexuality, and gave me the tools to help people in this area. I am very sex positive and open-minded when it comes to issues you might be facing in this topic.
My 8 years of therapeutic experience have often put me in the position of working through sexual issues with people in a number of different ways.
