You deserve to feel better now, not later

 
Jan Carey, Sex Therapist Doylestown

You are tired of having the same fight and sweeping problems under the rug. You are over being unable to connect and feel close with your partner. You struggle to have conversations about sex, intimacy, and your needs. And now you are here, trying to figure out what you really need to feel better, to get help and experience something different than what you are facing now.

As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker Certified in the states of Maryland and Pennsylvania. I help couples and individuals through sex and relationship therapy. It should be noted that Sex Therapy is talk therapy only. Through our work together my hope is that you build confidence and satisfaction in all areas of your relationship.

 

I have a passion for providing a clinical experience that will create healing and re-connection for you and your partner.

I know it’s the tender feelings, which are so difficult to speak, that make all the difference in creating a vibrant relationship. It’s my honor to provide the safety and the space needed to have these important conversations with yourself and others. Book a consult to discuss how therapy can help. I am licensed in the states of Maryland and Pennsylvania and can work with you if you live within these states.

 

Clients who will work well with me are…

  • Couples who want to improve their communication, so as to feel close, connected and secure with each other again

  • Couples and individuals who have lost or never had intimacy, and want pleasure in their sex lives

  • People who feel anxious about sex and want to release the stress that surrounds it

  • Individuals who have difficulty in creating or sustaining a healthy relationship, or are frustrated with being single and want support in staying open, trusting, and hopeful about dating

  • Men who struggle with out of control sexual behavior and want a more satisfying connection with others

  • People who identify as LGBTQI who need a safe space that honors their identity

  • Men who are tired of feeling alone and are ready to recalibrate their relationship to access closeness and sex again

 

I believe…

  • How we relate to our partners draws on how we related to our caregivers in childhood

  • To be successful at coupling requires the willingness to be vulnerable with that someone special

  • We hurt others when we have a deep pain that needs to be tended to

  • You deserve to have your disappointments heard, and your needs met

  • Therapy doesn’t always have to be heavy and serious – sometimes making space for silliness or absurdity is what really heals

  • Healing requires the presence of another person to bear witness to another’s pain
