What is your treatment all about?
The treatment is practical, focused, short-term, and individualized.
Both clinicians are present for the duration of each session so that any emotional and physical concern may be addressed right on the spot.
Therapeutic approaches may include any combination of hands-on intervention & pelvic floor rehabilitation, sex therapy, counseling, guidance in the areas of self-care and personal hygiene, urogynecologic/sexual care, patient and partner education, and complementary & alternative medicine.
A typical session is approximately 50-55 minutes long, dedicated to that patient.

If you are particularly interested in the vaginismus treatment, here are additional details:
It is a process of "hands on" guided penetration training with emotional support as necessary, leading the woman to owning her genitals and to being able to have the basic vaginal penetrations, pain-free:
- Finger
- Tampons
- Vaginal applicator
- Intercourse (or penis-size spacer for the single woman)
- Gynecologic exam
It is the same treatment process for the local woman who comes once/twice weekly as for the woman who arrives for the 2-week program. The only difference is the intensity and frequency of sessions associated with the concentrated 2-week program.
