Sex Therapy
Shanea McDaniel
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, APRN, PMHNP-BC
I provide compassionate, inclusive care for individuals and partners navigating sexual health, intimacy, and relationship concerns, including those in ethically non-monogamous (ENM) relationships. My collaborative, evidence-based approach offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges such as low or changing desire, sexual dysfunction, performance anxiety, intimacy concerns, and the emotional or relational dynamics that may arise in diverse relationship structures. When appropriate, I integrate medication management with supportive therapy and education to help clients improve communication, strengthen connection, enhance sexual well-being, and foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Sex Therapy
Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
Sex therapy at Proven Path Counseling focuses on restoring emotional and physical intimacy after disruption—whether from performance anxiety, excessive pornography use, compulsive sexual behavior, infidelity, or a breach of trust. Many men want connection again but feel blocked by anxiety, shame, avoidance, or disconnection from their partner.
This work addresses the underlying drivers—nervous system dysregulation, conditioned arousal, distorted expectations, and fear of closeness—so intimacy becomes safe, responsive, and mutual again. The goal is not just sexual functioning, but rebuilding trust, presence, and confidence within a committed relationship.
