I do some sex therapy typically with my couples that get stuck in a rut and losing some of the sexy joy of sexual intimacy.

Sex Therapy
Seth Frank
Marriage and Family Therapist, MMFT, M.Div, AMFT
You might be feeling frustrated, disconnected, or even ashamed about something that’s hard to talk about... your sex life, your desire (or lack of it), or the way intimacy feels in your body or relationship. Maybe it’s been a source of tension, silence, or confusion for a while now. Whether you're navigating a specific issue or just wanting to feel more connected and confident in this part of your life, you deserve a space where you can explore it without judgment. A place to rebuild trust, closeness, and a sense of ease. I can help. (Look at my practice details to see more about what it would look like to work together.)

Sex Therapy
Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Sex therapy provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore concerns related to sexuality, intimacy, relationships, and just being a sexual person. Therapy may address challenges such as desire discrepancies, communication around intimacy, sexual anxiety, body image concerns, pain during sex, life transitions, identity exploration, or the impact of stress and past experiences on intimacy. Grounded in education, emotional awareness, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, sessions are tailored to each couple’s unique values, goals, and experiences. Sex therapy affirms that sexuality is a meaningful part of overall well-being and supports clients in developing greater confidence, connection, communication, and comfort within themselves and their relationships.
25 Years Experience
Online in Knoxville, TN Tennessee
Knoxville is home to the University of Tennessee — the state's flagship research university — and serves as the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains and Appalachian outdoor recreation culture, giving it a distinctive blend of college-town energy and Appalachian heritage that shapes its therapy community. The city's growing healthcare sector, anchored by UT Medical Center and Covenant Health, provides institutional mental health resources and supplies clinical training to the local community. Knoxville's working-class Appalachian communities carry distinct cultural attitudes toward help-seeking — including strong value on self-reliance and community support — that therapists must navigate with cultural sensitivity. The University of Tennessee's psychology programs, combined with the city's proximity to Appalachian communities experiencing opioid-related crisis, mean addiction recovery and co-occurring trauma are among the most active areas in Knoxville's local therapy landscape.
