I currently have medicaid as my insurance . How can I find a sex therapist in my area ? Does medicaid cover this or is it only for things like the optometrist or dentist?

Medicaid is not likely to cover a sex therapist unless the issue a person is seeking one for addresses a health or mental health condition of some kind.

You can find information on sex therapy and therapists here:

http://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/ ... erapist-do
http://www.goodtherapy.org/sex-therapy.html

And, should that sound like something that meets your needs and that you'd like to seek out, you can use a sound listing place for those professionals like here or here, or you can ask a general mental healthcare provider for a referral to a sex therapist.

You can also look up your local Medicaid office to call into them to ask about coverage for this kind of psychotherapy. That's who you want to contact with any questions about Medicaid, and who is best qualified to answer them.
