Richard M. Siegel

Though I’m a broad-based counselor and psychotherapist, my primary focus is sex therapy and sexual/relational problems at all stages of life. Areas of expertise include sexual dysfunction (especially rapid ejaculation, E.D. and orgasm difficulties, desire discrepancies), adolescent issues, paraphilias and out-of-control sexual behavior (a.k.a. “sex addiction, ” for which I support a “sexological” approach over an “addictionological” one).I also train medical and mental health professionals in the practice of sex therapy, as Director of the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes, currently operating in West Palm Beach, New York City, Washington DC, Atlanta & Chicago.I am certified by AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors & Therapists) as a Sex Therapist and Supervisor of Sex Therapy. I offer clinical case supervision to those clinicians seeking to become certified sex therapists, and am also a Qualified Supervisor for Florida mental health counselor interns.I encourage an “integrated medical practice model” with urologists, gynecologists, psychiatrists, endocrinologists, nurse practitioners and physical therapists, especially with patients suffering sexual dysfunction as a result of injury, chronic illness, medication side effects, surgery, chemotherapy/radiation, etc., but also encourage couples to navigate these often painful events together.
