Sex Therapists in 02139

If you are struggling with parts of your identity, sexuality, trauma, grief or mental illness, know that you are not alone. It is an honor and a privilege to bear witness to your truth and story.

Welcome! Congratulations on taking the first steps on your therapeutic journey! I am committed to helping my clients navigate the complexities of life. I strive to create a collaborative, warm, open environment in which clients can explore difficult issues with empathy, compassion, and, perhaps, a bit of humor. I believe that therapy is an opportunity to learn more about oneself, be heard and understood, and share sorrows, joys, and everything in between. It is a privilege to participate in my clients' journeys, and I take care to do so in a supportive, thoughtful manner tailored to each person's needs.

Do you find yourself wanting more our of your sex life? Perhaps greater intimacy with your partner(s)? I am a sex therapist who works with folx of all genders and sexual orientations. I can treat porn addiction, sex addiction, sexual dysfunctions, and other types of sexual intimacy difficulties. Let's face it, finding a therapist who can connect with can be a daunting process. You want someone who is easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and someone you can trust. I have worked with thousands of clients who are looking to improve their sex life and increase intimacy within their relationships.

As a clinical sexologist and Certified Sex Therapist, I help folks explore pleasure and better communicate in intimate relationships. As a relationship counselor, I work with couples and people in ENM relationships to improve their communication and connection. As a feminist therapist, I help clients dig deep to uncover their personal power, untangle anxiety and heal from trauma. I'm pro-choice, queer/bisexual identified, and welcome LGBTQ+ clients. I'm a curious counselor, and I help people dig to the roots of their pain. Fees are $200/session for individuals and $250 for couples (self-pay only, NO insurance).

I am a psychologist who began my career as a dancer and then became an expressive therapist, which grounds my treatment in both psyche and soma. I love working with couples around relationship issues and sexuality. My work is both psychodynamic and cognitive, drawing on the integration of logic, philosophy, and emotion. The most crucial component of successful treatment is a good sense of humor. I work to create a safe space for exploring any emotion or pattern, no matter complex.

My entire practice is dedicated to solving "Relationship problems." The treatment starts with your goals. For some, it is getting the communication skills and best practices for marital happiness. For others, it is helping couples save their marriage after broken trust. I have a unique background. While working at Harvard Medical School and the Human Sexuality & Relationship program at McLean Hospital, I developed and refined highly effective relationship systems and therapies. I am currently offering the sessions only on zoom.

A year from now, you will wish you started today. - K. Lamb - Working with a therapist can provide support, help you foster insight, and build new strategies to identify and address the core issues that interfere with relationships and work. Therapy can increase the flexibility with which you think about and engage in your life. My intent is for us to create a reliable and safe environment in which we can work together to address the issues you've been facing, improve understanding of yourself and help you feel less stuck in existing patterns of managing challenges.

Do you wish you could feel more intimate with your partner? Has your sexual relationship lost it's passion & playfulness If so, call Suki Hanfling for a free 20min. phone consultation to explore whether couples/sex/tx. might be helpful. Her approach emphasizes the individual growth of each partner and the enhancement of the relationship. Although there are multiple factors contributing to most difficulties, she begins by addressing the immediate causes: communication difficulties, being "time starved" and performance anxiety. When indicated, therapy can then focus on complex causes, such as trust, control, and intimacy.

When life changes happen unexpectedly, it can be hard to reach out for support. It's important to me to be a safe space for those experiencing any range of life shifts, including: personal and relational roadblocks, sexuality issues, life transitions, trauma and grief and loss. I strive to meet my clients where they are, and adapt to their individual needs and framework. I work from a person-centered/ trauma-informed lens, and use strengths-based perspective, mindfulness, and humanistic therapies. I hope to work together to create new patterns of thinking to guide you towards the personal, and professional goals you wish to achieve.

As a classically trained psychologist, I view my work as a blend of art and science. My patients are generally competent, loving people who are struggling with painful issues related to relationships, sexuality, life changes, work and other stressful situations. Many also suffer from situational or long-standing feelings of depression, anxiety or inadequacy. All are motivated to make meaningful change. My style is open, relational, and collaborative, and my approach is based on decades of experience and a fundamental understanding that no two people are alike. Therapy focuses on both on symptom relief and personal growth.

You may be pursuing therapy to increase intimacy or enhance a stable relationship. Alternately, you may be overcome with frustration/grief/anger as, despite best efforts to resolve challenges, you're stuck in repetitive relationship patterns that can no longer be soothed, justified, or ignored. Perhaps you're single or in partnership, suffering from profound loneliness. I can help empower you (and partner(s) to awaken from toxic rules/expectations, and escape the prison of isolation, shame, blame, and silence. This empowerment allows for renewed capacity to give yourself, and those you love, compassion, acceptance, and freedom.

Are you feeling stuck in life, work or relationships? Do you sense there is more success or connection you could experience, yet feel unsure of how to find it? Are you ready to step more into your potential? If the answer is yes, than therapy or coaching may help.

I am a Licensed Psychologist in private practice and an Instructor in Psychology at Harvard Medical School. I have over 25 years experience working with couples and individuals, and providing training and consultation to other therapists. I specialize in helping distressed, high-conflict and/or emotionally distant couples. I also specialize in helping people cope with stress and anxiety, as well as depression, other types of emotional distress, and physical problems that often accompany stress.

My primary strength as a clinician is my ability to help clients make connections. Primarily using Internal Family Systems therapy, I help clients manage day-to-day challenges as well as identify patterns and follow these back to deeper root causes. By approaching your inner wounds and survival tactics with empathy, you can begin to reimagine your relationships to yourself and to others. I offer a non-judgmental ear, an empathetic perspective, and 10 years of experience in the field to guide you through the work. Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's fun, and I'm here for all of it.

Therapy provides a space for us to develop a deeper understanding of our internal world, our patterns, and our suffering. Oftentimes, we might find that concepts and emotions left unattended to are keeping us stuck or unsatisfied. Together, we can be curious about your thoughts, feelings, and fantasies and uncover new meaning and ways of coping. I collaborate with patients to work towards a more fulfilling life and a better relationship with the self. I emphasize that you are the expert of your life, and empower you to make the changes you desire.

Let's think about our thinking. Curiosity and bravery are important aspects of any learning experience and these traits are equally important in psychotherapy. As a psychologist, I encourage my clients to be both brave and curious as we respectfully examine and process poignant thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Through this thoughtful process, the client is able to grow and gain self-confidence and improved internal emotional regulation. My goal or agenda for psychotherapy is not mine but yours, and I look forward to collaborating with you and bearing witness to your growth.

I am not your typical therapist. My greatest passion throughout my career has always been working with people who are truly driven to change their lives. With a deep therapeutic connection, the right tools, and the motivation to increase the quality of your life, real change can and does happen. I provide an open, safe, and completely non-judgemental space to work on anything and everything. There is truly no limit to what we can tackle. I will not turn you away for having an intense or very hard lived experience. I specialize in EMDR, DBT, and somatic experiencing work. I provide highly customized treatment to every client.

My work with adolescents, families, and adults spans over twenty years. I believe in the innate strengths within people while also appreciating the need for assistance during the challenges and losses presented throughout life. Working from a relational model and believing that the present moment offers potential for new growth and healing, I am honored to be present for each client as they achieve their desired goals. By co-creating a therapeutic relationship based on trust and authenticity, I assist individuals in reaching their highest potentials.
