Dr. Roger Libby - Sex Therapist, Marriage and Couples Counselor, Sex "Addiction" Therapist, and Sex Coach for Seattle, Poulsbo, and Kitsap County

Dr. Roger Libby is an internationally recognized sexologist, social psychologist, sociologist and a board certified sex therapist with a practice in Seattle, Poulsbo and Kitsap County, Washington, where he helps young, middle-aged and older people with sexual and relationship problems. He deals equally with both men's and women's issues.

A cognitive-behavioral therapist (Washington Mental Health Counselor LH 60106663) who draws on clinical sexology and medical consultations with your physician, Dr. Libby works with couples and with individuals, Dr. Libby is effective at solving most sexual and relationship problems with short-term therapy. He spends weeks to months, rather than a year or more for most problems. He suggests specific changes in behavior, and he gives homework and homeplay. His approach is direct, as opposed to the more typical passive strategy taken by therapists who spend most of their time asking how a patient feels, rather than providing specific suggestions.

Dr. Libby is a sensitive, but direct marriage and couples counselor as well as a sex therapist and a sex "addiction" therapist and sex coach. He deals with basic couples therapy issues such as constant arguments, problems with children and money, and the power and control struggles associated with these and related hot button issues. He is skilled at addressing communication problems, and at changing dysfunctional ways of relating and making decisions. It is his belief that every relationship—marital or not—needs continual efforts to polish the rough edges of everyday interaction. He does not view marriage as a boring business with assigned tasks and no fun. Instead, he emphasizes ways to fine-tune relationships, so they are rewarding emotionally and sexually.

Dr. Libby's strong academic credentials and nearly fifty years of experience as a sexologist qualify him as a pioneer sex therapist, sex researcher and sex educator. He is an Adjunct Professor and a distinguished lecturer at the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco. He has also held academic appointments at The University of Mass., Amherst, Syracuse University and The University of Georgia, where he taught graduate and undergraduate courses in Human Sexuality and Marriage and the Family.

Dr. Libby is a Fellow of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality and a Charter Member of the International Academy of Sex Research, and he is board certified by The American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists, The American Board of Sexology, The American College of Sexology, and The American Academy of Clinical Sexologists.

In addition to sex and relationship therapy, Dr. Libby has been a campus-wide speaker at over 200 colleges and universities, as well as medical and community groups. He has appeared on national television and radio shows, including Oprah Winfrey, The NBC Nightly News and CNN News Night. He hosted The Pleasure Dome radio show for three years in Atlanta, and he is starting a new national radio show, "Love and Lust with Dr. Roger Libby".

He authored The Naked Truth about Sex: A Guide to Intelligent Sexual Choices for Teenagers and Twentysomethings (2006), as well as five other popular and academic books and many articles and columns on sex and marriage.
