Sex Therapy
Adela Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
Intimacy is more than physical—it’s about emotional connection, trust, and feeling safe with one another. When couples struggle with mismatched desire, avoidance, or sexual dysfunction, it can feel deeply isolating. In therapy, I help partners talk openly about intimacy without shame, understand each other’s needs, and create a fulfilling sexual connection that strengthens your bond.

Elnaz Mayeh (WellBeCounseling)
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, EMDR Trained
As a sexologist, I help individuals and couples navigate the complexities of intimacy, desire, and connection. Whether you’re struggling with desire discrepancies, sexual dysfunctions, or just wanting to deepen your sexual self-understanding, I create a safe, shame-free space to talk about what most people find hard to say out loud. I believe the biggest sexual organ is the brain, so much of sexual health starts with how we think, feel, and communicate. Together, we’ll work toward rebuilding confidence, pleasure, and authentic connection because great sex starts with self-awareness and emotional safety.
