Sex Therapy Referrals for OB-GYN Practices
Specialized therapy for sexual and relational concerns in gynecological and reproductive health
Supporting sexual health alongside gynecological care
Gynecological and reproductive health often intersects with sexuality, intimacy, and relationship functioning. Medical treatment addresses the physical dimension while relational and psychological factors shape the patient's overall experience and recovery.
Sex therapy can help patients and their partners work through emotional, relational, and psychological aspects of sexual and reproductive health concerns.
Referral scenarios

- Sexual pain or difficulty is affecting emotional wellbeing or relationship quality
- Postpartum sexuality or intimacy changes are straining the relationship or causing distress
