Sex therapy

Affirming, trauma-informed
support for intimacy, desire, identity, and connection.

Sex and intimacy are deeply personal — shaped by our bodies, relationships, identities, histories, and nervous systems. When concerns arise around desire, communication, shame, trauma, or mismatch, it can be difficult to know where to turn without fear of judgment. At Health Allies Counseling, we offer sex-positive, inclusive sex therapy for adults — supporting healthier relationships with pleasure, boundaries, communication, and self-understanding.

What is sex therapy

Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that supports emotional, relational, and psychological aspects of sexuality and intimacy.

Sex therapy can help with:
 

  • Desire differences or low libido

  • Sexual anxiety or performance concerns

  • Difficulty with arousal or orgasm

  • Pain or discomfort related to intimacy

  • Shame, guilt, or fear around sex

  • Communication about needs and boundaries

  • Identity exploration (sexual orientation, gender, kink)

  • Healing from sexual trauma

  • Navigating changes in sexuality across life stages
     

Sex therapy is talk-based and focused on understanding, choice, and consent — not explicit content or physical contact.​
 

Our therapists are affirming of:
 

  • Kink, BDSM, and power-exchange dynamics

  • Consensual non-monogamy and polyamory

  • LGBTQIA2S+ identities and relationships

  • Asexual, demisexual, and fluid experiences

  • Sex-positive and sex-neutral perspectives

 

​We believe that there is no single “normal” way to experience sexuality.

Common concerns people bring to sex therapy

Clients seek sex therapy for many reasons, including:
 

  • Difficulty talking about sex with a partner

  • Mismatched desires or boundaries

  • Navigating kink or BDSM safely and consensually

  • Shame from cultural, religious, or family messages

  • Sexual concerns following trauma or abuse

  • Changes in sexuality due to illness, disability, or medication

  • Relationship conflict related to intimacy

  • Fear of being “too much” or “not enough”

  • Exploring identity or preferences without judgment
     

You don’t need to be in crisis — curiosity, uncertainty, or discomfort are valid reasons to seek support.
