Sex Therapists in 20002

Somatic and Sex Therapist. Now, what I’m about to share with you might be uncomfortable to read. If it is, then know this ... you did not find us by accident. This was a message you needed. You see, talking to your partner about your sexual relationship isn’t easy. You might feel like no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to connect – unaware of what gets them going and what turns them off. You may be unsatisfied with the type of intimacy you’re having but don’t know how to bring it up. Now, here’s the thing...you are not alone.

I believe that my role as a therapist is to create a space where you feel supported, safe, and validated as we navigate challenges together. I think that everyone can benefit from therapy– whether it’s short-term to help you through a life transition or longer-term support, I will be here to affirm and accept you as you are. In therapy, we can explore the different ways your past experiences may impact your life, how cultural narratives have been absorbed, find agency to deconstruct the scripts that you no longer want to follow, ways to grow and develop new skills, and effective ways to communicate and deepen your relationships.

My mission is to create a space of acceptance for individuals and partners to find true, honest connection to themselves and within their intimate relationships. I am passionate about helping clients from all backgrounds work through barriers in order to create the relationships and life they desire. Through targeted conversations, skill building, and at home exercises we will work to help you build on the strengths you already have. I offer acceptance and a straightforward, empathetic approach to psychotherapy with my clients.

From a base of acceptance of your whole self, I work together with you to identify your potential and strengths, knowing how capable you already are. I come alongside you to reach your goals, and to live a whole and fulfilling life with deep, meaningful relationships. I approach therapy as a collaborative effort between you and me to create goals, gain new skills, and overcome challenges. I work to empower you with compassionate listening, psychoeducation and tools, and empowerment (listening to your voice and planning how to confidently express it) - I have complete confidence in you to direct your life and reach a place of joy!

Therapy is an incredible tool for anyone searching to foster insight, growth, overall well-being, and change. It can be a frightening and intimidating journey, so our initial goal is to create a comfortable, trusting, and collaborative relationship with you. We provide psychotherapy for adults and couples dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, grief, sexual and gender identity, and adjustment challenges. In addition, Melissa Kilbride provides seminars to parents on talking to their children about their bodies and sex, consent, and on supporting anxiety in children.

I believe that we all have the resources to succeed within ourselves. Therapy connects us to our strengths and our resilience. As a client-centered therapist, I am honored to collaborate with you and help you reach your mental health goals. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience providing individual therapy to adults with a wide range of life experiences, including the LGBTQ+ community. I am body- and sex- positive, kink-aware, and poly-friendly, and my practice philosophy is grounded in intersectional and feminist theory.

Confession time: Do you feel stuck, isolated, on edge or believe you aren’t good enough? Are cultural, relationship or societal pressures setting you back? Are you less interested in or avoiding the things you used to enjoy? Tired of arguing with your partner when all you want is peace and understanding?

I have been working in the mental health field for over fifteen years with a variety of clients including children and adolescents, families, and adults. I enjoy utilizing an eclectic approach to treatment, recognizing the uniqueness that each individual brings to treatment. I specialize in the treatment of exposure to trauma, providing treatment to survivors of sexual violence, childhood abuse, domestic violence, and military combat trauma. When addressing the needs of those who have survived trauma, I focus a great deal of attention on the neurological effects of exposure, as well as the mind and body connection.

I see you. If you've made it here, you are searching for something and I am passionate about joining you at the core of the pain, in the middle of the mess, and within the distress. I aim to be a witness and to co-create a space where we can tap into your capacity to resist, rejoice, rest, and recharge.

The status quo tells us we can’t trust ourselves, our knowing, or our bodies. Rachael believes that our innate knowing - when we can access it, is not only the gold we seek, but the light we shine for ourselves and in the world around us. From experience with eating disorders, self-injury, trauma, chronic pain, couples and larger family systems and the LGBTQIA umbrella to professional work in issue focused non-profits/campaigns (and even performing), Rachael is deeply in tune with the political and social ecosystems that our intersectional identities transverse on a moment to moment basis

I am solution-focused, and believe that a solid therapeutic relationship is a key to successfully meeting identified goals. Utilizing humor, passion, and dedication to the service of others I aim to create a safe environment while challenging behaviors and thoughts to aid in motivation for change. I also use integrative psychotherapy, combining different therapeutic tools and approaches that fit the needs of each individual or situation.

I work with individuals and couples, as well as children, in both DC and Chapel Hill. I do best with adults who are educated or reflective: many are scientists, artists, health and business professionals, or psychotherapists, and some are not pursuing conventional achievement.Some see me for family or work problems, some for help dealing with a chronic health issue or a loss, some to change longstanding emotional and interpersonal patterns involving anxiety, anger, or intimacy. We may try quick and simple approaches first, because sometimes they work, but if not we can go more deeply into the individual's unique personal narrative.

I'm Donna Inman, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Employee Assistance Professional, and a Nationally Certified Counselor working in downtown Washington DC... With 25 plus years in the mental health field, I've developed a very practical approach to life and the difficulties it can sometimes bring. I use short-term solution focused approaches and I try and assist people with setting and meeting goals. I firmly believe that most answers we seek are already within us, and I believe counseling can sometimes help bring those answers to the surface. Feel free to email me to schedule an appointment.

I've been providing psychotherapy for over twenty years. I am passionate about this work and have helped many people change their lives for the better.

I am easy to talk to and bring a lot of warmth and caring to therapy. I sometimes use innovative approaches including walking in nature with clients, hypnotherapy, pet therapy, and writing/art therapy.
