THE PROCESS
New patients begin with an intake session at The Sex Therapy office. Telephone or HIPPA-compliant Zoom sessions can be scheduled upon request.
Dr. Stefani Threadgill will note the sexual issues that brought you to seek therapy, and gather information about your family history, sexual development, and relationships.
Therapy may include collaboration with the referring physician, therapist or counselor to explore emotional, chemical dependency, addictions, physical and medical factors that may be relevant to a patient’s overall well-being.
In a follow-up session, therapist and patient work together to determine treatment goals. Therapeutic solutions and interventions are presented. Treatment options may include a series of talk therapy sessions, psychoeducation, mindfulness and breathing exercises, workshops, and/or group therapy. In between sessions, individuals or couples can progress toward treatment goals with reading assignments and resources the therapist may recommend.
Dr. Stefani Threadgill considers each patient’s comfort level with the direction of the treatment plan throughout the process. The Sex Therapy Institute is committed to patient privacy, confidentiality, and self-respect. In no case will a therapist engage in any kind of sexual activity with a patient, in the office or any other location.
