Mismatched Desire

Are you and your partner on different pages when it comes to how much sex you need in your relationship? We call this desire discrepancy or mismatched desire, and it's the most common reason couples come to sex therapy. At Guesthouse Therapeutics, we understand this dilemma, and our specialized sex therapist knows how to help.

We Understand

Mismatched desire can take many forms. Maybe you want sex weekly while your partner prefers it monthly. Perhaps you feel very little desire for sex, whereas your partner desires it frequently. This common issue can lead to tension and misunderstandings, making both partners feel hurt and unfulfilled. Whether you’re arguing about sex constantly or avoiding the topic altogether to prevent conflict, we know that both of you are struggling. Solving this problem can be tricky without one partner feeling their needs are unmet. You can't have a healthy relationship if one of you feels sexually rejected or pressured into sex. We understand this dilemma, and we know how to help.

How We Help

We specialize in helping couples navigate the common and complex dynamic of mismatched sexual desire. We respect both partners and work diligently to understand each of your positions, needs, and concerns. We will not take sides, and we will not make either of you feel guilty for the amount of sex you want (or don’t want) in your relationship. Our approach includes a thorough assessment designed to explore all aspects of your relationship, from communication and family upbringing to individual physical health concerns. There's a lot to consider when overcoming desire discrepancy, and your specialized sex therapist will guide you through this process with compassion, professionalism, and efficiency.

Client Reviews

“Married for 16 years, my husband and I have encountered problems in our sex life for much of our relationship. We just couldn’t quite get past a few issues and we weren’t seeing eye to eye. I finally bit the bullet and emailed Hannah. Within 5 appointments, things drastically changed.

My husband and I are in a much better place sexually than we have ever been.

I highly recommend Hannah to help you out if you’re experiencing any issues in the bedroom. Do not wait 16 years!!! Do it now. You won’t be sorry! Sex can be so good.”

“Working with Hannah has been an absolute delight. She makes each session comfortable and it was easy to establish trust with her right off the bat. We had never been to sex therapy, let alone talked so openly about our relationship before. Hannah makes it easy to not take sides and feel like the three of us (my partner, Hannah, and I) were working towards a common goal. Since starting with Hannah, we feel like we have a achieved more consistent conversation, healthier ideas about our individual sexuality and the ability to connect more deeply.”

“Hannah is a warm presence who creates the kind of safety in session that allows for deep work and transformative vulnerability. While identifying as a sex therapist, committed to helping individuals enjoy greater freedom and confidence in this realm of their lives, she's also more than capable of meeting whatever a client is bringing into the room, be it traumatic issues, self-worth issues, or grief work - all of which, in my experience, seemed to intersect with sexuality nonetheless. My time with Hannah was valuable, gifting me with healthy insights about my situation, reminding me of the power of having someone with such clear intelligence and unassailable optimism in my corner.”

“It was very comfortable working with Hannah. She put me at ease about something that's embarrassing to talk about and something I haven't talked about before. She helped me realize that I am not alone, that others have similar experiences. She was a good listener and also was in tune with me, asking pertinent questions that got to the heart of the matter.

She gave me "homework" that could help me boost confidence and practice what we talked about, and that was super helpful.

Hannah put me at ease right away, she was easy to talk to and didn't ever make me feel embarrassed or shamed about what I wanted to talk about.I have more confidence in myself now, after meeting with Hannah.”
