The Pincus Center specializes in working with clients to build a life filled with pleasure and joy. We will help you to find your inner voice, establish your own goals and find a path that works for you. There is no one true way to do therapy or to live your life. We understand that the world is a very hard place to be right now. We can't make everything perfect but we can make it better. We focus on issues around neurodiversity, self acceptance, relationship communication, sexual freedom, shame, low desire, sexual functioning issues and a wide variety of other mental health issues.
The Pincus Center specializes in sex positive therapy for individuals and relationships. Tamara Pincus is an AASECT certified sex therapist and sex therapy supervisor. We have clinicians who specialize in trauma, neurodiversity, sexual functioning, ethical non-monogamy. BDSM, out of control sexual behavior and more.
When you walk through our doors, you’ll quickly discover that the things that always made you feel “different” are not only understood here, but celebrated. You won’t have to explain to us what polyamory is, or worry about whether we’ll see your kinky nature as healthy and normal (we will!). Your body will be welcomed regardless of size, disability or race.
