Sex Therapy
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Relational Psychoanalyst, LCSW, Psychotherapist
Sexuality can be one of the most intimate expressions of who we are, which is also why sex can become so complicated. Difficulties with sex often carry emotional meanings that are not immediately obvious and may be connected to how we have learned to experience closeness, vulnerability, or our own bodies. I offer a sex-positive space where sexuality can be spoken about openly and without judgment. The work is less about deciding what is “normal” and more about understanding what your sexual life means to you, so that desire and intimacy can feel less constrained by fear or shame.

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.

Allen Shamon

I work with individuals and couples to address a wide range of sexual concerns and dysfunctions. This may involve exploring factors contributing to sexual difficulties, identifying cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns that may be maintaining the issue, and developing tailored treatment plans to address the root causes of the concern. I employ evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, sensate focus exercises, and communication skills training to help clients overcome sexual challenges and enhance sexual satisfaction.

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).

Santa Clarita is a large suburban city north of Los Angeles in the Santa Clarita Valley — one of the primary bedroom communities for the entertainment industry, with a significant population of production workers, crew members, and support staff whose careers are tied to the cycles of film and television production. The city's family-oriented, relatively conservative character contrasts with the precarious employment reality of many of its entertainment-connected residents, and therapists frequently address creative career anxiety, the boom-bust psychology of production employment, and the identity challenges of supporting roles in an industry that prizes visibility. Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community. Santa Clarita's suburban sprawl and car-dependent layout contribute to social isolation themes that therapists encounter frequently.
