Looking for suggestions for sex therapists in NYC.

My wife (early 30's) and I (mid-30's) have been in a monogamous heterosexual relationship for 7 years, and we married a year ago. About 4 years ago, she had some psych issues for which she was prescribed Prozac. Around the same time we began having some serious problems with my uncertainty about the institution of marriage. Both of those issues resolved (her pysch thing in about one year, and my marriage hangups in two), but around the time both issues surfaced her previously strong sex drive diminished significantly, and it has never returned.

Between the age, the side-effects of Prozac (she's been off for 3 years), the side-effects of the pill (she's been off it for 6 months, with no effects so far), the lingering resentments of feeling rejected by someone you love (even after a happy engagement and year of happy marriage), and who knows what else, we need to see someone to help us do what we can to address the issue positively and proactively.

[The cause to us seems beyond the obvious, because everything otherwise is great: We both listen to one another, we make each other laugh, we're both in shape, we're both employed, we like our jobs, we have a good circle of mutual friends, we share household chores, we offer each other unsolicited compliments, & etc.]

We saw a very helpful couples therapist a couple of years ago, and he was great with our commitment issues, but at a loss for the sexual ones. He recommended someone at Cornell, who my wife had already seen, and who turned out to be a total quack that told her she had better start taking pheromones to make me more attracted to her before I leave her (my attraction for her has never been a problem). More recently she asked her OB/Gyn for insight/advice/recs, and she told my wife, "That's just what happens."

So, I am looking for any recs for good sex therapists in NYC. Any insightful anecdotes about similar problems also welcome.

Thanks, hive.
