Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
I work with adults seeking to explore sexual concerns, intimacy challenges, and relationship dynamics in a safe, affirming space. I help clients address sexual desire, communication around intimacy, body confidence, and navigating sexual identity, preferences, or relationship structures.
I offer kink-affirming and poly-friendly therapy and integrate trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based approaches to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and deeper connection with oneself and partners. My approach emphasizes consent, curiosity, and empowerment, helping clients develop sexual well-being, intimacy skills, and healthier relationships.

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.

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.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Sex therapy addresses concerns related to desire, arousal, intimacy, and sexual self-expression within the broader context of emotional and relational life. My work integrates psychoanalytic methods, clinical sexology, hypnosis, and somatic awareness to explore the deeper meanings beneath sexual struggles.
