Sex Therapy
Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
Sex therapy is a form of counseling intended to help individuals and couples resolve sexual difficulties, such as performance anxiety or relationship problems. I support couples in restoring trust, rebuilding intimacy, and reigniting healthy, passionate sex. Some choose to attend sessions alone; others bring their partner with them. Session frequency and length usually depend on the client and the type of problem being addressed.
Sexual health is an essential part of overall emotional and physical well-being. But if you’re experiencing a sexual problem, the last thing you probably want to do is talk about it. However, you aren't alone! 43 percent of women and 31 percent of men report some degree of sexual dysfunction.
Sex therapy is a type of psychotherapy that also takes into account possible physical problems. For this reason (among others), sex therapy requires special training. When a couple comes in with a sexual problem, we try to figure out how each of them could be contributing to the issue. We examine what is going on, gradually interpret this in the context of their sexual history/experiences, tease apart cultural/societal influences, and come up with solutions
Sex therapy utilizes a variety of approaches to treat sexual dysfunction. In addition to the techniques outlined by Masters and Johnson, sex therapy includes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), emotion-based therapy, and couples communication techniques. It’s important to know that sex therapy sessions do not involve any physical contact or sexual activity. I usually assign “homework”—practical activities that clients are expected to complete in the privacy of their own home.

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.

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
Shauna Farabaugh
Life Coach, Certified Somatic Sex Educator, Board Certified Sexologist, Certified TRE provider
Somatic sex education is a phenomenal modality for addressing sexual concerns, especially sexual confidence, sexual communication, low libido, reliable access to orgasm (or access for the first time), navigating the impact of illness or disability on sexuality, and erectile concerns. It's an embodied education or coaching model, not therapy. You are NOT broken. You CAN learn skills to increase your sexual satisfaction. And as you deepen your awareness of you body, you will discover more pleasure than you thought possible. Ready to take the first step towards more pleasure?

13 Years Experience
Online in Rochester, NY New York
Rochester's identity has been shaped by the legacy of companies like Kodak and Xerox — their rise defining the city's mid-20th-century prosperity and their decline leaving a post-industrial community grappling with poverty, population loss, and the psychological challenges of navigating a city in long-term contraction. The University of Rochester Medical Center provides a major institutional mental health anchor — including one of the country's leading psychiatry departments — alongside a private therapy community concentrated in Brighton, Pittsford, and the Park Avenue neighborhood. Rochester's large Black and Latino communities, concentrated in the city's urban core, experience significant mental health inequities, and culturally affirming therapists are an important but undersupplied part of the local landscape. Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester contribute academic energy to a city that holds significant intellectual capital despite its economic challenges.
