Sex Therapy
Soaring Heart Center
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
There's one really common problem long-term relationships face: desire discrepancy. Chances are, you're in one of two roles. One role is the Pursuer, the one who hungers for more touch, more skin, more pleasure, and more connection. Or you're the one who's creating distance, feeling less desire or interest in sex. Maybe it's hard for you to connect with your own desires. Or perhaps you have, and you're afraid to share that desire with your existing partner. The outcome of sex therapy will give you clarity, confidence, and an easier way to engage in the intimacy and pleasure you desire.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PHD
Sex therapy is much like traditional psychotherapy. Sessions unfold in a similar fashion, through conversation designed to explore the concerns that drew you to sex therapy in the first place. Once it is understood what your concerns are, focus will turn toward understanding the history and development of your particular situation and it will be important to gain a clear understanding of how your presenting concern affects you, and what you hope to see change in your life. Through a combination of talk therapy, homework (reading suggestions, written exercises, or possibly physical/sexual exercises depending on the issues), you will be supported and encouraged to find greater peace with the issues that led you to therapy.

Dr. Wayne Bullock
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd
Sex is such an important part of life for most of us. However, we live in a mostly sex-negative society that leaves many people unsure of how to talk about sex, unsure of how you feel about sex, and shame about being a sexual being. This shame can manifest in many ways in your sexual life. It can cause anxiety, depression, sexual difficulties in the bedroom, and relational stress. I invite you to share this private and intimate part of your life in a space designed to promote acceptance and understanding and therefore reduce distressing feelings or experiences you might be experiencing.

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.
