About Rebecca

Rebecca Torosian is an intimacy behavioral therapist who has assisted dozens of men and women in overcoming a range of issues, from sexual shyness and inexperience to premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. Her Intimacy Behavioral Therapy ® / Surrogate Partner Program, the only one of its kind, was developed out of her prior work as a certified surrogate partner therapist at The Center for Sexual Recovery in New York and decades as a mind body healing practitioner. Her practice is based on the belief that everyone already possesses what they need to create the lives and relationships they desire; she provides a method to help them manifest it, enabling them to access their authentic selves.

How I Work

With all my patients, I begin by establishing trust and building rapport that lessens anxiety. This is a gradual and integrative process that is both structured and in the moment; I gauge the appropriate pace based on the person’s specific needs. From there, I employ a variety of skills that teach new behaviors, replacing old “default” tendencies through practical physical application, coaching, and education.

Testimonials

Having no knowledge of the existence of a program like this, it was a god send to discover it because it is as EXACTLY what I needed. To deal with such sensitive issues is very difficult, and there just aren’t many resources that provide the space to work on them. Having suffered from a combo of PE/ED and general inexperience, I was an absolute mess sexually. But I was not content to accept that, so I reached out to Rebecca. Working with her for 3 months taught me so much about not only my issues – but about myself and how I think – and how simple things could be changed that lead to a lasting impact. That is one of the best things I learned – that these issues are often not nearly as complicated as we think and simple tweaks can be profound. If you are willing to put in the time and effort each week, this program will be successful for you. I was a lost cause, or so I thought. At the end of my work with Rebecca, the foundation was in place for me to really practice what I learned with confidence.

When you work with Rebecca with the therapy sessions, you truly get back what you give. The hardest part is being honest with yourself and what you need to address with Rebecca. The second is then being honest and putting your trust with her. With Rebecca’s nature, nurture, and sensitivity, she makes it as easy as possible for you to trust in her. From there, you truly begin to learn about yourself and overcome any insecurities through her guidance. I am not the same person that I was prior to my sessions as I became more aware and confident of myself and there are only a few people that I now respect as much as do for Rebecca.

Pornography’s effects

Recently, there was an article in The Economist on the effects of pornography entitled: “A user’s manual.”  In one section, they say that studies have found that there is little evidence that addiction is a real outgrowth of a daily pornography diet. I beg to differ. In my experience as an Intimacy Behavioral Therapist, I treat men (and women) of …
