Sex Therapy therapists in Cottleville, Missouri MO
Melanie Bettes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, Coach
Many people are involved in kink, and many therapists are uncomfortable with it, or simply haven't tried to understand it. Often they will not talk about sex at all in a session, when it can be such a huge part of our life and the way we interact with our partners. This leaves some relationships within the kink umbrella vulnerable and without support from qualified therapists.
Many therapists simply misunderstand the dynamics involved. Some think it's purely a response to trauma. Some think even worse. But studies don't support the common misperceptions around kink. I follow Justin Lehmiller, one of the current sex researchers and educators, who is one in a long line of researchers and therapists like Kinsey, Shere Hite, Master's & Johnson, Dr Sue Johanssen, and Dr Ruth.

Dr. Adam Shafer
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.
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.

Dr. Susan L. Waldo
Psychologist, PhD
Sex Therapy is necessary sub-specialty for anyone who works with couples because often when couples struggle, one of the areas of struggle is sex. I provide new and innovative strategies in conducting sex therapy that focuses on the needs and wants of both partners in the relationship. I also help couples for whom traditional sex is no longer possible due to illness or medications, to find sensual, sexy ways to connect intimately even though intercourse is no longer possible.
