Sex Therapy
Dr. Alishia Kalos
Psychologist, PsyD, CST
Dr. Kalos provides sex therapy for individuals and couples experiencing concerns related to sexuality, intimacy, and sexual functioning. Treatment may address desire, arousal, orgasm, erection, sexual pain, communication about sex, differences in sexual interests, and other concerns that can affect sexual well-being and relationships. Her approach is collaborative, affirming, and nonjudgmental.
Dr. Kalos specializes in working with individuals experiencing distress, confusion, or concerns related to atypical or unusual sexual interests, including individuals who experience minor attraction (MAPs). Therapy provides a confidential, nonjudgmental setting to explore sexual thoughts and interests, understand their meaning and function, develop healthy strategies for managing unwanted or concerning thoughts and behaviors, and support choices that prioritize personal well-being and the safety of others.

Sex Therapy
Kate Winderman
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
Our culture has taught us that talking about sex can be a scary, shameful, and at times embarrassing process. Yet at the same time, talking about sex is often the first (and perhaps most important) step towards healing sexual issues. I aim to create a safe and judgment free space to help you process through sexual concerns and move towards becoming the sexual person you hope to become. My sex therapy practice is largely centered around queer folks and woman-identified folks as they navigate a host of sexual issues including but not limited to issues with desire, self-esteem issues, navigating the impact of sexual or religious trauma, relationship issues, or just helping you come into to yourself as a sexual person.

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
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Sex can become a source of pressure, rejection, shame, or disconnection even in relationships where love and commitment are strong. I am a trained sex therapist who works with individuals and couples who feel disconnected from their erotic selves, struggle with mismatched desire, or are dissatisfied with what their sex life looks like. Together, we explore what may be getting in the way, including relationship dynamics, trauma, body image, shame, difficulty accessing your own needs, or patterns of pursuing and avoiding intimacy. Our work goes beyond addressing a sexual concern in isolation; it is about reconnecting with your sexuality, vitality, and capacity for pleasure while building a sexual life that feels authentic, mutual, and alive.

Sex Therapy
Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
One of the most ineffably upsetting and frustrating situations in relationships can be in the bedroom. Sex brings us to a new part of ourselves, which we don’t often fully understand or recognize. This uncanny feeling of confusion can be compounded when we don’t recognize our own partner’s sexual selves either. We might feel unseen, misunderstood, or uncared for. Often, problems in the bedroom represent and symbolize bigger problems that arise in the rest of the relationship. For example, you might have trouble asserting your desires with your partner in general, but in the bedroom it feels doubly intolerable to have your needs go unrecognized. Or you might feel your relationship lacks clear communication, and in the bedroom this often ends in a fight or utter hurt and confusion. By and by these common problems can lead to less and less frequent sex, which takes a toll on the relationship as a whole.
Please don’t continue to wait. You are not alone. Sexual intimacy difficulties are ubiquitous. All it takes is a little curiosity and a trained therapist to guide you to a new space of mutual desire in your partnership.
