Sex Therapy
Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I offer sex therapy from a sex-positive, trauma-informed, and non-judgmental perspective. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a professional dominatrix, and I now work therapeutically with many current and former sex workers, as well as people exploring diverse expressions of sexuality and relationship structures. I have presented at the AltSex Conference in New York City, and much of my clinical work involves helping people navigate desire, shame, identity, intimacy, boundaries, kink, power dynamics, and communication. I welcome individuals and couples of all orientations, gender identities, and relationship styles, and I strive to create a space where you can talk about sex openly and honestly without fear of being judged, pathologized, or misunderstood.

Anneka Gavrin
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Sex is about far more than what happens in the bedroom. It touches vulnerability, communication, desire, identity, pleasure, and the ways we connect with ourselves and our partners. Whether you're navigating differences in desire, intimacy concerns, shame, or sexual anxiety, therapy offers a supportive space to explore these experiences openly, deepen connection, and cultivate a more authentic and fulfilling intimate life.
