Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sexual concerns are often connected to communication, emotional intimacy, and individual experiences rather than just physical factors. I work with individuals and couples to better understand these dynamics and create a space where concerns can be explored openly and without judgment. Therapy focuses on improving connection, communication, and overall satisfaction.

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.

Piyola Derbarseghian- Sex & Relationship Therapist
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Sexuality is a vital part of our well-being, yet it’s often the part we feel most alone in. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore concerns like low desire, performance anxiety and issues, pain during sex, out-of-sync libidos, sexual shame, or questions around kink, orientation, or non-monogamy. Whether you're looking to heal, reconnect, or grow, sex therapy can help you cultivate a more fulfilling and authentic sexual self, individually or with a partner(s).

LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Sexuality, Pleasure & Intimacy: If you’re struggling with low desire, difficulty receiving pleasure, intimacy challenges, sexual shame, relationship patterns that keep repeating, body disconnection, or the lingering effects of past experiences, these issues can leave you feeling frustrated, disconnected, and unfulfilled.
As a sex therapist, sexologist, and tantra practitioner, I help individuals and couples understand the root causes of these challenges and create meaningful, lasting change. Drawing from psychology, sexual wellness education, and embodied practices, I offer a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your concerns and reconnect with yourself.
Together, we cultivate greater self-awareness, confidence, pleasure, intimacy, and authentic expression so that you can experience deeper connection in your relationships and a more vibrant relationship with your own body, sexuality, and desires.

Irvine is one of the wealthiest and most planned cities in the United States — anchored by UC Irvine and home to the regional headquarters of dozens of major corporations — with a therapy community shaped by the intersection of high-achievement academic culture, tech and finance sector burnout, and a large East Asian population that brings distinct cultural dimensions to help-seeking and mental health. The city's majority-minority population — with Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Iranian communities among the most prominent — drives strong demand for multilingual therapists who can work across multiple cultural frameworks. Hoag Hospital and the UCI Health system provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-established private practice community serving Irvine's planned residential villages. UCI's clinical psychology training program supplies a significant number of therapists to the broader Orange County ecosystem.
