Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Sex therapy addresses concerns related to desire, arousal, intimacy, and sexual self-expression within the broader context of emotional and relational life. My work integrates psychoanalytic methods, clinical sexology, hypnosis, and somatic awareness to explore the deeper meanings beneath sexual struggles. Together, we work toward a more coherent, embodied, and authentic relationship with desire and intimacy.

Dr. Anna Smith

As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I specialize in helping individuals and couples address desire differences, low libido, sexual anxiety, shame, intimacy challenges, erectile difficulties, pain during sex, or simply wanting a more connected and satisfying erotic life. We talk openly about sex without flinching, explore the emotional and relational factors that influence desire and pleasure, and create practical, shame-free steps toward the intimacy you crave. Sex therapy here is warm, collaborative, and deeply affirming of all bodies, orientations, and expressions of sexuality.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Sex therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore concerns related to sexuality, intimacy, relationships, and just being a sexual person. Therapy may address challenges such as desire discrepancies, communication around intimacy, sexual anxiety, body image concerns, pain during sex, life transitions, identity exploration, or the impact of stress and past experiences on intimacy. Grounded in education, emotional awareness, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, sessions are tailored to each couple’s unique values, goals, and experiences. Sex therapy affirms that sexuality is a meaningful part of overall well-being and supports clients in developing greater confidence, connection, communication, and comfort within themselves and their relationships.

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.

Ironville is a small Boyd County community outside Ashland in eastern Kentucky's tri-state corner, where the Ohio River joins Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia. Like its neighbors, it carries the psychological weight of Appalachia's economic transitions and the opioid crisis, in a culture where resilience is prized and formal therapy has historically carried stigma. Residents typically reach services through Ashland's regional healthcare providers, with faith communities and telehealth filling important gaps.
