The process may include the following steps:

  • Helping identify where you are when you arrive and where you want to be when you finish your work with Dr. Pomeroy.
  • Helping you identify the factors that allow you to feel safe and those that prevent you from meeting your sexual goals.
  • Designing and suggesting exercises to help you to progressively expand your sexual comfort zones until you reach your goals.

This is considered “brief therapy,” which is and goal-oriented counseling. If sexual difficulties appear to be rooted in deeper issues that require intensive therapy, Dr. Pomeroy may work with you on this issue or refer you to an appropriate therapist. If she feels that you require medical attention before or during work, she will do her best to provide a referral.
