Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Sexual concerns can affect confidence, intimacy, relationships, and emotional well-being. Clients may seek support for differences in desire, difficulty communicating needs, performance anxiety, painful past experiences, shame, or changes related to health and life transitions.
I provide a confidential, respectful, and nonjudgmental space for individuals and couples to explore sexuality, intimacy, boundaries, and connection. Together, we work to improve communication, reduce anxiety and shame, and develop a healthier relationship with sexual well-being. When concerns may involve medical factors, I encourage collaboration with appropriate healthcare professionals.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Sex therapy is a form of counseling intended to help individuals and couples resolve sexual difficulties, such as performance anxiety or relationship problems. I support couples in restoring trust, rebuilding intimacy, and reigniting healthy, passionate sex. Some choose to attend sessions alone; others bring their partner with them. Session frequency and length usually depend on the client and the type of problem being addressed.
Sexual health is an essential part of overall emotional and physical well-being. But if you’re experiencing a sexual problem, the last thing you probably want to do is talk about it. However, you aren't alone! 43 percent of women and 31 percent of men report some degree of sexual dysfunction.
Sex therapy is a type of psychotherapy that also takes into account possible physical problems. For this reason (among others), sex therapy requires special training. When a couple comes in with a sexual problem, we try to figure out how each of them could be contributing to the issue. We examine what is going on, gradually interpret this in the context of their sexual history/experiences, tease apart cultural/societal influences, and come up with solutions
Sex therapy utilizes a variety of approaches to treat sexual dysfunction. In addition to the techniques outlined by Masters and Johnson, sex therapy includes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), emotion-based therapy, and couples communication techniques. It’s important to know that sex therapy sessions do not involve any physical contact or sexual activity. I usually assign “homework”—practical activities that clients are expected to complete in the privacy of their own home.
