Sex Therapy Services

At The Gender & Sexuality Therapy Center, we provide queer and kink affirming sex therapy services for individuals, couples and polycules looking for a safe and judgement free environment to get to know themselves.

Take the brave step toward an empowered and embodied self. 

 

You Deserve Pleasure

Sex education fails most of us, leaving us with gaps in our understanding of our own sexuality, a lack of information on how to safely experiment and explore, and a narrow understanding of sex itself. For many of us, connecting with our bodies, our sexuality, our desire, and our pleasure takes intentional curiosity and work. Our queer, non-monogamous, and kink affirming therapists are here to offer you a compassionate and knowledgeable space to safely explore your relationship to sex. With a Health at Every Size approach, our LGBTQ+ affirming sex and relationship therapists can help you navigate:

  • Questions about your own sexuality/sexual identity

  • Strengthening sexual communication

  • Exploring kink/BDSM/fetishes safely & without judgement

  • Opening or closing your relationships

  • Changing the boundaries of your relationship

  • Building a sense of sexual empowerment

  • Getting curious about intimacy, desire, & identity, and how they interact

 

Our queer sex and relationship therapists can help you navigate…

  • Religious conflicts with gender, sexuality, and sex

  • Purity culture

  • Sexual anxiety

  • Erectile unpredictability

  • Compulsive sexual behaviors

  • Internalized homophobia and transphobia

  • Feelings of gender dysphoria

  • Mismatched libidos & sexual compatibility and incompatibility

A Queer Informed Approach

Talking about sex, sexuality, our bodies,our desire, and our pleasure can be sensitive and requires bravery. That bravery deserves to be met with understanding and compassion–someone who won’t pass judgement or take up valuable time in session due to a lack of queer, trans, kink, and fetish cultural competence. While no one will have your exact lived experience, queer & kink competent therapists utilizing a queer informed approach can better help you explore the relationship between your gender and sexuality, without the burden of explanation and teaching that can exist in non-queer spaces.
