Common Questions
Is this real sex therapy? Yes. Sex therapy at Cushing Counseling is specialized, evidence-based therapy focused on sexual concerns and intimacy. All therapy is talk-based — there is no physical contact in sessions.
Does sex therapy involve any physical contact? No. Sessions are 100% talk-based. Your therapist may suggest exercises or practices to try at home, but these are always discussed openly and completely optional.
Is telehealth as effective as in-person therapy? Research consistently shows telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person for the concerns we treat. Many clients actually find it easier to talk openly from the comfort and privacy of their own home.
How much does it cost? We are out-of-network providers. Many clients receive partial reimbursement through their insurance's out-of-network benefits. Visit our Fees page for details.
What if I'm not sure therapy is right for me? That's exactly what the free 15-minute consultation is for. No commitment, no obligation — just a conversation.
