David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Concerns around intimacy, desire, or sexual functioning can be difficult to talk about, but they are more common than people often realize. These issues can affect both your personal wellbeing and your relationships. In therapy we will explore these concerns in a comfortable and respectful space, improve communication, and work toward a healthier and more satisfying connection. The goal is to help you feel more confident and at ease in this part of your life.

Sex Therapy
Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
My experience with sex therapy is this: for most of us, communication is at the core of the major issues. I certainly do look at the biological issues too, but those are actually uncommon. I also work with sexually kinky people that are being marginalized or simply need a venue to talk about something that some people might judge or disagree with. As long as your sexuality is safe, sane and consensual, I can support you, no matter how far "out there" you think you might be.

Sex Therapy
Adela Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Intimacy is more than physical—it’s about emotional connection, trust, and feeling safe with one another. When couples struggle with mismatched desire, avoidance, or sexual dysfunction, it can feel deeply isolating. In therapy, I help partners talk openly about intimacy without shame, understand each other’s needs, and create a fulfilling sexual connection that strengthens your bond.

Sex Therapy
Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Sexual challenges often intersect with developmental experiences, attachment injuries, cultural messages, or trauma. I integrate IFS, attachment theory, experiential techniques, somatics and EFT to address both the emotional and relational dimensions of intimacy.
Together, we work to reduce shame, regulate the nervous system, clarify boundaries and desires, and build secure connection—internally and within partnership. Therapy supports a sexuality that feels authentic, empowered, and grounded in consent and mutual respect.

Sex Therapy
Debbie Cherry
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sexual concerns often involve much more than sex itself — they can intersect with communication, trust, attachment, stress, desire differences, and the emotional climate of the relationship. I help couples in the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout California as well as Florida and Texas talk about intimacy more openly and understand the patterns that may be keeping them disconnected. Our work is respectful, practical, and focused on creating a sexual relationship that feels safer and more collaborative for both partners.
