Sex Therapy: Enhancing Intimacy & Sexual Well-Being
Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy designed to help individuals, couples, and polycules navigate sexual concerns, improve intimacy, and foster open communication.
In a safe, judgment-free space, clients explore desires, challenges, and relationship dynamics to create a more fulfilling and pleasurable sex life. Using evidence-based techniques, sex therapy promotes self-awareness, connection, and sexual fulfillment while respecting individual values and boundaries.
Sex therapy is available in-person in West Seattle and virtually across Washington State.
