Evaluation
The evaluation is an opportunity for you to determine what type of therapy is best for you and is also a valuable tool in identifying what conditions are contributing to your concerns. You may want to print this page, highlight your areas of concern, and bring it with you to help your therapist target the areas of most importance to you.
Men's Intimacy/Women's Sexual Health Groups
You must complete an evaluation before being allowed to join either of these groups.
- The men's group focuses on issues of intimacy and sexuality. The prospective group member is either currently having difficulty establishing the desired amount of intimacy in his personal relationship(s) or has had a history of such difficulties.
- The women's group is for women who want to enrich their sexuality and for women addressing issues such as low desire, difficulty with orgasm, pain with sexual activity, or recovery from past abuse.
