Many women quietly wonder whether something is wrong with them because they rarely want sex, or because desire has faded since marriage, children or midlife. Low desire is one of the most common concerns we see, and it is very rarely a sign that you are “broken”.
Popular culture shows desire as something that appears out of nowhere. For many women, especially in long-term relationships, desire is responsive: it appears after closeness, touch or arousal has begun, not before. If you have been waiting to “feel like it” first, you may have concluded that your desire has disappeared, when in fact it simply needs a different starting point.
We start by listening to your story without judgement. Then we look at the brakes and accelerators in your life: what shuts desire down, and what helps it grow. Therapy may include education, mindfulness, communication tools, sensate focus with a partner, and addressing pain or medical issues with the right specialist.
