Sex Therapy
Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Sexual concerns can be influenced by emotional, relational, and physiological factors. As a certified sex therapist, I provide a comfortable, nonjudgmental space to explore issues such as desire discrepancies, performance anxiety, trauma, and communication. Therapy focuses on helping you build a more connected, satisfying, and authentic sexual experience.

Matthew Bishop

Concerns about sex are often difficult to talk about, even in close relationships. I work with clients to address issues like desire, performance, or communication in ways that reduce shame and create healthier intimacy.

Sex Therapy
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I provide sex therapy for individuals and couples who want to improve intimacy, desire, communication, and overall sexual satisfaction. I have training in sex therapy, including education informed by Barry McCarthy’s work, which emphasizes healthy, pleasure focused sexuality rather than performance or pressure. My approach centers on helping people develop a more confident, connected, and realistic relationship with sex.
In therapy, we work to understand how stress, anxiety, shame, past experiences, medical concerns, or relationship dynamics may be affecting your sex life. This may include support with sexual dysfunction, desire differences, intimacy concerns, or difficulties communicating about sex. I help clients move away from goal driven or fear based sexual patterns and toward experiences that feel more relaxed, mutual, and fulfilling.
I also offer affirming sex therapy for LGBTQ individuals and couples, as well as those in non traditional or non monogamous relationships. Therapy provides a space to explore sexuality openly and respectfully, without judgment or assumptions, so that your sexual expression aligns with your values, comfort, and sense of connection.
