Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In sex therapy, I provide support to individuals or couples facing challenges in their sexual lives. This involves creating a safe and non-judgmental space to explore concerns such as desire discrepancy, erectile dysfunction, arousal difficulties, or communication issues. Through therapy sessions, we work on understanding underlying factors, improving communication and intimacy, and developing strategies to address specific concerns. The goal is to enhance sexual satisfaction and overall relationship well-being.

Sex Therapy
Sheena K. Glover
Psychologist, PsyD-Clinical Psychologist
Changes in sexual desire can be alarming for couples, especially when struggling with issues such as low libido and difficulty communicating about sexual desires. This can leave them feeling lonely and concerned about the future of their relationship. Despite efforts to find solutions through various resources, many find themselves at an impasse, leading to communication breakdowns and relationship strain. At Intimacy in Progress, we foster a sex-positive environment and encourage open conversations about sexual experiences within each couple. Through empathetic therapy, we help couples navigate intimacy issues, communication barriers, and sexual challenges, empowering them to strengthen their connection and rediscover fulfillment in their relationship.

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.

Springfield is the Illinois state capital and the hometown of Abraham Lincoln, whose legacy pervades the city's identity and draws significant heritage tourism, and the mental health landscape here reflects the particular pressures of a mid-size state capital—government and public sector employment, political uncertainty, and the economic challenges of a city that has struggled to grow beyond its role as an administrative center. Memorial Health System and HSHS Medical Group both provide behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves the professional community. Common therapy concerns include government worker stress and bureaucratic burnout, economic anxiety in a city that has faced population decline, anxiety, depression, and the tensions of a state capital navigating chronic fiscal challenges and political conflict in Illinois state government. The city's central location also makes it a regional resource for mental health care across rural central Illinois.
