Sex Therapy
Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Sexual difficulties are rarely just physical, they’re usually connected to trust, self-worth, or unspoken relational dynamics. I work with individuals and couples in a direct, non-judgemental way to understand what’s underneath the presenting issue and build a healthier relationship with intimacy.

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
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
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.

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.
