Most helping professionals have either no or very little training (one class, maybe) in addressing sexual challenges. So, if you are seeking a sex positive approach to sexuality specific and/or relationship issues, someone specializing in treating sexual issues is the best bet in tackling your concerns. It is a well-known phenomenon for clients to work with a therapist or coach for years and have no conversations about sexuality. This is not because the helping professional wasn't skilled. They are likely extremely competent. The lack of sexuality being addressed in this case is due to the general marginalization of sexual issues through a lack of education in the helping professions in general.
 

Basic Coaching Process

Clients meet in Dr. Ashley's virtual office. Some clients need/choose to attend sessions alone; others bring their partner with them. Session frequency and length usually depend on the client and the type of problem being addressed. Options to meet from 50 minutes to 13.5 hours in a weekend is the vast timeframe continue that is possible depending an individual or couples' needs.

Steps in the Coaching Process

All clients will fill out an extensive and sexual and relationship history before their initial 1.5 hour discovery session intended to assist with the coaching process so coaching clients can use the tools that they come to the coaching process with to make the changes they seek now and moving forward.
