Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
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.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
My experience is that, for most of us, communication is at the core of the major issues in the area of sexuality. 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.
