Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sex therapy is talk therapy, but with a different focus and skill set: understanding how the body works and how pleasure and sex are experienced, often separate from the cultural, societal and religious norms and different than mass media portrayal. Sex and sexuality conversations in the therapy room are rooted in this understanding. The work at times is helping you to be vulnerable with yourself to understand better what your needs and wants are and to be able to express these things to your partner.
Sex therapy can go beyond this to include sexual abuse and assault and what is commonly referred to as "sex addiction" but at PHL Therapy Collective is treated more as "out of control behavior" that focuses on the triggers that lead to sex seeking.

Dr. Susan L. Waldo
Psychologist, PhD
Sex Therapy is necessary sub-specialty for anyone who works with couples because often when couples struggle, one of the areas of struggle is sex. I provide new and innovative strategies in conducting sex therapy that focuses on the needs and wants of both partners in the relationship. I also help couples for whom traditional sex is no longer possible due to illness or medications, to find sensual, sexy ways to connect intimately even though intercourse is no longer possible.

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.

Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Matters of intimacy can be physical in nature that, in some ways, connect with our emotional lives and can become more complicated as we grow into our relationships with others.
