SERVICES

1. Sex Therapy: Sex therapy offers a supportive and empowering approach for individuals and couples navigating sexual health challenges. It provides a safe space to address issues such as low desire, erectile dysfunction, and communication barriers, guiding clients toward more satisfying sexual experiences. By incorporating techniques to enhance intimacy—such as sensate focus exercises and open dialogue—sex therapy fosters deeper emotional, intellectual, and spiritual connections. Recognizing the interplay between mental health and sexual wellness, sex therapy also integrates mental health support to address psychological barriers, ultimately improving sexual function and enhancing relationships.
2. Individual Therapy: Dalliance Sexual Wellness Collective offers individual therapy for clients struggling with unhealthy relationship patterns, emotional regulation, and life dissatisfaction. Their highly trained therapists help individuals address issues such as anger management, self-doubt, boundary-setting, and overwhelming societal expectations. The therapy process involves examining triggered responses, challenging negative thought patterns, and exploring the influence of family, culture, and identity on one's behavior. By working with a therapist, clients can develop strategies to navigate life's complexities, manage emotional reactivity, and uncover their authentic selves. The collective aims to help individuals understand and overcome obstacles in their relationships, process past hurts, and gain clarity on their needs and desires. This approach enables clients to build more fulfilling and intimate relationships while developing the confidence to tackle life's challenges and advocate for themselves.
3. Couples Therapy: Couples therapy at Dalliance Sexual Wellness Collective focuses on enhancing communication and emotional intimacy between partners. Therapists work with couples to develop strategies for engaging in difficult conversations and expressing needs without triggering defensive responses or withdrawal. The therapy emphasizes creating a safe, non-judgmental space where partners can share vulnerabilities, practice empathetic listening, and validate each other's feelings. This process aims to bridge emotional gaps that may have developed over time. Couples are encouraged to engage in open dialogues about their desires and aspirations, and to participate in shared experiences that challenge them. The therapy also supports partners in embracing each other's personal growth positively, helping to reignite feelings of love and appreciation that may have diminished. Through these approaches, couples can work towards rebuilding trust, deepening their connection, and fostering a more fulfilling relationship.
4. Premarital Counseling: Dalliance Sexual Wellness Collective offers premarital counseling designed for engaged couples or those planning to marry, regardless of their background, age, religion, or previous marital experience. This specialized therapy aims to address potential issues and concerns before couples make a lifelong commitment. The collective's therapists work with couples to develop healthy communication and conflict resolution skills, creating a strong foundation for marriage. Sessions are tailored to each couple's unique situation and relationship goals, focusing on preparing them for potential challenges and developing strategies for effective conflict management. Dalliance emphasizes the importance of premarital counseling in strengthening marriages from the outset, helping couples create a plan for achieving long-lasting results. Their mission is to foster healthy marriages by equipping individuals with essential skills for communication and conflict resolution, setting the stage for a more successful and fulfilling marital relationship.
5. Couples Intensives: Dalliance Sexual Wellness Collective offers a Sexual Enhancement for Couples Intensive (SECS) program designed to help couples deepen their connection and enhance their sexual satisfaction. This intensive, conducted over two consecutive Saturdays, combines group psychoeducation with private couple activities facilitated by therapists. The program utilizes Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based approach grounded in attachment theory, to build strong emotional bonds between partners. Dalliance's approach emphasizes creating a safe environment for couples to express needs, desires, and vulnerabilities while incorporating playfulness and fun into discussions about intimacy. The intensive aims to shift the focus from performance pressure and frequency to prioritizing pleasure and connection in sexual experiences. By blending group learning with personalized guidance, Dalliance's SECS program offers couples a unique opportunity to reignite their spark and develop a more loving, satisfying relationship in a supportive setting.
6. Discernment Counseling: Discernment Counseling, offered at Dalliance Sexual Wellness Collective, is a specialized short-term process designed for couples uncertain about the future of their marriage. This approach is particularly suited for situations where one partner wants to work on the relationship while the other is considering divorce or separation. Unlike traditional couples therapy, Discernment Counseling doesn't aim to solve relationship problems but rather helps partners gain clarity about whether their issues are solvable. The process, limited to five sessions, focuses on helping both individuals understand the factors that led to their current impasse and their respective contributions to the situation. Through this intensive exploration, couples can make an informed decision about whether to pursue couples therapy to preserve the relationship or to move towards ending the marriage. Dalliance's approach recognizes that when one partner is "leaning out" of the relationship, traditional couples therapy may be ineffective, making Discernment Counseling a valuable alternative for couples at a crossroads in their relationship.
7. Group Therapy: Dalliance Sexual Wellness Collective offers a group therapy program called "What's Your Pleasure? A Group for Women Who Want More," designed for women seeking to improve their relationship with sexuality and pleasure. This 10-week program, guided by two sex and relationship therapists, uses Emily Nagoski's book "Come As You Are" as a foundation to explore the science behind women's sexuality. The group provides a safe, supportive environment for women to discuss and learn about sexual health, expression, self-reflection, fulfillment, and mindfulness. Participants engage in discussions that help them identify and explore their values, challenge limiting beliefs, improve body image, and learn healing strategies for themselves and their relationships. The program covers a wide range of topics including arousal, desire, intimacy, stress management, self-care, and sexual health as women age. Dalliance's approach emphasizes building community among women who have struggled with their sexuality, aiming to help them become more confident, free, and joyful in their sexual experiences. This comprehensive therapy aims to improve sexual satisfaction and overall quality of life for participants.
