At Reviving Your Drive, we’ve heard it all—and we mean that lovingly. Questions about sex, intimacy, and relationships come with vulnerability, curiosity, and often, a little hesitation. Whether you're navigating the realities of aging, exploring new desires, managing relationship dynamics, or simply feeling out of sync with your sexual self, you're not alone.
We specialize in helping individuals and couples—especially those in midlife and beyond—reignite their passion and feel more connected. Our work combines mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and attachment-focused practices to address sexual wellness on every level: physical, emotional, and psychological.
So, what do sex therapists get asked the most? Here’s a peek behind the curtain:
1. “Is it normal that my sex drive has changed?”
Yes. Libido naturally shifts throughout life—due to hormones, stress, illness, medications, or relationship transitions. But a change in drive doesn’t mean something is broken. At Reviving Your Drive, we help you explore the “why” behind the shift and offer tools to navigate it with compassion and curiosity.
2. “How do I talk to my partner about sex without causing conflict or embarrassment?”
This is a big one. Communication is the foundation of intimacy, but it can feel incredibly vulnerable to say what you want—or what’s not working. We guide couples in building emotional safety so these conversations feel less like a minefield and more like a bridge.

3. “Can you help me if I’m not in a relationship?”
Absolutely. Many of our clients are individuals—divorced, widowed, single, or simply focused on their personal growth. Sexual wellness isn’t only about partnership; it’s about understanding your own body, desires, and emotional landscape.
4. “Is it too late for me to have a satisfying sex life?”
Never. We work with many clients who rediscover intimacy later in life. Whether you’re in your 50s, 60s, 70s or beyond, your sexuality is still very much alive. With the right support, you can redefine pleasure and connection on your terms.
5. “What if I have no idea what I want anymore?”
That’s a common starting point—and it’s okay. Our sessions provide a safe, judgment-free space to untangle years of messages, experiences, and expectations around sex. Together, we help you get reacquainted with what brings you joy and meaning in intimacy.
Your Questions Are Valid. Your Needs Matter.
No question is too taboo, too awkward, or too late to ask. If something is affecting your confidence, your relationship, or your sense of self, we’re here to help.
At Reviving Your Drive, we don’t just focus on “fixing” problems—we focus on helping you feel empowered, present, and connected again.
