Aguirre Center for Inclusive Psychotherapy
Psychologist
Social anxiety can make connection feel risky, exhausting, or out of reach, even when you deeply want closeness. We help clients understand the fears, past experiences, and self-critical beliefs that may contribute to anxiety in social situations. Therapy can support greater self-confidence, emotional safety, and freedom to connect more authentically with others.

Kasey Scharnett King
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S, CST
Sex therapy focuses on improving intimacy, communication, and understanding around sexual concerns. Clients often seek sex therapy when physical or emotional intimacy feels strained, confusing, or disconnected. This may include concerns related to desire differences, sexual avoidance, performance anxiety, communication about needs, or the impact of stress and life transitions on intimacy.
Our work in sex therapy is respectful, structured, and grounded in helping clients understand how emotional safety, communication, and relationship patterns influence sexual connection. Therapy provides a space to talk openly, reduce shame, and build a healthier, more intentional relationship with intimacy.

Aiki Relationship Institute
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Sex is an important part of intimate relationships, so working with sexual struggles has been a big part of my work with intimate relationships. There is a lot of information out there about biological problems with sex, but in reality, many of the struggles couples and individual have with sex is tied to the way their relationships work or their own thoughts and feelings about sex. There is a lot of unfortunate information about sex out there. The good news is that with education, good communication, and practice, most couples can address their sexual struggles very well.
