Greenwich CT Sex Therapy

Sex and relationship challenges are more common than you might think – and often respond well to solution-focused treatments. Stephen Snyder MD provides tailored care for individuals and couples in Greenwich, CT, addressing a wide range of sexual and relationship concerns.

Specific Therapy Services 

Dr. Snyder focuses on providing expert care for individuals and couples facing a variety of sexual and relationship challenges, including:

• Loss of Sexual Desire:  Low or absent libido is quite common, and tends to be a major source of distress for couples. Fortunately, many causes of low libido are  quite treatable.  But few therapists know how to asses and treat desire concerns, so make sure you see an expert who has the necessary skills.   
• Erectile Dysfunction (ED):   ED can affect men at any age, and can have a profound effect on a man’s well-being.  The good news is that most ED is highly treatable. As an MD sex therapist, Dr. Snyder provides both psychological and medical solutions to help men overcome ED and restore confidence.  
• Premature Ejaculation (PE):  Premature ejaculation (PE) affects men of all ages, and can have a major impact on quality of life. Most often, PE is simply the result of having a low orgasm threshold. Effective treatment typically involves a combination of behavioral techniques and medication. 
• Delayed Ejaculation (DE): Contrary to myth, Delayed ejaculation (DE) is quite common (yes, men fake orgasms too) and is often highly treatable.  Many men can be taught effective techniques for DE in just one 90-minute consultation session.
• Intimacy Concerns:  Sexual intimacy and emotional intimacy are clearly connected. Many couples develop sexual problems because they never learned how to communicate about emotions in a safe way.  Happily, emotional communication can be taught, and just about anyone can learn!  
• Sexless Marriage:  No-sex relationships are more common than most people think.  Careful exploration of a couple’s erotic history can usually pinpoint when and why a sexual relationship faltered – and how to put things back together.  
• Infidelity:  Emotional and sexual affairs can cause profound suffering – especially now, when electronic records can disclose just about everything. The first priority for therapy is to not make things worse.  Dr Snyder offers specialized counseling to help couples survive – and even thrive – after infidelity.

What to Expect During Sex Therapy

The process typically starts with a 90-minute personalized consultation to understand your challenges and goals. The highest standards of privacy are maintained.  

Sessions are conducted in a safe, judgment-free environment. Modern sex therapy is “talking-only,” and often involves learning to communicate comfortably and effectively about experiences and feelings.

Sex and relationship problems can be deeply discouraging. You should come away from a first appointment with a renewed sense of hope – and having learned some specific things you can do right away to turn that hope into reality. 

Dr Snyder’s book, Love Worth Making, provides a realistic account of the kinds of discussions that typically occur during treatment.  If you’re undecided about treatment, or simply curious, a quick flip through Love Worth Making can give you a sense of whether working with Dr Snyder might be right for you.
