Sex Therapy
Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Concerns around intimacy and sexuality can feel deeply personal and are often difficult to talk about, even in close relationships. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore topics such as sexual confidence, desire, communication, body image, and emotional or physical connection. In our work together, we look at both individual and relational factors that may be impacting intimacy while building language and tools to support healthier, more fulfilling experiences. My goal is to help you feel more comfortable, informed, and connected to yourself and your partner, while reducing shame and increasing openness around sexuality.

Sex Therapy
Polaris Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Sexual addiction is not simply about needing sex all of the time. It is a serious addiction that affects everyone close to you. Sexual compulsion, like all addictions, starts out as an escape from another problem you have in your life. As your addiction escalates, so does your risky behavior. You carry out the acts of your addiction without care of others finding out what is going on.
Types of Sexual Addiction include:
Repeated affairs
Pornography
Internet/Phone sex
Multiple partners
Compulsive masturbation
Unsafe sex
Use of prostitutes
Sexual paraphilias/unusual sexual fetishes
Sexual addiction or sexual compulsion is different from many other addictions in that the end goal of therapy is not for you to abstain from sexual activity, but to have a healthy and normal sex life.

Sex Therapy
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.

Sex Therapy
Gemstone Wellness, Inc.
Psychologist, PsyD, LCPC, LCSW, LPC
At Gemstone Wellness, sex therapy is approached as more than addressing “problems”—it is a space to understand your relationship with intimacy, desire, and connection in a deeper, more integrated way. We recognize that sexuality is shaped by your history, your body, your identity, and the messages you’ve received over time. You are not treated as broken, but as someone whose experiences make sense in context.
Our work is trauma-informed, affirming, and paced with care. Clients often come in navigating desire discrepancies, shame, disconnection, pain, or the impact of past experiences. Rather than rushing to solutions, we explore the emotional and relational roots—how your nervous system, past relationships, and identity have shaped your experience of intimacy.
We support both individuals and couples, with attention to communication, safety, pleasure, and authenticity. Our approach is explicitly LGBTQIA+ affirming and inclusive of diverse identities, relationship structures, and expressions of sexuality.
Sessions are collaborative, warm, and non-judgmental. There is space to name what hasn’t been spoken, to move at your own pace, and to build a relationship with your sexuality that feels grounded, connected, and genuinely your own.
