Sex Therapists in 98101

For nearly 25 years in HR and communications, I have helped corporations with communication and relationship issues with employees. I now help individuals and relationships directly with life challenges. I believe communication is central to how we interact with the world and how the world interacts with us--from our loved ones at home to strangers on the street--and it informs how I do therapy. I use Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) while drawing on communications theory, and an Integrated Couples Therapy perspective, taking parts of EFT and Gottman Therapy, for a phased approach to relationship therapy.

I specialize in couples/relationships, communication issues, sex therapy, and grief and loss, as well as anxiety and sex therapy for individuals. Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is an important part of the process, and I look forward to meeting with you.

Accepting New Clients. As a sex and relationship therapist, I bring a somatic perspective to sessions: highlighting the nervous system, locating feelings in the body, and developing skills for increased pleasure and embodiment. My primary focus is relationships, including relationship to others, community, self, the body, and the natural world. I believe that connecting with ourselves leads to a deeper connection with others, and I practice both individual and relational therapy. In session, I invite deeper conversations around sexuality and gender, which are foundational aspects of who we are and how we express ourselves.

We specialize in couples/relationships, communication issues, sex therapy, and grief and loss, as well as anxiety and sex therapy for individuals. Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is an important part of the process, and we look forward to meeting with you. We see individuals and couples in person in Downtown Seattle and anywhere in Washington State via a secure Telehealth platform. Sessions are $150 with sliding scale openings available based on financial need and subject to availability.

I am both a psychotherapist and a certified sex therapist (AASECT certified) and I help couples and individuals fulfill their emotional, sexual and relational needs by building a therapeutic relationship based on empathy, safety and trust. I will support you in clarifying your needs and goals without judgement so that you can take the insight and skills we develop together into your life and relationships. If you struggle with intimacy, desire or preference discrepancy in your relationship or if you struggle with performance, anxiety related ED or ability to experience sexual pleasure and orgasm, I look forward to meeting you.

As an individual, couples, and sex therapist, my passion lies in helping people to confront and tackle the challenges which deeply impact their personal and relational lives and leave them feeling stuck. Whether you are struggling to cope with anxiety, grief, or depression, navigating conflict or resentment in your relationship, or facing concerns about your sexual health or identity, I strive to create a non-judgmental and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of rejection.

I am passionate about helping people better understand their bodies and sexuality to empower them in their intimate relationships. By gaining knowledge of and comfort with ourselves, we can enjoy a deeper sense of bonding and pleasure in sexual relationships. Whether you are looking to improve your connection to your body or your relationship with your partner(s), I am here to support your journey. I believe sexual health and pleasure are fundamental to both personal well-being and fulfilling relationships. We will collaborate to help you develop a sexual life that gives you joy, pleasure, a sense of connection, and an authentic identity.

We live in an overly stimulated world even while hiding from a virus, with constant choices regarding how we spend our time and energy and procure our needs. The amount of content we engage with daily has most people overloaded and unfocused. Which means, most of the time, we are not truly listened to or seen. For some, stepping into therapy is the first time they have experienced being heard and seen, wholly, genuinely, and comprehensively. The initial experience of being heard, can have a profound effect on one’s life. That is where we will begin. In a space with presence, non-judgmental empathic listening, and acceptance.

We offer sliding scale! The work at FlowArt Therapy focuses on EMDR, Art Therapy, and Sex Therapy. We work with folx in the kink community, people in polyamorous and alternative relationships, people who are neurodivergent, people who are LGBTQ+, and women, trans, and nonbinary folks with traumatic backgrounds to promote sex positivity. We have many therapists who offer other specializations and work with other populations. Many of the therapists at FlowArt Therapy are taking new clients.

Don't worry, this isn't a smile and nod type of therapy, I'm on this journey with you. I am a relationship and sex therapist who is dedicated to empowering you to live happier, healthier, and more authentic life both individually and in your romantic relationships. I explore what it would mean for you to live as authentically as possible and how to make sense of messages you have received about relationships and sexual health. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role as a therapist is to create a safe and non-judgmental space for exploration, processing, and to help you create the life you want to be living.

You already have within you a wealth of knowledge on your experiences and needs, and I'm here to honor that. Whether you're looking to integrate traumatic experiences and heal from them, explore the strengths of neurodiversity, or find authenticity and joy in your sexuality, I bring an optimism and enthusiasm to our work together. My role is to walk alongside you, offering compassionate support through a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and psychodynamic lens.

You have a right to healthy and shame-free sexuality—it’s part of your nature. You may be seeking help on your own—to process past experiences and beliefs, strengthen your support system, or gain support in accessing affirming healthcare. You may be seeking help with family—longing for acceptance from family members, or needing guidance with discussing sexual health with your children. You may be seeking help with your relationship—wanting to deepen intimacy, unpack inequity impacting your relationship, explore shared sexuality, or establish clear boundaries. My mission is to support your relationship with your sexuality.

Hi, I'm Marina. With me, no topic, feeling, or situation is off-limits in the counseling space – I will treat you with respect to help you overcome what's hurting you. I work with individuals, couples/poly relationships, and families between the ages of preteen and elder. As a sex therapist, I have extensive experience working with kink and BDSM, polyamory, LGBTQ issues, gender therapy, sexual pleasure and dysfunction, pain with sex, negative body image, high or low libido, sex work, sex abuse, sexual trauma, and/or sexual shame, among other topics.

I work with clients from diverse backgrounds who are experiencing distress & are seeking a place to feel seen & supported. I am a certified sex therapist, offer relational (couples, polycules, & adult family relationships) counseling, & often work with folks inside the LGBTQ2SAI+ populations, kinky folks, neurodivergent folks, disabled and chronically ill folks, fat folks, & others who are marginalized due to identity & lived experience. In addition I love working with those who are wanting to examine power & privilege inside of a therapeutic relationship where there is space for healing.

You and your loved ones deserve to feel understood and safe as you explore challenging patterns throughout your healing journey. I am passionate about working alongside queer folx who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. I look forward to helping clients who are hoping to deepen their understanding of their identity and learn how those intersecting factors impact how they show up in interpersonal relationships.

I am a queer relationship, individual, and sex therapist. I offer a collaborative, hands-on approach to therapy. I primarily focus on serving the LGBTQIA2+ community, women, non-binary, and genderfluid folks, those looking for increased connection in their relationships, those who want to explore their sexuality and enrich their sexual selves. I also enjoy working with folks through life transitions, creating healthy attachments, and setting boundaries. I recognize that it takes a lot of courage to start therapy. I aim to provide a space for you to feel genuinely heard, understood, and seen – no matter what you are dealing with.

We need sex-positive, body-positive support for ourselves, our families, and our communities. Individuals, couples, polycules and groups I work with traverse the world with partners, genders, fetishes, or professional experiences that are often misunderstood by the dominant culture. I am in service to your joy, your healing, keeping you connected to a grounded source of abundance, gaining skills to navigate personal and professional dynamics, and being in keen awareness of your power. I’m excited to journey with you toward an embodied, fulfilling relationship with yourself and those you love.

Sexual dysfunction can be an anxious topic to explore for many people. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and skills to improve your sex life as well as to provide a calm, comfortable space to explore underlying issues. Several studies have connected a healthy, fulfilling sex to longevity, improved mental health, and higher relationship satisfaction. Also, I connect with doctors and physical therapists to provide all inclusive care.

It is time to prioritize yourself and rediscover the many pleasures life has to offer. I treat teens, adults and relationships structures who are experiencing overwhelm and distress. Together we will work towards untangling the unhelpful narratives surrounding sex and sexuality, anxiety, depression, perinatal/postpartum mental health, ADHD and feelings of burnout. Feelings of insecurity, shame, discomfort, or boredom can lead to long lasting rifts in our relationships, including the relationship with ourselves. My approach is client centered to ensure that my clients feel truly heard.
