Sex Therapy Services

Dr. Snyder specializes in helping individuals and couples with a wide range of sexual and relationship issues, including:

  • Loss of desire:  Lack of desire for a partner, or general loss of libido, can cause immense frustration in an intimate relationship. Fortunately, low desire is often treatable.  But it’s important to see a specialist, since very few general therapists or medical care providers know how to assess and treat this common problem.  
  • Erectile Dysfunction (ED):  Sooner or later, most men encounter ED in some fashion.  Happily, most men suffering from ED can be helped.  As a sex therapist who is also an MD, Dr Snyder can show you the best strategies and options for combining medical and psychological treatment in order to feel confident again.     
  • Premature Ejaculation (PE): PE is the most common sexual concern in young men and can have a huge effect on quality of life. Optimal treatment often requires a combination of behavioral and medical approaches. 
  • Delayed Ejaculation (DE):  Once thought to be rare, DE has become increasingly common. It’s also often highly treatable. Many men with DE can be treated in just one 90-minute consultation session. 
  • Intimacy Concerns:  Sex and intimacy naturally go together – but what about when they don’t?  Many people with intimacy problems haven’t had much practice with intimate communication. But it’s never too late to learn! 
  • Sexless Marriages: Sexless marriage and sexless relationships are more common than you might think.  A thorough review of a couple’s erotic history often yields valuable clues to treatment. 
  • Infidelity and Trust Issues: Infidelity can be extremely traumatic, but addressing it honestly can leave you with a stronger relationship than before. Specialized counseling can help couples avoid the most common pitfalls.

  • Collaborative and Solution-Focused: Dr Snyder works with you to clarify specific goals and formulate a plan to achieve those goals within a reasonable time frame. 
  • Comprehensive: Sexual concerns often have both emotional and physical parts. As a sex therapist who is also a licensed physician, Dr Snyder is able to address both medical and psychological aspects.  
  • Judgment-free: A non-judgmental attitude is essential for successful treatment. Dr Snyder believes patients deserve a zero-judgment space.  
  • Cost-Effective: Most sex and relationship problems can be helped through brief treatment.  Many individuals and couples waste time and money on months or years of therapy that just leaves them frustrated. A more experienced care provider can usually bring a sharper focus.  
  • When Other Approaches Haven’t Helped: Dr Snyder often works with individuals and couples for whom previous therapy or sex therapy have failed – or who are in other forms of therapy but not making progress.  
  • Virtual and In-Person Options: Individuals and couples can receive care conveniently through telehealth from Jersey City – or in-person at Dr Snyder’s  Manhattan office.

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.
