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 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.

Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I do some sex therapy typically with my couples that get stuck in a rut and losing some of the sexy joy of sexual intimacy. But I also help individuals work through issues around sex to whether it be performance anxiety, difficulties with sex drive, exploring sexuality, or really anything else in this realm.
