Sex Therapy
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Sex therapy addresses concerns related to desire, arousal, intimacy, and sexual self-expression within the broader context of emotional and relational life. My work integrates psychoanalytic methods, clinical sexology, hypnosis, and somatic awareness to explore the deeper meanings beneath sexual struggles. Together, we work toward a more coherent, embodied, and authentic relationship with desire and intimacy.

Sex Therapy
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.

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.

Sex Therapy
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.

Sex Therapy
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.
6 Years Experience

Virginia Beach and the surrounding Hampton Roads metro area have one of the highest concentrations of active-duty military personnel and veterans in the country, anchored by Naval Station Norfolk — the world's largest naval base — creating sustained demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, PTSD, and the dynamics of military family life. Therapists experienced with moral injury, deployment-related adjustment, and service-to-civilian transition are well represented, and many practices specifically orient their care toward service members and their families. Sentara Healthcare and Bon Secours provide institutional mental health resources for the region, complemented by a growing private practice community. Virginia Beach's coastal environment and strong community ties give the city a relatively stable baseline, though the psychological weight of military life remains a defining feature of the local therapy landscape.
