Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD

Sex therapy addresses concerns related to desire, arousal, intimacy, and sexual self-expression within the broader context of emotional and relational life. My work integrates psychoanalytic methods, clinical sexology, hypnosis, and somatic awareness to explore the deeper meanings beneath sexual struggles.

Sex Therapy, Intimacy & Erotic Fulfillment
Cultivating Connection, Pleasure, and Sexual Vitality
Sexuality is a vital dimension of human well-being, emotional closeness, and quality of life. Yet, physical changes, performance stress, unaddressed trauma, or relational drift can turn intimacy into a source of anxiety, frustration, or quiet isolation.
My work in sex and intimacy therapy provides a confidential, sophisticated, and deeply non-judgmental environment for both individuals and couples. Whether you are navigating specific functional challenges or seeking to deepen your erotic connection, our work bridges physical function, emotional intimacy, and psychological freedom.
Comprehensive & Functional Care
Sexuality involves a delicate balance between the physical body, the nervous system, and emotional safety. I provide expert guidance across a broad spectrum of sexual concerns, including:
Sexual Function & Performance Anxiety: Addressing erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and performance stress by quieting the body's alarm system and restoring effortless confidence.
Desire Dynamics & Arousal Discrepancy: Helping individuals and couples navigate low libido, mismatched sexual desire, or the natural shift in erotic energy over long-term partnerships.
Somatic Comfort & Pain-Free Intimacy: Supporting individuals through painful intercourse (vaginismus, dyspareunia, or pelvic tension) by integrating gentle nervous system regulation and mind-body awareness.
Trauma-Informed Healing: Gently reprocessing past sexual trauma, bodily shame, or restrictive cultural messaging, helping you reclaim safe, joyful ownership of your body and pleasure.
Expanding Intimacy & Alternative Lifestyles
Intimacy flourishes when couples move beyond mechanical routine and cultivate genuine emotional presence, playfulness, and eroticism.
Fusing Emotional Closeness with Eroticism: Helping partners build a shared language around desire, loving touch, and mutual pleasure—learning how to cultivate deep emotional safety without sacrificing erotic spark.
Alternative Lifestyles & Consensual Non-Monogamy: Offering an informed, open-minded, and affirmative environment for individuals and couples exploring alternative relationship structures, open relationships, polyamory, or BDSM/kink dynamics.
Whether you are seeking to resolve a specific functional concern, heal from past injuries, or expand your capacity for joy and fulfillment, our work offers the privacy, safety, and expertise needed to align your sexual life with your highest personal vision.

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
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.
