Dr. Cooper holds a PhD in Human Sexuality. She practices as a clinical sexologist, trained by the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality. She is not a medical doctor or a licensed psychotherapist. She does not treat medically diagnosable mental disorders or sexual dysfunctions. Her sex counseling can be used as an adjunct to treatment by licensed medical practitioners. Or it can be used for sexual enrichment purposes. Many common sexual difficulties fall within the range of normal human sexual experience. Amy's comfort and skill in communicating about sex often provides great relief to couples or individuals in distress or seeking greater fulfillment. She is happy to provide referrals to medical doctors and licensed therapists whenever necessary.
Dr. Cooper provides counseling sessions. She is not a sex surrogate. Please do not call her if your intent is to initiate erotic contact with her. There are plenty of other places to find that.
