Kathryn Hall is a licensed psychologist with a private practice in Princeton NJ. She specializes in the treatment of sexual and relationship problems.
“Thank you for visiting my website. Sexual problems and sexual dysfunctions are not uncommon. But they are usually difficult to discuss. You don’t have to be comfortable talking about your sexual concerns. It’s my job to help you do that. I have been talking to people about their sex lives for over 25 years. Be assured that your sexual issues will be discussed with sensitivity and confidentiality in the privacy of my Princeton office.
Please note that I am also available to work with individuals and couples on a variety of issues (mood disorders, intimacy problems, stress, communication, anger).”
— Dr. Kathryn Hall
For more than 30 years, Dr. Hall has used a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and sex/couples therapy to help men, women and couples achieve their goals of increased intimacy, satisfying sexuality and harmonious relationships.
Everyone who works with Dr. Hall receives respect, compassion and the highest quality of care. Her practice is open and welcoming to individuals of all sexual orientations and cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds.
Sex therapy is talk therapy.
Sex therapy directly addresses sexual issues, acknowledging that they don’t always resolve on their own. In therapy, you may receive reading materials or “homework” to support progress, but there’s never any sexual activity in sessions. Therapy can be done individually or as a couple, tailored to fit your specific needs and beliefs.
Common topics include low sexual desire, mismatched libidos, lack of pleasure, painful intercourse, erectile and orgasm issues, sexual addiction, and anxiety. Whether these issues are linked to psychological factors, physical health, or past experiences, therapy provides tools to help you regain control and build a satisfying, balanced life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is Solution Focused and Interactive
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a focused, interactive approach designed to help you tackle the issues you’re facing right now. In CBT, I take an active role, responding, guiding, and offering alternative perspectives to help you change thought patterns that may be holding you back.
By recognizing how thoughts impact feelings and behaviors, we can create meaningful changes in how you feel and act. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship issues, or work stress, CBT provides practical tools to overcome these challenges and build a more fulfilling life. Additionally, as an experienced sex therapist, I can also help address any related sexual concerns or medication side effects.
Couples Therapy is focused on the relationship.
Couples therapy centers on strengthening relationships by building skills to resolve conflicts and deepen trust and intimacy. My role as a therapist is to support both partners in finding mutual satisfaction—not to judge or take sides.
If your partner won’t attend therapy, individual sessions can still be effective. Changes you make can shift the dynamics within your relationship, leading to positive developments.
In my practice, common issues we address include high-conflict dynamics, communication challenges, infertility, intimacy concerns, discrepancies in sexual desire, and rebuilding trust after an affair.
