Laura Potel
Therapist, LCAT, CST
As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I have specialized training and experience helping clients navigate a range of sexual difficulties, including sexual dysfunction, sexual anxiety, sexual pain, difficulties with sexual interest or arousal, out of control sexual behaviors, sexual trauma, sexual shame, sexual identity, exploring BDSM or kink, desire discrepancies in relationships, expanding sexual creativity, consensual non-monogamy, and more.

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.

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.

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.

Abby Thompson
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT
Sexuality is a vital part of all human experience, yet we get all kinds of mixed messages on how it's supposed to work. My approach is unwaveringly body-positive and sex-positive with an emphasis on safety, curiosity, and embodiment. We explore desire, arousal, avoidance, and shame as meaningful signals rather than problems to fix, and work toward sex that feels more present, communicative, and aligned with who you actually are.
