Dr. Libby Bennett is a licensed clinical psychologist and certified sex therapist. She's been in private practice, working with individuals and couples, for over fifteen years. Dr. Bennett enjoys teaching Human Sexuality at the graduate psychology school in her home town. She also spends her time presenting workshops to community and professional groups. Writing a book focusing on communicating about sex seemed like a natural step, as Dr. Bennett sees the importance of honest open discussions when working with her clients. She feels that it's vitally important to be able to talk about sexual needs, whether it's with a partner or with a support person (healthcare provider or therapist). However, this wasn't always so easy for this professional! Dr. Bennett was raised by her missionary parents in Africa, and sexuality was a rather taboo subject. With training and practice, Dr. Bennett now feels comfortable with the topic and enjoys seeing the progress of her clients in openness and intimacy.
