Sexuality and Illness
Michael Ian Rothenberg, Ph.D., LCSW
Licensed Psychotherapist  SW8380


We are all sexual beings and our sexuality is, very
often, a concern for individuals in both health and in
illness.

Sometimes we’re uncomfortable, embarrassed or even
too shy to discuss our sexual concerns with medical
professionals and it might even appear that some
medical professionals are, sometimes, uncomfortable
discussing our sexual concerns with us.

Dr. Rothenberg provides specialized counseling for
patients and caregivers who have questions about
their illness, sex and sexuality. His open, non-
judgmental style puts people at ease and helps them
to feel comfortable discussing topics that are, in fact,
sometimes hard to talk about.
