Aiki Relationship Institute
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Sex is an important part of intimate relationships, so working with sexual struggles has been a big part of my work with intimate relationships. There is a lot of information out there about biological problems with sex, but in reality, many of the struggles couples and individual have with sex is tied to the way their relationships work or their own thoughts and feelings about sex. There is a lot of unfortunate information about sex out there. The good news is that with education, good communication, and practice, most couples can address their sexual struggles very well.

Dr. Alishia Kalos
Psychologist, PsyD, CST
Dr. Kalos provides sex therapy for individuals and couples experiencing concerns related to sexuality, intimacy, and sexual functioning. Treatment may address desire, arousal, orgasm, erection, sexual pain, communication about sex, differences in sexual interests, and other concerns that can affect sexual well-being and relationships. Her approach is collaborative, affirming, and nonjudgmental.
Dr. Kalos specializes in working with individuals experiencing distress, confusion, or concerns related to atypical or unusual sexual interests, including individuals who experience minor attraction (MAPs).

Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Sex can become a source of pressure, rejection, shame, or disconnection even in relationships where love and commitment are strong. I am a trained sex therapist who works with individuals and couples who feel disconnected from their erotic selves, struggle with mismatched desire, or are dissatisfied with what their sex life looks like. Together, we explore what may be getting in the way, including relationship dynamics, trauma, body image, shame, difficulty accessing your own needs, or patterns of pursuing and avoiding intimacy. Our work goes beyond addressing a sexual concern in isolation; it is about reconnecting with your sexuality, vitality, and capacity for pleasure while building a sexual life that feels authentic, mutual, and alive.
