Sex Therapy
Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Speaking openly about sexual habits, desires, and relationships can be awkward for patients. However, I believe that open dialogue about these topics are important and normal in the therapeutic space. I do my best to make these topics as painless and natural to speak about as possible. Having a graduate certificate in LGBT Health and Policy guides many of my interventions and thoughts about sex and relationships. All I ask is that my patients come with open minds and a willingness to discuss these sometimes challenging topics. We live in a culture that is deeply oppressed around topics of sex, desires, and fetishes. It is my goal to change this by allowing patients to come as they are and speak openly to me about their feelings. Open relationships, polyamory, and ethical non-monogamy have become hot-button topics, but can be deeply misunderstood, and are often viewed as taboo. I understand that not all relationships look the same, and that not all people want the same things. Families look different, and that is something to be celebrated. I am actively staying abreast of the most current research on these topics so that I can help you to navigate their stigma while maintaining the happy, healthy bonds you have with your partners.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Matters of intimacy can be physical in nature that, in some ways, connect with our emotional lives and can become more complicated as we grow into our relationships with others.

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
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.
