What Is Sex Therapy Near Me vs. Sex Coaching?
I love this question SO much! A lot of people think I only doing Sex Therapy in Minnesota, and that couldn’t be further from the truth. As a sex therapist, I’ve gotten training from UW-Stout certificate coursework to treat DSM-5 sexual functioning disorders. As a sex coach, I’ve done plenty of research, knowledge, and creation of tools to help those who want to have their best sex life, with all the sexual self care tools! Sex therapy a lot of times is about the past, whereas coaching, is more about creating the best sex life of your future!
