SEE ME FROM YOUR HOME

by Lauren on November 10, 2011

I now have skype available!  So if you have a webcam, you can now see me from the privacy of your home.  I will still offer in office therapy, of course, but this is a convenient option when time is very limited. 

Skype sessions are also ideal if you have just been too embarrassed to get yourself into my office.  I know that it takes a big leap of faith and a huge amount of courage to make that first appointment – so if this sounds like a better option for you, we can go this route. 

Finally, skype is available for those who don’t live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth* metroplex.  I have had couples drive in from places like Tyler and Longview – now you can save yourself the trip, and still get the help you want!

Call me if you’d like to set this up.  I look forward to hearing from you.

*My license allows me to practice only within the state of Texas.

HOW AROUSED ARE YOU?

October 6, 2010

It may surprise you to hear this, but an amazingly high number of people are not aroused during sex.  For many men and women, being able to relax into a sexual experience is a rare occurrence.  Women often need more “transition time” – to shed their other roles and responsibilities and shift into being a [...]
