Sex therapy can be a rich journey of self-discovery, connection, and healing. Clients often explore:

Navigating Desire, Arousal, and Satisfaction

We help normalize the ebb and flow of sexual desire and provide strategies to reignite connection, discover new sources of arousal, and increase satisfaction.

Exploring Kinks, Fetishes, and Fantasies

There's nothing wrong with curiosity. We provide a safe space to talk about your fantasies, explore kink-friendly frameworks, and remove shame from the equation.

Healing from Shame, Guilt, or Past Trauma

Whether trauma stems from past experiences, culture, or religion, we work with compassion to untangle shame and promote sexual liberation.

Sex isn’t just about physical mechanics—it’s about how you feel connected, safe, and seen in your relationship. Our therapists use approaches rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and somatic awareness to help you co-create deeper connection and intimacy.

When sexual challenges are met with compassion and understanding, emotional intimacy deepens. Our integrative therapy process helps you:

Rebuild trust and connection
Understand each other’s needs and turn-ons
Express vulnerability without fear of rejection

Develop new language around intimacy and pleasure

Everyone deserves to feel empowered in their sexuality and relationships.

Individuals

You don’t need a partner to benefit. We work with individuals to help them explore their identities, work through dysfunctions, or build confidence in their sexual self.

Couples

Couples come to us for help with desire discrepancies, intimacy erosion, or post-betrayal healing. We help bridge those gaps with compassion and tools for reconnection.

Non-Traditional Partnerships

We welcome throuples, polycules, queer relationships, and any form of consensual loving connections.

Greater emotional closeness and bonding
Enhanced communication around needs and desires
Renewed physical intimacy and connection

Empowered, shame-free sexual expression

Compassionate & Inclusive Sex Therapy at Heart of Mind Therapy

What Is Sex Therapy?

Sex therapy is a specialized form of talk therapy that focuses on addressing sexual concerns, desires, dysfunctions, and intimacy-related challenges. Whether you're navigating a loss of desire, dealing with arousal issues, or exploring your identity and preferences, sex therapy provides a supportive space for open conversation.

At Heart of Mind Therapy, we see sexuality as an integral part of your overall well-being. Our goal is to help you better understand your sexual self, free of judgment or shame, and in a way that aligns with your values and relational needs.

Addressing Common Sexual Concerns

Many people seek sex therapy for reasons such as:

Mismatched libidos in a relationship
Difficulty with arousal or orgasm
Painful intercourse or performance anxiety
Confusion or curiosity around sexual orientation or preferences
Healing after sexual trauma or betrayal
Navigating ethical non-monogamy, kink, or fetish interests

No concern is too small or too taboo. At Heart of Mind Therapy, we meet you where you are.

Our Integrative Approach to Sex and Relational Therapy

We believe that emotional intimacy and sexual connection are deeply interwoven. Our therapists specialize in integrating sex therapy with relational therapy to help individuals and couples strengthen not just their sex lives, but their emotional connection too.

Blending Emotional and Physical Intimacy

Many sexual challenges stem from emotional disconnects or unresolved relational tension. Through relational therapy techniques, we address:

Communicationbreaksdown
Attachment styles and unmet needs
Relationship conflict spills into the bedroom

When these emotional barriers are addressed, physical intimacy often flourishes naturally.
