Approximately 43 percent of American women and 31 percent of American men suffer from sexual dysfunction. Specific problems may include relationship conflicts, loss of intimacy, low libido, erectile dysfunction, early or delayed ejaculation, difficulty reaching orgasm, and even pain.

Dr. Winter has helped hundreds of men, women, and couples overcome all kinds of sexual concerns so that they can have the kind of pleasurable and satisfying experiences they seek. She can help you enhance your relationship, both in and out of the bedroom, and regain the connection and intimacy you desire!

Practice and Treatment Philosophy

Sexual health depends on both psychogenic (in the mind), and biogenic (in the body), functioning. Many sexual concerns result from internal conflict-something in the mind that is preventing the body from optimal functioning. There may be physiological anomalies that contribute to difficulty in functioning and with the population enjoying a greater life span, there are health issues that come with aging that often require attention. Today there is the added challenge of the individual and/or couple to be present sufficient to enjoy a satisfying sexual relationship. It is not an uncommon complaint that couples are distracted and have trouble ‘shifting gears’ away from the pressures of daily living. Unresolved family and relationship issues may interfere as well.

It is vital to determine the nature of the problem, whether it be physical, physiological, emotional or relational. Dr. Winter will address each and every one of these concerns as they contribute to your sexual health so that an intimate sexual relationship can be attained.

While sex therapy employs many of the same principles as other modalities, there are specific techniques available for various sexual problems. Sessions may involve the individual and/or couple. Unlike perhaps other therapy experiences, there is an explicit exploration of the sexual concern. Sex therapy does not include touching or the use of surrogates.
