Sex Therapy
Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Sexuality is an important part of being human, yet it can be surprisingly difficult to find a place where you can talk about it openly and without judgment. I work with individuals and couples on concerns related to desire, intimacy, sexual communication, sexual functioning, differing levels of desire, shame, identity, and creating more satisfying sexual relationships. My approach is sex-positive, kink-aware, and affirming of consensual BDSM, alternative relationship structures, and diverse expressions of sexuality. You shouldn’t have to censor yourself or worry about shocking your therapist—we can talk honestly about what’s happening, what you want, and what may be getting in the way.

Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
I am a certified sex therapist, offering both individual and couples therapy. Sexual concerns are more common than people often realize, yet can feel difficult to talk about. I offer a comfortable, nonjudgmental space to explore your experiences, questions, and goals at your own pace. I assist with issues related to sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, overall satisfaction, and pain.

Sex Therapy
Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I do some sex therapy typically with my couples that get stuck in a rut and losing some of the sexy joy of sexual intimacy. But I also help individuals work through issues around sex to whether it be performance anxiety, difficulties with sex drive, exploring sexuality, or really anything else in this realm.

Sex Therapy
Sheena K. Glover
Psychologist, PsyD-Clinical Psychologist
Changes in sexual desire can be alarming for couples, especially when struggling with issues such as low libido and difficulty communicating about sexual desires. This can leave them feeling lonely and concerned about the future of their relationship. Despite efforts to find solutions through various resources, many find themselves at an impasse, leading to communication breakdowns and relationship strain. At Intimacy in Progress, we foster a sex-positive environment and encourage open conversations about sexual experiences within each couple. Through empathetic therapy, we help couples navigate intimacy issues, communication barriers, and sexual challenges, empowering them to strengthen their connection and rediscover fulfillment in their relationship.

St. Louis sits at a crossroads of the Midwest and the South, and its deeply segregated geography shapes a mental health landscape where therapists frequently address racial trauma, economic stress, and community-level grief rooted in the city's long history of systemic inequality. The 2014 Ferguson uprising brought national attention to St. Louis and left a lasting psychological mark on many residents, and therapists specializing in racial trauma, activism fatigue, and community healing remain in strong demand. Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital provide world-class institutional mental health resources, with a strong private practice community concentrated in Clayton, the Central West End, and South City. St. Louis's lower cost of living relative to coastal cities makes quality private therapy more financially accessible for many residents.
