Therapy for Sexuality

Navigating Identity, Intimacy, and Connection

Sexuality is a deeply personal and evolving part of who we are. It shapes how we connect with ourselves and others, how we experience pleasure, and how we define intimacy and identity. Yet, for many people, sexuality can also be a source of confusion, conflict, or pain. Whether you’re exploring your sexual identity, facing intimacy challenges in a relationship, seeking to heal from sexual shame or trauma, or trying to figure out the natural changes in your body with aging, therapy can provide a safe and affirming space for understanding and growth..

An Affirming and Nonjudgmental Space

Our work together is grounded in respect, compassion, and inclusivity. Regardless of your sexual orientation, gender identity, or relationship structure, you will find a safe and supportive space to express yourself freely. Therapy is not about labeling or “fixing” — it’s about understanding your experiences, unpacking messages you’ve received about sex and identity, and creating space for authenticity and self-acceptance.

How Therapy Can Help

Sexuality-related concerns can touch on many areas of life—emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual. In therapy, we work collaboratively to help you:

  • Explore and affirm your sexual identity or orientation.

  • Improve communication and intimacy in relationships.

  • Address mismatched desire, performance anxiety, or sexual avoidance.

  • Heal from sexual trauma or shame.

  • Navigate life transitions that affect sexual expression (e.g., aging, parenthood, illness, or menopause).

  • Develop a healthier, more empowered relationship with your body and sexuality.

What to Expect

In sessions, we’ll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and experiences shape your relationship with sexuality. Depending on your goals, therapy may involve:

  • Psychoeducation about sexual health and communication.

  • Processing past experiences that affect intimacy today.

  • Mindfulness or somatic approaches to reconnect with your body.

  • Relationship work to rebuild trust and closeness.

You don’t need to have all the answers when you come to therapy. Many clients start simply with curiosity or a desire to feel more at peace with who they are. Together, we’ll move toward a place of confidence, connection, and wholeness.
