The
Creation of Harbor
Center
for Sexual Health:
Harbor
Psychological Associates offers
a full array of counseling services for children, adolescents, adults,
couples,
and families. In
the more that 20 years
of providing psychological services in the West Michigan area, we
recognized a need that was
largely unmet: sexual health services.
This realization brought about the creation of
Harbor Center for Sexual
Health. Harbor Center for Sexual
Health is dedicated to
advancing personal, relationship, and sexual wellness through therapy
and
education. Our goal
is to provide
sensitive, competent, and confidential care to our clients. We believe that sexual
health is a natural
part of total health, vitality, and wellness.
Harbor Center for Sexual
Health is respectful of
individual, cultural, and religious values, as well as racial, ethnic,
sexual
orientation, and gender identities.

How Sex Therapy Can Help:
Sex

interfere with
good sex. Sex therapy can enhance a sense of well being, enrich life,
and add
warmth and intimacy to a relationship.
