HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
Sex coaching/therapy/education can be a hornets nest. I have been actively in the sex positive community for the last 15 years. Much of our programming around sex has to do with our upbringing with parents, religion, culture, and education or lack there of. And to make matters more confusing, most of the charge we get from sex and fantasies is in our head and thoughts, not our genitals. I concentrate on safe and consensual sex first and foremost and not assumptions based upon my beliefs and practices. To understand sex fully it is necessary to look at it from a sexual energy perspective since sex can cause procreation, and, if used channeled responsibly, other manifestations. Since talking about sex is frequently taboo, I have found that most people do not know much about sex, sexual energy, lovemaking, fetishes, and kinks. Some people have so much shame and guilt from religion that they cannot even talk to their partner(s) about it. In sex therapy I bring all the aspects of sex and sexual energy to the table to discuss and explore without shame and guilt.

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.

Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Sex can become a source of pressure, rejection, shame, or disconnection even in relationships where love and commitment are strong. I am a trained sex therapist who works with individuals and couples who feel disconnected from their erotic selves, struggle with mismatched desire, or are dissatisfied with what their sex life looks like. Together, we explore what may be getting in the way, including relationship dynamics, trauma, body image, shame, difficulty accessing your own needs, or patterns of pursuing and avoiding intimacy. Our work goes beyond addressing a sexual concern in isolation; it is about reconnecting with your sexuality, vitality, and capacity for pleasure while building a sexual life that feels authentic, mutual, and alive.
