Sexual problems are widespread. Generally, these are caused by a mixture of social, biological and psychological factors, which calls for an individualised treatment plan.

Sexual problems are widespread. Generally, these are caused by a mixture of social, biological and psychological factors, which calls for an individualised treatment plan.

Our focus is on:

  • Sexual dysfunctions (decreased libido, erectile dysfunctions, premature ejaculation, sexual pain disorders, orgasm disorders) 
  • Hypersexuality
  • Paraphilic Disorders 
  • Gender Dysphoria (gender identity disorder) 
  • Temporary sexual disorders due to life changes (e.g. post pregnancy, after a separation ...) 
  • Secondary sexual dysfunctions due to psychiatric disorders (e.g. depression, schizophrenia, addiction, anxiety disorders ...)

Unfortunately, we cannot offer therapy to:

  • People, who suffer from paedophilia
  • People, who have committed a sexual crime

Contact Information

If you are interested, please fill out the questionnaire below and send it to sexualmedizin.sexualtherapie(at)med.uni-goettingen.de. Due to the steep increase in demand, we are now offering preliminary talks first to decide how to proceed.

Please note that currently you have to wait a few months for a psychotherapeutic appointment. We will propose a date for your first appointment mostly via e-mail. If you cannot attend your session, we greatly appreciate it if you cancel at least 48 hours in advance so we can schedule someone else instead. We apologise for any inconvenience.
