At The Empowering Space, we provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where individuals and couples can explore challenges related to desire, intimacy, performance anxiety, communication, past trauma, or sexual identity. Our goal is to help you develop a healthy, fulfilling, and confident relationship with your sexuality—on your terms.

Your sexual wellness matters. Let’s work together to create a more fulfilling intimate life.

Shauna Farabaugh
Life Coach, Certified Somatic Sex Educator, Board Certified Sexologist, Certified TRE provider
Somatic sex education is a phenomenal modality for addressing sexual concerns, especially sexual confidence, sexual communication, low libido, reliable access to orgasm (or access for the first time), navigating the impact of illness or disability on sexuality, and erectile concerns. It's an embodied education or coaching model, not therapy. You are NOT broken. You CAN learn skills to increase your sexual satisfaction. And as you deepen your awareness of you body, you will discover more pleasure than you thought possible. Ready to take the first step towards more pleasure? Contact me today for your FREE consultation.

Sex and intimacy concerns can be shattering to relationships. In therapy these can be addressed to uncover the root causation as well as learning how to be vulnerable and reach a level of satisfaction sexually with your partner.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Sex is one of the most intimate parts of a relationship, but when something isn’t working, it can lead to distance, frustration, and shame. As a Certified Sex Therapist with specialized training in helping individuals and couples improve their sexual connection, I offer a space where you can talk openly and work through what’s getting in the way.
Whether you’re dealing with erectile dysfunction, premature or delayed ejaculation, vaginismus, low desire, or pain during sex, these issues can take a toll on both you and your relationship. You’re not alone—and there are ways to work through it. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on emotionally, physically, and relationally, and develop tools to help you feel more connected, confident, and present.
I'm also a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), and I work with people navigating sexual compulsivity, porn addiction, and out-of-control sexual behaviors. If your relationship with sex feels overwhelming or secretive, therapy can help you gain clarity, control, and a healthier sense of intimacy.
Sex therapy isn’t about judgment—it’s about helping you build the kind of sexual life and connection that feels good, meaningful, and true to who you are.
