Sex Therapy
Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Sexual concerns can affect both individuals and couples, often leading to frustration, shame, or disconnection. Whether you’re struggling with desire differences, performance anxiety, intimacy challenges, or the impact of past experiences, therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore these issues. My approach focuses on open communication, education, and practical strategies to reduce anxiety and increase pleasure, connection, and confidence. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more comfortable in your body, more connected in your relationships, and more empowered in your sexual well-being.

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.

Sex Therapy
Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
Sex can be a source of joy, connection, and play. Or a source of frustration, confusion, and pain. Whether you’re dealing with mismatched desire, lack of intimacy, sexual dysfunction, or the impact of trauma, you’re not alone. I help couples talk about sex in a safe, open way and rebuild a physical connection that feels good for both of you. Intimacy is worth working on.
