Inclusive Sex Therapy for Greater Connection and Healing

Sex and intimacy are deeply personal—and sometimes, deeply complicated. At Whole Health Counseling, we offer sex therapy that is warm, inclusive, and affirming. Whether you're struggling with desire, sexual trauma, communication, or identity, we help you explore these topics in a safe and supportive setting.
Our approach is body-oriented and emotionally focused, allowing you to reconnect with yourself and your partner(s) in new ways. We offer sex therapy sessions in person in San Francisco and online for all residents of California.
​
Sex therapy is about so much more than just sex—it's about building closeness, safety, trust, and emotional connection within your relationship. Many couples struggle to talk openly about their desires, needs, or challenges in this area, and that silence can lead to distance.
Through sex therapy, you and your partner can explore what intimacy means to you, heal wounds that may be getting in the way, and reignite the spark of attraction. It’s a space to be curious, vulnerable, and supported as you nurture this vital part of your relationship with care and compassion.
​
Together, we build a very safe space to talk and share at your pace. The first step is understanding that this could be vulnerable, learning how to talk about it, and establishing a solid emotional connection.
