I am ISADORA ALMAN, MFT,  a Board certified sexologist and a California licensed psychotherapist and counselor. I am a former radio talk show host and frequent radio and TV guest, and a lecturer and workshop leader on a variety of communications topics. "Ask Isadora," my syndicated advice column on sex and relationships, has appeared in news weeklies nationwide for more than twenty-five years.

My book Doing It: Real People Having Really Good Sex is a collection of sexy suggestions and helpful hints on relationships and sex from  column readers and Forum members. I am also the author of two collections of Q & As from columns: Let's Talk Sex, and Ask Isadora as well as Sex Information, May I Help You?, a peek behind the scenes of a sex help phone line which still flourishes in San Francisco today. I have downloads and booklets available on the most frequently asked about subjects: meeting new people, enjoying sex with safety and improving couples' communication. See under Publications here.

Read my twice a month essays on Sex and Sociability online on Psychology Today (www.psychologytoday.com/blog/sex-sociability)

I also have a novel available in paperback and as an e-book available under Publications.  It is called Bluebirds of Impossible Paradises: A Sexual Odyssey of the Seventies.

I conduct my private counseling practice in Alameda, in the San Francisco Bay Area. For more information on my counseling services look under Counseling Services here.
