Certified AASECT Sex Therapy

If you’re considering individual or couples sex therapy you're taking an important step towards enhancing intimacy, addressing sexual health concerns, and embracing overall sexual wellness. Our team, led by AASECT Certified Sex Therapist Patricia, offers compassionate support tailored to your unique needs and relationship structure—whether you’re in a monogamous relationship, practicing consensual nonmonogamy, or exploring other configurations.

What is Sex Therapy?

Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy designed to help individuals, couples, and people in various relationship forms address the medical, psychological, and interpersonal factors that impact sexual satisfaction and well-being. In a safe, non-judgmental space, you’ll explore your sexual concerns, gain valuable insights, and learn evidence-based behavioral exercises to improve intimacy and sexual wellness.

Specialties

While we work with a variety of concerns related to sexual health and intimacy, we specialize in:

  • Couples Sex Therapy: Strengthening intimacy, enhancing communication, and overcoming sexual challenges in long-term relationships

  • Intimacy & Desire Discrepancies: Helping partners with differing levels of desire find connection and balance

  • We help survivors of sexual abuse reconnect with their bodies and reclaim a sense of safety and agency. Partners learn how trauma impacts intimacy, so together you can rebuild trust and create a more connected, empowered relationship.

  • Sexual Wellness: Addressing anorgasmia (difficulty achieving orgasm), dyspareunia (sexual pain), low libido, arousal concerns, erectile dysfunction, and performance anxiety

  • Consensual Nonmonogamy & Polyamory: Navigating boundaries, agreements, and dynamics in nontraditional relationship structures

  • Kinks & Fetishes: Creating safety, trust, and mutual understanding around sexual preferences

  • Chronic Illness & Disability: Addressing sexual wellness in the context of physical limitations and ongoing health concerns
