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.

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
Sheena K. Glover
Psychologist, PsyD-Clinical Psychologist
Changes in sexual desire can be alarming for couples, especially when struggling with issues such as low libido and difficulty communicating about sexual desires. This can leave them feeling lonely and concerned about the future of their relationship. Despite efforts to find solutions through various resources, many find themselves at an impasse, leading to communication breakdowns and relationship strain. At Intimacy in Progress, we foster a sex-positive environment and encourage open conversations about sexual experiences within each couple. Through empathetic therapy, we help couples navigate intimacy issues, communication barriers, and sexual challenges, empowering them to strengthen their connection and rediscover fulfillment in their relationship.

Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I specialize in helping individuals and couples address the challenges that can make sex feel stressful, disconnected, or avoidant. Whether you are navigating desire differences, performance anxiety, painful sex, or the impact of infidelity on intimacy, I provide a safe and supportive space to explore both the emotional and physical aspects of sexual well-being.
Sex therapy is not just about fixing problems - it’s about creating a more confident, satisfying, and connected sexual life. Together, we can work toward restoring intimacy, building communication, and fostering an erotic connection that feels authentic and fulfilling.
