Sex Therapy
Kelley Hopkins-Alvarez
Licensed Professional Counselor, Couples Therapy, Affair & Betrayal Recovery, Certified Sex Therapy, Certified Discernment Counselor
As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I offer specialized Sex Therapy exclusively in-person at my Ridgefield, Connecticut office. Many couples travel to my office because they value working face-to-face with a therapist whose practice is devoted exclusively to couples.
I help partners understand how emotional connection, attachment, trust, intimacy, sex influence one another. Sexual concerns are rarely isolated; difficulty communicating about sex, differences in desire, diminished intimacy, sexual pain, shame, perimenopause, menopause, andropause, resentment, rejection, and betrayal may reflect deeper patterns within the relationship. Even if some partners are no longer seeking to restore intimacy in their current relationship, they often find that my sex therapy background provides valuable insight as they consider their relationship history and what comes next. Sex Therapy in my office is talk therapy and never involves any physical contact between therapist and clients.

Sex Therapy
Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Sex therapy is just therapy — about one of the most human parts of being alive. I work with concerns about desire, arousal, pain, orgasm, and intimacy in a way that is direct, nonjudgmental, and clinically grounded. Nothing you bring here will shock me. We will talk about it plainly, and we will actually work on it.

Sex Therapy
Aguirre Center for Inclusive Psychotherapy
Psychologist
Social anxiety can make connection feel risky, exhausting, or out of reach, even when you deeply want closeness. We help clients understand the fears, past experiences, and self-critical beliefs that may contribute to anxiety in social situations. Therapy can support greater self-confidence, emotional safety, and freedom to connect more authentically with others.

Sex Therapy
Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Sex therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore concerns related to sexuality, intimacy, relationships, and just being a sexual person. Therapy may address challenges such as desire discrepancies, communication around intimacy, sexual anxiety, body image concerns, pain during sex, life transitions, identity exploration, or the impact of stress and past experiences on intimacy. Grounded in education, emotional awareness, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, sessions are tailored to each couple’s unique values, goals, and experiences. Sex therapy affirms that sexuality is a meaningful part of overall well-being and supports clients in developing greater confidence, connection, communication, and comfort within themselves and their relationships.

Sex Therapy
Dr. Meara Queen
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
My journey began by being interested in becoming a sex researcher. A few existential crises later, I realized that was not the exact path I wanted to take, but my knowledge and expertise helps me treat client concerns holistically, especially for a subject that is often taboo and difficult to discuss.
