Specialized Treatment for Sex and Relationship Concerns

Dr. Snyder offers help for a wide range of sexual and relationship issues, including:
Infidelity

Infidelity

Most couples affected by infidelity end up staying together. Goals of counseling are to help a couple heal the emotional wound, encounter each other in a safe environment, and rebuild trust and connection – usually starting with an honest account of what happened.

Intimacy Problems

Intimacy Problems

Many people tend to lose interest, lose connection, or lose themselves in intimate relationships. Past trauma or neglect often play a role. Healing often starts with feeling safe to express what you actually feel, rather than what you think the other person wants to hear.

Sexless Marriage

Sexless Marriage

Sex can wane for all kinds of reasons, from low desire to marital conflict to simply bad sex. But sexlessness eventually becomes self-perpetuating. Treatment starts with exploring exactly what went wrong, then formulating an action plan to help repair your erotic bond.

Trouble Ejaculating

Trouble Ejaculating / Delayed Ejaculation (DE)

DE is unexpectedly common, and can be surprisingly simple to treat. But few sex therapists know how. Dr Snyder has pioneered new, ultra-brief treatments for DE and has helped hundreds of men with this condition – including some who’ve never ejaculated in their lives.

Premature Ejaculation (PE)

Premature Ejaculation (PE)

Premature ejaculation is the most common male sexual condition, and the most frequently misunderstood. As an MD sex therapist, Dr Snyder has decades of experience with psychological techniques – plus medication as needed – to achieve optimal results.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

ED involves both the mind and body. Treatment requires a full understanding of both. As an MD sex therapist, Dr Snyder has decades of experience combining medical and psychological treatments to enable almost any man to experience confident erections again.

Low Libido

Low Libido

Desire problems can be complicated. Treatment should be personalized, evidence-based, and should start with a careful review of your story. By the end of your first appointment, you should have a clear conception of the problem and a real plan for making things better.
