Sex Therapy
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
Sexuality can be one of the most intimate expressions of who we are, which is also why sex can become so complicated. Difficulties with sex often carry emotional meanings that are not immediately obvious and may be connected to how we have learned to experience closeness, vulnerability, or our own bodies. I offer a sex-positive space where sexuality can be spoken about openly and without judgment. The work is less about deciding what is “normal” and more about understanding what your sexual life means to you, so that desire and intimacy can feel less constrained by fear or shame.

Dr. Mike Abrams
Psychologist, PhD, MBA, ABPP
My books include a textbook on sexuality and I teach sex therapy and sexuality at NYU. Having taught sexuality for decades has guided me to be effective in helping people with adversities related to sex. I have treated people with virtually ever conceivable sexual problem and most have benefitted from my help. I understand the strong emotions, such as shame and guilt when confronting problems related on ones sexual function or desires. Over many decades, I continually improved my skills, knowledge and empathy.

Sex Therapy
Zaray Dratch
Pre-Licensed Professional, MFT-LP
Sex is one of the last things couples talk about in therapy, and usually one of the first things that signals something is wrong. Low desire, mismatched libidos, pain during sex, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, feeling disconnected from your own body or from your partner, these are real, common, and treatable. They are also almost never just about sex.
What happens in the bedroom is connected to everything else, trust, communication, stress, history, how safe you feel, how seen you feel. Sex therapy here doesn't treat the symptom in isolation. It looks at the whole picture.
This is a space where you can say the thing you've been too embarrassed to bring up anywhere else. What's not working. What you want but haven't asked for. What used to feel good and doesn't anymore. What you've never tried but want to. Nothing you say will land with shock or judgment. These conversations are normal here, because they should be normal everywhere.
Whether you're coming as a couple or on your own, the goal is the same: helping you have a sexual life that actually feels good, connected, and like yours.

Sex Therapy
Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Sex therapy is just therapy — about one of the most human parts of being alive. I work with concerns about desire, arousal, pain, orgasm, and intimacy in a way that is direct, nonjudgmental, and clinically grounded. Nothing you bring here will shock me. We will talk about it plainly, and we will actually work on it.

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.
