Dr. Ingrid Solano, Psychologist in West Hollywood, CA
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

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD

Hypnotherapist, PhD
Sometimes desire fades, or arousal doesn’t come when we want it to, or sex has stopped feeling like ours. I’m curious about what happens in you, and between you and a partner, when sexual life becomes difficult or when it is hard to say what you want. I work psychoanalytically, and I draw on clinical sexology, hypnosis, and awareness of the body, and we take our time finding out what these difficulties mean for you.

Liberation Therapy, Counselor/Therapist in New York City, NY
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

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.
