Therapy Services Offered

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

Sex Therapy

Sex therapy has changed over the years. What hasn’t changed is the collaborative nature of the work; a preference for brief, solution-focused treatments anchored in the here-and-now; and a respect for the body’s natural potential for sexual arousal once you get out of its way.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
