Vincent Espinoza
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I love to talk about sex! Sex is a beautiful thing and we all should be having as much of as we want without feeling ashamed, guilty or worried about expressing our internal truth regarding our sexual identities, sexual practices, and our sexual health and functioning in our relationships. I enjoy helping clients to explore their sexuality in a safe and affirming environment that provides unconditional positive regard, empathy, curiosity and meaningful growth.

Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
Sex therapy with me is a shame‑free space to talk about desire, arousal, pain, performance concerns, or feeling “shut down” sexually. We explore the intersections of trauma, culture, faith, and identity with your sexual story and use education, communication tools, and nervous‑system work to support more satisfying, authentic intimacy individually or with a partner.

The sexual relationship is usually a barometer of the quality of the relationship (barring medical issues). I treat sexual issues along with relationship issues.

Richmond is Virginia's state capital and a city confronting its identity as the former capital of the Confederacy — a historical weight that has made racial equity, community healing, and the legacy of slavery active and ongoing conversations in clinical, academic, and public life. The city's significant African American community, its rapidly growing Latino population, and a large university sector anchored by Virginia Commonwealth University collectively shape diverse and evolving therapy demand. VCU Health and Bon Secours Richmond Health System provide major institutional mental health resources, while VCU's extensive psychology, counseling, and social work programs supply significant clinical training to the community. Richmond's growing arts and creative economy, rapid gentrification of historically Black neighborhoods, and strong LGBTQ+ community each contribute distinct dimensions to its therapy culture.
