Most insurance companies won't cover sex therapy (or couples counseling, for some reason, but this is changing), but they will cover normal therapy. However, a good therapist understands that sexual and marital problems often have other factors involved, and can therefore code your problems so that your insurance will cover it. Your best bet, if you have health insurance with mental health benefits, is to go through either their website or their customer service number, and get a list of numbers for therapists in your area. If you do have coverage, make sure you get the specifics of what is and isn't covered, just so you're not worried about that later.
If you don't have insurance, or your insurance doesn't cover mental health, or you're not comfortable going through your insurance for some reason, you can look in the phone book for a regular therapist. If cost is an issue and you have a lower income, ask for ones who do sliding scale fees, as they will adjust the cost to your income.
You don't have to take the first therapist or counselor you talk with. If you and your wife will be going to the same person, make sure that both of you feel that s/he is a neutral party, and that you're both comfortable with him or her. Most therapists and counselors will offer a free introductory session, so take advantage of it to get to know the therapist before you commit.
If you really want to see a sex therapist, and not a general counselor, I recommend seeing an AASECT certified therapist or counselor. You can search for an AASECT certified professional from their website, which is here: http://www.aasect.org/

Find a normal counselor or therapist. They are trained in sexuality and intimacy problems for couples as well. They can give you just as much advice, if not more, than an actually sex therapist can. Good luck to you though!

Go to the website at the bottom of my answer. It is a national directory for sex therapists. You should be able to find one in your area. Good luck

call a marriage counsellor and describe your problem, if they can't help, they know who can.
