Sex Therapy
Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Speaking openly about sexual habits, desires, and relationships can be awkward for patients. However, I believe that open dialogue about these topics are important and normal in the therapeutic space. I do my best to make these topics as painless and natural to speak about as possible. Having a graduate certificate in LGBT Health and Policy guides many of my interventions and thoughts about sex and relationships. All I ask is that my patients come with open minds and a willingness to discuss these sometimes challenging topics. We live in a culture that is deeply oppressed around topics of sex, desires, and fetishes. It is my goal to change this by allowing patients to come as they are and speak openly to me about their feelings. Open relationships, polyamory, and ethical non-monogamy have become hot-button topics, but can be deeply misunderstood, and are often viewed as taboo. I understand that not all relationships look the same, and that not all people want the same things. Families look different, and that is something to be celebrated. I am actively staying abreast of the most current research on these topics so that I can help you to navigate their stigma while maintaining the happy, healthy bonds you have with your partners.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
One of the most ineffably upsetting and frustrating situations in relationships can be in the bedroom. Sex brings us to a new part of ourselves, which we don’t often fully understand or recognize. This uncanny feeling of confusion can be compounded when we don’t recognize our own partner’s sexual selves either. We might feel unseen, misunderstood, or uncared for. Often, problems in the bedroom represent and symbolize bigger problems that arise in the rest of the relationship. For example, you might have trouble asserting your desires with your partner in general, but in the bedroom it feels doubly intolerable to have your needs go unrecognized. Or you might feel your relationship lacks clear communication, and in the bedroom this often ends in a fight or utter hurt and confusion. By and by these common problems can lead to less and less frequent sex, which takes a toll on the relationship as a whole.
Please don’t continue to wait. You are not alone. Sexual intimacy difficulties are ubiquitous. All it takes is a little curiosity and a trained therapist to guide you to a new space of mutual desire in your partnership.

Sex Therapy
Kate Winderman
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
Our culture has taught us that talking about sex can be a scary, shameful, and at times embarrassing process. Yet at the same time, talking about sex is often the first (and perhaps most important) step towards healing sexual issues. I aim to create a safe and judgment free space to help you process through sexual concerns and move towards becoming the sexual person you hope to become. My sex therapy practice is largely centered around queer folks and woman-identified folks as they navigate a host of sexual issues including but not limited to issues with desire, self-esteem issues, navigating the impact of sexual or religious trauma, relationship issues, or just helping you come into to yourself as a sexual person.

Cary is one of the most affluent suburbs in the Research Triangle, home to a high concentration of technology and pharmaceutical workers drawn by employers like SAS Institute and the broader Research Triangle Park economy, and the city's mental health landscape is shaped by the particular stresses of high-achievement professional culture and a large transplant population navigating relocation. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, perfectionism, work-life balance, relationship difficulties, and the identity challenges of building a life in a community where many residents are far from extended family and long-term social networks. A well-developed private therapy sector serves Cary, and the proximity to Raleigh's larger market gives residents access to a wide range of specialties and modalities. The city's highly educated and professionally successful population tends toward an open and pragmatic attitude toward therapy.
