My Services

What I Offer:

Case Consultation

I provide consultation for mental health professionals working with clients who have sexual or relationship concerns. These sessions offer specialized guidance on treatment approaches, case conceptualization, and evidence-based interventions within the scope of sex and relationship therapy.

Sex Therapy

Sex therapy addresses the full spectrum of sexual concerns, from desire discrepancies and performance anxiety to communication challenges and recovery from sexual trauma. I create a non-judgmental space where you can explore your sexuality, understand the factors affecting your intimate life, and develop practical strategies for enhancement and fulfillment.

Couples Therapy

I help couples rebuild connection, improve communication, and navigate the complex dynamics that can create distance in relationships. Using evidence-based approaches, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, I guide partners through understanding their attachment patterns and breaking negative cycles that keep them stuck. 

Individual Therapy

As an existential therapist, I believe that each client is unique, which means that each therapy session should be tailored uniquely to your needs and circumstances. I employ a multidisciplinary approach to tailor the most effective treatment to your specific concerns.

Jon Prezant, LCSW, MA

Sex and Couples Therapist NYC

I’ve always been fascinated by what’s really at the core of what couples fight about—and what keeps individuals stuck in patterns that don’t serve them. That curiosity led me from journalism into the deeper work of psychotherapy, where I could help people understand not just their stories, but how to rewrite them.

I’m an AASECT-certified sex therapist in NYC and licensed clinical social worker specializing in helping individuals and couples navigate sexual concerns, intimacy challenges, relationship patterns, and identity questions. I hold an MA in Trauma and Crisis Studies from Tel Aviv University and an MSW from Yeshiva University, and I completed my sex therapy certification at the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes in 2025. Since 2022, I’ve been a therapist at the Institute for Human Identity, working extensively with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples.

My approach as a sex therapist and couples therapist in New York City integrates emotionally focused therapy, psychodynamic work, and specialized sex therapy techniques. I’ve worked with diverse populations including refugees, asylum seekers, polyamorous partnerships, and individuals healing from trauma. Each person and couple I work with teaches me something new about resilience and the capacity for change.

More than half my practice now focuses on helping couples and individuals work through sexual concerns like erectile dysfunction, desire differences, and painful sex, as well as relationship challenges like infidelity recovery, communication breakdowns, and navigating non-monogamy. I’m drawn to the intersection of sexuality, identity, and authentic connection—the places where we’re most vulnerable and where the deepest growth happens.

I live in Brooklyn with my husband and our dog, Bernie. When I’m not in session, I write and produce music.

I am currently in-network with Aetna. If you do not have Aetna, I can provide you with a detailed superbill (receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many clients receive partial reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services, though coverage varies by plan.

I recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask about:

  • Your out-of-network mental health benefits
  • How much do they reimburse for CPT code 90834 (individual sessions) or 90847 (couples sessions)
  • Your annual deductible and how much you’ve met
  • Any requirements for pre-authorization

Payment is due at the time of service and is processed through a secure payment portal using a credit card.

The therapeutic relationship is key to positive outcomes, so finding the right fit matters. My approach is direct and compassionate—I address concerns honestly while creating a warm, non-judgmental space for exploring sensitive topics. You might be a good fit if you’re seeking expertise in sexual health and relationships, value evidence-based methods, and are ready to actively engage in therapy. I offer brief consultation calls so we can determine together if we’re a good match.

I require 48 hours advance notice for cancellations. Late cancellations will be charged the full session fee, though I’ll always try to reschedule first when possible.

This policy allows me to offer your slot to other clients who need it and helps maintain a sustainable practice. I understand that true emergencies happen—please contact me as soon as possible to discuss extraordinary circumstances.

Your first session is about getting acquainted and understanding your concerns in a comfortable, no-pressure environment.

We’ll discuss why you’re seeking therapy, your goals, relevant history, and any questions you have about my approach. We won’t jump into highly intimate details right away—the focus is on building rapport and understanding your needs.

It’s natural to feel nervous, and we’ll go at whatever pace feels comfortable. Many clients find that simply talking about their concerns provides immediate relief. First sessions typically run up to 60 minutes to allow time for intake and questions.

Yes, absolutely. I’m gay and deeply committed to providing affirming, knowledgeable care for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples.

I worked for several years at the Institute for Human Identity, the oldest continuously running LGBTQ+ psychotherapy nonprofit in NYC, and have extensive experience with coming out, identity exploration, relationship dynamics, non-monogamy, transgender and gender-nonconforming concerns, and minority stress.

You won’t need to educate me about basic LGBTQ+ experiences or worry about judgment—I’m here to create a space where you can explore your sexuality and relationships freely.

General Questions

Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that addresses sexual concerns, difficulties, and relationship issues. As a trained sex therapist, I help individuals and couples work through challenges such as:

  • Communication about intimacy and sexual needs
  • Desire discrepancies between partners
  • Performance anxiety or sexual dysfunction
  • Recovery from sexual trauma
  • Exploring sexual identity and orientation
  • Navigating changes in sexuality throughout life stages
  • Addressing the impact of medical conditions on sexual health

Sex therapy is talk-based and does not involve physical contact or sexual activity during sessions. Instead, we focus on education, communication skills, exercises that you can practice at home, and processing emotions related to sexuality in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

Existential therapy focuses on fundamental human experiences we all face: freedom and responsibility, meaning and purpose, connection and isolation, and our awareness of mortality.

This approach emphasizes living in the present rather than dwelling on past regrets or future anxieties, while building your capacity to navigate life’s unavoidable realities—uncertainty, loss, imperfection, and pain. Rather than viewing symptoms as disorders to eliminate, we explore how your struggles might reflect deeper questions about how you want to live and what gives your life meaning.

Through this work, you can develop greater self-awareness, clarify your values, embrace your agency, and create a more authentic life—which naturally improves mental health and relationships.

Relationship therapy can help you and your partner improve communication (especially around intimate topics), rebuild emotional and physical intimacy, navigate life transitions, resolve conflicts, align expectations around desire and goals, and heal from betrayals or broken trust.

My combined expertise in relationship and sex therapy means we can address both relational dynamics and sexual concerns in depth. Therapy provides a neutral space where both partners can be heard and work collaboratively toward shared goals.

Absolutely. Individual therapy can be very helpful for relationship concerns, and many clients start this way.

Working individually makes sense when you want to explore your own sexual history or desires first, you’re dealing with personal trauma that impacts intimacy, your partner isn’t ready for therapy yet, or you need to clarify your own needs and boundaries before addressing issues together.

We can work on understanding your patterns, building communication skills, processing past experiences, and developing strategies for difficult conversations. Many clients find that individual work strengthens their ability to engage in couples therapy later, if they choose to.

This is one of the most common concerns, and you’re not alone.

You can still benefit significantly from individual work. You’ll learn new communication strategies that can shift relationship dynamics, understand your own patterns and triggers, develop skills for managing conflict, work through personal barriers to intimacy, and gain clarity about what you want.

Sometimes sharing what you’re learning (without pressure) or inviting your partner to a single session to “help you” can make them more open to therapy. Remember that you can only control your own choices and responses—but when one partner begins changing their patterns, it often creates space for the relationship to improve naturally.
