Sex therapy can feel vulnerable - maybe even a little scary. But the truth is, sexuality is deeply connected to your emotional, mental, and relational well-being. You deserve a space to explore it without shame, pressure, or judgment.
Sex is more than just intercourse. It’s about connection - to yourself, to your body, and to your partner. If you feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about intimacy, you’re not alone.
And you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
You deserve a fulfilling sex life.
What is sex therapy?
Sex therapy is talk therapy with a professional trained in sexuality, intimacy, and relationships. It’s not about performing or “fixing” anything - it’s about helping you understand and make sense of your experiences, break through shame, and move toward the kind of intimacy that feels fulfilling and true to you.
Some common topics that come up in sex therapy:
Feeling disconnected from your body or partner
Guilt or shame around sex and pleasure
Overcoming anxiety or past messages about sex
Navigating sexual pain or discomfort
Healing from trauma or negative experiences
Communicating your needs and desires in relationships
Changes in libido or sexual satisfaction
Extreme mood swings and other intense changes around your menstrual cycle
Sex therapy is not about pushing past discomfort - it’s about meeting yourself with curiosity, self-compassion, and safety.
Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way and move toward a version of intimacy that feels right for you.
how do i know if sex therapy would be helpful for me?
You might be considering sex therapy if:
You’re struggling with desire, satisfaction, or connection
Sex has felt different or distant since having a baby
You experience pain with penetration (dyspareunia, vaginismus)
You feel guilt or shame around sex and pleasure
You have intense mood swings and irritability around your period
Infidelity, trust, or emotional disconnection is impacting your relationship
Sexual trauma or past experiences make intimacy feel overwhelming
If sex feels like a source of stress, disconnection, or confusion, therapy can help you unpack those feelings and move toward something that feels safer, freer, and more fulfilling.
Sexual trauma
Sexual trauma has a way of making intimacy feel complicated, and maybe even impossible. Maybe you find yourself avoiding sex, feeling numb, or pushing through discomfort because “it wasn’t that bad.” Maybe shame keeps whispering that something is wrong with you.
But you are not broken.
The truth is, trauma doesn’t just go away with time. It stays in the body, shaping the way we feel about touch, trust, and connection. Healing means moving at your own pace - untangling the past, learning to feel safe in your body again, and reclaiming intimacy on your terms.
Common effects of unprocessed sexual trauma:
Anxiety, depression, or PTSD symptoms such as flashbacks or nightmares
Avoiding physical intimacy or relationships
Feeling unsafe, disconnected, or “checked out” during sex
Using sex as a way to feel love, worth, or control
Holding guilt, shame, or confusion around your experiences
Healing takes time, but you don’t have to do it alone. In therapy, we’ll focus on connection, safety, and trust—so that when you’re ready, intimacy can feel like something that belongs to you again.
