“I understand that talking about sex can be difficult and can feel really uncomfortable. My priority is your comfort, wellbeing and finding answers. For whatever reason you decide that the services aren’t a fit, I’ll be glad to provide you with appropriate referrals.” – Dr. Reece Malone
First Session
The first session is an opportunity for you to share your concerns and goals in seeking sex therapy, coaching or consultation.
To better understand your matter, you may be asked questions about your history, attempts with resolving the issues as well as your thoughts and feelings. From there, we’ll collaborate in establishing short and long-term goals. Finally, we will discuss a realistic plan or treatment that supports your goals, personality and learning style.
How Often to Meet
After our initial session, we’ll discuss how often to meet. Depending on the matter, sometimes one session is all that’s needed. In other cases, weekly, bi-monthly or another duration may be more appropriate. How much time required before you notice progress depends on the unique circumstances of each individual or relationship.
Tailored Sessions
Feedback is important and at the end of each session, you’ll be asked how you feel about the session, pace of therapy, and comfort level.
Wrapping Up
If progress is taking a bit longer, we will re-evaluate the approach. If there’s significant progress and you’re feeling more confident, we will conclude our sessions. Know that our open-door policy means that you’re welcome back at any time.
