In need of sex therapy? Lack of desire? A sex-starved marriage? Sex/porn addiction? Just not on the same page as your partner? As a Sexuality Specialist and CSAT, I have successfully treated clients struggling with many different sexual problems (Men: erectile dysfunction, rapid/premature/delayed ejaculation. Women: low desire, painful intercourse, vaginismus/vulvadynia. Either: sexual inexperience, sexual anorexia, childhood sexual traumas including incest). I often use EMDR to resolve underlying traumas. I have researched and taught at UCLA, SMC, The University of Chicago, DePaul and have been a sexuality expert on NBC, ABC and KCAL 9 news.
Our work often begins with constructing a detailed sexual history examining the origins and patterns of your current problems. My 14+ years of experience and warm, actively engaged style of doing therapy will help us dive right in and do deep work rather quickly. You WILL see positive CHANGE.
Credentials: B.A. with honors, UC Berkeley (1996); M.A. and Ph.D. The University of Chicago (2005); Postdoctoral Research Fellow at UCLA (2005-2009). Certified Sexual Addition Therapist (CSAT) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) certified. Knowledge of Clinical Hypnotherapy for Rapid Trauma Resolution. www.drpelka.com
