What Is Sex & Intimacy Therapy?

Sex and intimacy therapy addresses concerns around desire, connection, and physical or emotional closeness — whether you're working through this individually or with a partner.

This is talk therapy, not physical treatment — the focus is on the emotional, relational, and psychological factors that shape your experience of intimacy.

Sessions typically happen weekly, in 50-minute sessions, either in person in Brooklyn or online across New York.

Signs This Work Might Help

These conversations can be hard to start. You might be a fit for this work if:

Desire or interest in intimacy has changed and you're not sure why

You feel disconnected from a partner physically, even when things are otherwise fine

Shame or discomfort makes it hard to talk about sex, even with people you trust

Past experiences affect how safe or present you feel during intimacy

You and a partner want different things and aren't sure how to talk about it

You want a private space to understand your own relationship to intimacy

These conversations are rarely just about sex — they usually touch on trust, safety, and how seen you feel. Therapy makes room for all of that.

Our Approach to Sex & Intimacy

We draw on psychodynamic principles, exploring how shame, past experiences, and communication patterns shape your experience of desire and closeness.

Sessions are collaborative and paced by you — there is no script, and no topic is off-limits or too small to bring in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this couples therapy or individual therapy?

Either — we work with individuals exploring their own relationship to intimacy, and with couples navigating these issues together.

Do I need to give details I'm not comfortable sharing?

No. You share only what feels right, at your own pace. This work is collaborative, not clinical interrogation.

Is this therapy or sex therapy specifically?

This is talk therapy addressing the emotional and relational side of intimacy — not physical or medical treatment. If a medical concern is involved, we can help connect you with the right specialist alongside this work.

Can this help if my partner and I want different things?

Yes — differing desire or needs around intimacy is one of the most common things we work through, individually or together.

Do you offer this online?

Yes, available anywhere in New York via secure video.
