Sex Therapy
Peter D. Ruffini
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II
Sex therapy at Proven Path Counseling focuses on restoring emotional and physical intimacy after disruption—whether from performance anxiety, excessive pornography use, compulsive sexual behavior, infidelity, or a breach of trust. Many men want connection again but feel blocked by anxiety, shame, avoidance, or disconnection from their partner.
This work addresses the underlying drivers—nervous system dysregulation, conditioned arousal, distorted expectations, and fear of closeness—so intimacy becomes safe, responsive, and mutual again. The goal is not just sexual functioning, but rebuilding trust, presence, and confidence within a committed relationship.

Sex Therapy
Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Sex therapy with me is a shame‑free space to talk about desire, arousal, pain, performance concerns, or feeling “shut down” sexually. We explore the intersections of trauma, culture, faith, and identity with your sexual story and use education, communication tools, and nervous‑system work to support more satisfying, authentic intimacy individually or with a partner.

Sex Therapy
Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with individuals and couples to address a wide range of sexual concerns and dysfunctions. This may involve exploring factors contributing to sexual difficulties, identifying cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns that may be maintaining the issue, and developing tailored treatment plans to address the root causes of the concern. I employ evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, sensate focus exercises, and communication skills training to help clients overcome sexual challenges and enhance sexual satisfaction.
