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
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
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.

Sex Therapy
Shauna Farabaugh
Life Coach, Certified Somatic Sex Educator, Board Certified Sexologist, Certified TRE provider
Somatic sex education is a phenomenal modality for addressing sexual concerns, especially sexual confidence, sexual communication, low libido, reliable access to orgasm (or access for the first time), navigating the impact of illness or disability on sexuality, and erectile concerns. It's an embodied education or coaching model, not therapy. You are NOT broken. You CAN learn skills to increase your sexual satisfaction. And as you deepen your awareness of you body, you will discover more pleasure than you thought possible. Ready to take the first step towards more pleasure? Contact me today for your FREE consultation.

Oakland has a politically engaged, social-justice-oriented community where many therapists approach their work through an anti-oppression lens, specializing in racial trauma, activist burnout, and healing within BIPOC communities. The city's proximity to San Francisco means therapists here frequently work with the compounding stresses of the Bay Area housing crisis, economic displacement, and the grief of gentrification. Oakland has strong LGBTQ+ and creative communities, with demand for affirming therapists who work at the intersection of identity, community belonging, and personal well-being. Highland Hospital and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland provide institutional anchors alongside a network of independent practitioners.
