Sex Therapists in 12401

Why were we taught algebra, but never taught about healthy relationships, delightful sex, grief, depression, or loving our bodies? Why do we fall into the same traps we fell into yesterday? Why do we go back to behaviors that we know are bad for us? I work with folks who feel stuck in painful cycles. I have special training in relationships, sex, and grief. I’ll give you tools & hold you accountable. My specialties are relationships, anxiety, grief, men's issues, queer issues, compulsive masturbation, porn literacy, low desire, ED & teens.

I am passionate about helping you create real change from within so you can experience life, sex, intimacy, and relationships as your heart desires. If you want to feel secure, confident, and satisfied in how you relate to intimacy and your relationships, I help you navigate your traumas, fears, wounds, and conditioning around attachment, love & relationships. I help you take your personal power back, remind you of your own inherent wisdom and truth, and teach you how to release the never-ending "broken" "fix it" cycle of self-improvement and repetitive painful experiences.

I want to help each of my clients find a sense of health - emotionally, physically, and sexually. Let's work together to sort through the things causing disruption in your everyday life including intimate relationships, sexuality, or general life transitions (starting or ending a relationship, coming out, exploring non-traditional relationships, etc.) I am committed to helping you move through anxiety, depression, family of origin issues, and shame in order to help you increase connections with yourself and your community.

Why therapy? I believe that we all reach places in our lives where we need to slow down and reconnect with ourselves. At times therapy can feel like an essential human need - a place to go when you need to feel understood, supported and cared for. A strong therapeutic relationship can be one of the most important and unique relationships in your life. My goal is to work together to help you feel empowered and capable of change. Lets explore the patterns that may be holding you back and help you move forward!

My work with individuals and couples+, is based in the belief that (when given the right support) everyone has the ability to create meaningful changes, build satisfying relationships, & find more fulfillment in life. As a psychotherapist and sex therapist, I am dedicated to providing an inclusive space, welcoming individuals across the full spectrum of gender expression, sexual orientation, identity, & relationship styles. I provide transgender affirming care and am well versed in working with LGBTQ+/kink/poly/+, along with more-traditional monogamous individuals/relationships. Whatever you are needing support for, I am here.

I work with folks who identify :anywhere: on the gender and sexuality spectrum and am kink, sw, and pleasure & sex-positive. We'll be a good fit if you are struggling with dating anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, lack of sexual desire, sexuality exploration, and PTSD & trauma. I am dedicated to helping my clients build more robust, fulfilling relationships, heal from traumatic experiences, and connect to what brings them pleasure and calm. I have many years of experience as an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, sex educator, as well as an advocate for tgnc kids and teens at community-based organizations and school-based clinics.

Hello Everybody! I specialize in supporting the mental health of people for whom dominant culture is not a good fit. Over the years, the mainstay of my clients identify as: LGBTQIA+, autistic / otherwise neuro-divergent, BIPOC, having medical needs or are differently physicially-abled, as having intellectual / developmental / learning disabilities, having esoteric / magick / minority religious practitioners (and many times, some combination of the above). I focus on helping people working through C-PTSD, those who are part of minority sexual communities (Queer, Kinky, Non-Monogamous, etc.),

In working with clients in psychotherapy, I find it useful first to sort out what's working in their lives from what's not. Then we look at what's not working; be it depression, anxiety, obsessive thinking, compulsive & addictive behavior, and extreme emotional reactions. All of these things can all serve as clues to help us identify and address hidden and unexpressed emotions and experiences. (In addition to treating adults, couples, and adolescents with the more standard therapy issues, I have extensive experience working with the full gamut of sexual topics.)

Hi! I'm Lynn and I am the founder of Empowered and Resilient Minds. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with clients from various stages of life who experience depression, anxiety, ADHD, learning disabilities, and relationship as well as emotional difficulties.

The path to a life of peace, joy, and harmony lies ahead, and it's ok to need a little help in getting there. The foundation of my practice is based on two core principles: the importance of building a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship, and the belief that life's challenges provide an invaluable opportunity for personal growth. It takes courage to reach out for support and guidance, particularly if you’re going through a tough time; feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, having issues in your relationships, or if you're feeling ready to work through past traumas. Counseling can be transformative for these issues.

I believe in our capacity to challenge and navigate away from unhealthy patterns. I support my clients in cultivating awareness and guide them in the healing process by drawing on innate strengths and resilience. I encourage clients to think of human beings as organisms, of body and of mind, that live in relationship with others and with our environment. As such, growth is our natural state. We are meant to grow, to act fluidly and adapt creatively throughout our lives and we suffer when that process is blocked or interrupted. However, our suffering can provide an opportunity to grow in new and exciting ways.

Whether you may be experiencing difficulty, encountering behaviors that keep leading to troubling outcomes, or are dealing with grief, anxiety, sadness, overwhelm, or the weight of the world, I hope you aren’t going through it alone. People who work with me tend to think of me as an ally, helping them to create the lives they want to live. I collaboratively draw upon people’s strengths, values, and competencies to navigate their way towards more fulfillment, freedom, purpose, and joy.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with more than 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy, consultation, and forensic assessments. In addition to my private practice, much of my career has been in community mental health where I’ve provided direct clinical services, as well as clinical supervision and worked in administration. Throughout my work in community mental health, I have also held the position of Adjunct Clinical Faculty with the Doctoral Program in Counseling Psychology at the University at Albany where, over the years, I have trained and supervised countless graduate students.

"Get busy living, or get busy dying." If you haven't seen Shawshank Redemption, maybe you should. Maybe it's just me, but reading all the profiles here seems a bit tedious since we are all essentially saying the same things. As an Army Veteran and a solution-focused pragmatist, I like to cut to the chase. The bottom line is that we've ALL survived something in our lives and fall into one of two basic categories; either those who just don't die or those who come back to living. So which category are you in?

You feel disconnected from life & from your body. You struggle to connect in your relationships, are unhappy in your career, feel hopeless for the future or move through the world in a fog. You’ve been shamed for who you are & now you speak to yourself with harshness & can’t ever feel like enough inside your own head. You’ve been told that who you are is somehow inherently flawed. I help people increase compassion, reduce shame and feel a greater sense of belonging within themselves and their bodies.

When someone in a relationship is an addict, unhealthy role shifts and power imbalances take hold. Once the substance abuser enters recovery, things begin to re-balance, and this power redistribution has potential for new problems. Couples and family treatment can help both partners or family members to work together to adapt to the challenges posed during this transition back to a fully-functioning relationships. Providing a safe therapeutic environment, I assist in navigating the challenges that face partners or family members once the addict enters recovery, including how to best to assist the recovering person and address life changes for loved ones.

Let me help you to find clarity, authenticity, and courage in your relationships, your professional life and your personal journey. I provide a free phone consultation where you will be able to explore my background, modalities and experience. I have been treating people clinically for over 25 years. I am passionate about my work and love seeing my clients successfully engage in therapy. Nothing is more exciting to me than watching my clients make powerful life changes.
