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
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.

Sex Therapy
Dr. Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST
Sex Therapy is an effective way to address many kinds of sexual concerns. It allows you to better understand your sexual preferences, fantasies, and anxieties, as well as what’s preventing you from having the sex you most enjoy. You’ll become more aware of your beliefs, feelings, values, patterns, and expectations related to sex. You’ll also have the opportunity to choose how sex can be more fulfilling and pleasurable for you.
Working in therapy to understand and address the many sources that influence your sexuality, eroticism, and desire helps to untangle unhelpful narratives about sex. This results in improved feelings and attitudes toward sex and your body. I also work with you to align your actions with your values so you can stop the cycle of shame and guilt from unfulfilling behaviors.

Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT#150479
Ropes, and whips, and chains...oh my! No matter your sexual preferences, most of us grew up in a culture where our sexuality was shamed. As adults, we may feel embarrassed or "wrong" for even having sexual desires. Discovering who you are sexually, comes with its own unique anxieties and challenges. Sex is complex; it can be an ecstatic source of joy and pleasure and it can also be a source of boredom, pain, and heartache. A lack of education around sex may prevent you from understanding how your body experiences pleasure. It takes courage to explore your likes, dislikes, and fantasies. There are also relational risks that come with communicating our preferences. How will our wishes be received? Will we be rejected or accepted? Beyond knowing how you like to express yourself sexually, there are also deeper questions we might ask, like, what is the meaning and role of sex in your life? Why do you have sex? How does trust, safety, and security influence your sex life? Therapy is place you can explore these questions, develop more intimacy with yourself, and work through any uncomfortable or confusing feelings surrounding sex. Call or email me today to schedule a free 20-minute consultation.
