Sexual Problems

Kelly Rees (she/her)

Clinical Sexologist

Certified, ACS

Sexual types of problems might be the most difficult to talk about due to rampant shame and guilt in which we are immersed as a culture. Sexual problems are almost always related to relationship issues, which give glimpses into our deepest selves. I have extensive experience guiding people through their sexual problems and into ease.

From working through sexual dysfunctions to exploring your sexuality, sexual concerns can take a toll on us individually and relationally. When our concerns impact those around us, they can become especially distressing. One of my top specialties is sex therapy, which means I am regularly researching, consulting, and seeking further training in these areas.

I am well-versed in addressing issues related to sexuality, helping you explore and enhance your sexual well-being, and fostering healthy, fulfilling connections. Whether you're dealing with sexual discrepancies, sexual abuse trauma, ED, or orgasm inequity, we will work together to get to the root of the sexual issue. Exploring sexual health and well being is my top priority in all sexually fluid, asexual, or kink contexts. I use a non-judgemental and affirming stance with all sexual concerns.

Just talking about sex can be hard, let alone exploring our deepest sexual fears, desires, insecurities and hopes. Maybe you're wanting something different, but are unsure how to approach the conversation. Maybe you feel guilty for wanting sex less than your partner(s), or for wanting it more. Maybe you'd like to explore and discover new ways of experiencing pleasure. Or, maybe you'd like a safe and compassionate place to process and heal from past sexual experiences.

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

As your therapist, my top priority is to create a safe space for you to openly talk about sex: your sexual fears, insecurities, hopes and dreams. We will look at how past experiences have impacted your sexuality and how societal norms shape your sexual expectations. We will find ways to ignite your desire, deepen your sexual connection with yourself and/or partner(s), and feel empowered in your sexuality. I have experience working with mismatched desire, sexual anxiety, sexual trauma, and more.

Sex can be confusing and society hasn't given us the tools to talk about it. You deserve to have a sex life that feels fulfilling and empowering. You may need support in asking for what you need or guidance in finding pleasure again.

Sarah Sumner (She/They)

Clinical Social Work Associate

MSW, C-YT

I don’t know about you, but I didn’t grow up in a sex-positive household, nor did my family of origin equip me with the tools I needed to build a relationship with myself that was expansive enough to outweigh the messages of shame I inherited from society about my sexual identity. . As a Pleasure Activist, I love to help people move from shame-based to a pleasure-centered relationship to their sexuality and see this work as integral to collective liberation.

Amber Liechty (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Body confidence goes hand in hand with sexual confidence. I lean in an Esther Perel direction (Google her, she's amazing) and have enjoyed her trainings. I've found that many of my clients benefit from having both body image and sexual empowerment folded into their treatment.

Sexual expression is a fundamental human need. Intimately connected to our sense of self, sex is an opportunity to ask for what we want for our growth as individuals and partners, to play, to feel alive and creative, and to transcend, if only momentarily, the experience of our mortality.

Madeline Fox

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

'Sex is not a thing you do, it is a place you go.' Esther Perel stated this and I could not agree more. Unfortunately many of us have not been given clear directions on how to arrive to this place of sexuality, sensuality, and pleasure. I feel confident in supporting you and your partner(s) in exploring, expanding, and healing your sexual relationship with each other and yourself.

Liz Ward (they/them)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

Sexuality can be challenging to navigate, especially considering the things we have learned (or that we didn't) about what sexuality means for us as individuals. Our sexuality is linked to so many aspects of our experience. I can help you gently sort through all these layers and understand how the things you learned have impacted you today so that you can engage in your sexuality in a way that feels best for you.

Patrick Bluett (he/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, CST

When men get caught in the idea of 'performance', they lose touch with the sensations that create pleasure and deepen intimate connection. When we are absent from pleasurable experience there can be devastating consequences for our relationship(s) and our personal wellbeing. I work with my clients to challenge the old paradigms and bring the focus back to connection and pleasure.
