DC | Virginia | Pennsylvania | Oregon

You've often felt unheard, struggling to overcome emotional vulnerability, and found that the spark of interest and excitement has dimmed over time…

In the quiet corners of your mind, the nagging whispers of self-doubt and perfectionism keep echoing: "Am I enough?", "Could I have done better?", "What if I'm not truly worthy?".

Past relationship wounds have left you cautious and longing for connection that not only heals those hurts but also rekindles the passion and vitality you seek.

Your sexuality is an intrinsic part of who you are, and it can be impacted in various ways by the pressures of self-doubt and perfectionism. Maybe you find it challenging to fully let go and be present with your partner(s). Perhaps you've noticed a decrease in desire or difficulty achieving satisfaction. It's also common to experience pelvic pain or discomfort, which can further complicate matters.

Maybe you can relate:

  • "I'm always worried they'll betray me."

  • "I don't feel like I deserve love or closeness."

  • "I'm worried I won't be good enough.”

  • "I get anxious about how I'll perform, and then I can't get in the mood."

  • "There's a physical problem, and I don't know what's wrong. There's this tightness or pain that I feel.

These thoughts are common. But what if you could turn down their volume?

What if you could embrace your sexuality and intimacy?

Because every woman deserves to feel whole and worthy. Are you ready to take the leap?

How SEX THERAPY works

Sex therapy is a safe space where you can openly discuss your sexual concerns and explore ways to improve your sexual well-being. It's not just about physical issues; it also addresses emotional and relational aspects. In therapy, you'll learn effective communication, build self-confidence, and rediscover pleasure in your sexual experiences.

Your first session is usually about building trust and understanding your concerns. It's a safe and comfortable environment where you set the pace. You won't be pushed to discuss anything you're not ready to share, and your therapist will ensure you feel at ease throughout the session.

The duration of sex therapy varies based on your needs and goals. Some people notice improvements after just a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term therapy. Your therapist will work with you to create a personalized plan that aligns with your progress.
