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
Joanna Vergoth
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, NCPsyA
Sexual concerns are often deeply intertwined with attachment patterns, trauma history, shame, and relational dynamics. I provide psychosexually informed therapy that integrates trauma-focused, psychodynamic, and relational approaches. Whether addressing desire discrepancies, intimacy challenges, sexual anxiety, or trauma-related sexual difficulties, we work collaboratively to create safety and openness. Therapy supports reclaiming sexuality as a source of connection, agency, and authentic expression rather than fear or obligation.
