Sex Therapy
Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I specialize in helping individuals and couples address desire differences, low libido, sexual anxiety, shame, intimacy challenges, erectile difficulties, pain during sex, or simply wanting a more connected and satisfying erotic life. We talk openly about sex without flinching, explore the emotional and relational factors that influence desire and pleasure, and create practical, shame-free steps toward the intimacy you crave. Sex therapy here is warm, collaborative, and deeply affirming of all bodies, orientations, and expressions of sexuality.

Sex Therapy
Bloom Within You Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Lauren Graham, LCSW
Sexual concerns can be deeply personal and may affect how you feel about yourself, your body, and your relationships. I provide sex therapy for women experiencing concerns such as low sexual desire, differences in desire within relationships, difficulty with arousal, sexual shame, discomfort with intimacy, body image concerns, and feeling disconnected from their sexuality.
My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, sex-positive, and judgment-free. Together, we will explore the emotional, relational, physical, and cultural factors that may be influencing your sexual wellbeing. Sex therapy may include education about desire and arousal, communication and boundary work, mindfulness and body awareness, and practical strategies designed around your individual needs and comfort level.
My goal is to help you better understand your sexuality, feel more confident expressing your needs and boundaries, and develop a healthier, more fulfilling relationship with intimacy, pleasure, and yourself.

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
April Bieber

Sexual concerns are more common than people think — and deeply personal. I create a supportive space to explore intimacy, desire, and sexual health in a respectful, empowering way.

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.
