Dorothy McQuown, Ph.D.

I specialize in couples’ relationship therapy, in treating sexual problems of all kinds in both individuals and couples, in cognitive-behavioral treatment of depression and anxiety and in psychodynamic therapy for a variety of concerns. I also do EMDR for specific problems.
My approach is to evaluate each person’s situation thoroughly and to decide together the most appropriate treatment. Whether seeing me for brief or longer term therapy, my patients are seeking change. Sometimes that change is behavioral as in overcoming a fear of flying in airplanes. Other times the goal is broader: to be more fulfilled in life, to communicate better in relationships, to find more meaning in work or creative pursuits.

For mort than twenty years I have helped individuals and couples overcome sexual concerns. These include lack of interest in sex, trouble talking about sexual matters and dysfunctions, like erection and orgasm problems. I see a number of women, often with their partners, to resolve sexual pain problems. I also treat men with internet pornography addictions. I have taught sex therapy to graduate students for many years.

In addition to my graduate degree, I have pursued extensive additional training over the years to maximize my effectiveness with patients.
