East Bay Sex Therapy
At East Bay Intimacy & Sex Therapy Center, our highly skilled sex therapists are LGBTQIA sensitive, sex positive, trauma informed, kink/poly friendly and welcoming of cultural, sexual and gender diversity.
Our East Bay Sex Therapists can help you to have a loving, secure and intimate sexual partnership. Many people have a hard time talking about sex in a vulnerable, direct and authentic manner. Some people don’t talk about it at all. Even though our culture is inundated with sexualized marketing campaigns, expectations and social pressure, rarely do people learn how to discuss sex in the context of attachment and intimacy. Not talking about one’s sexual desires, needs, feeling and issues with sex, prevents people from having intimate, healthy and exciting sex lives.
A sex therapist is a psychotherapist or clinical psychologist who, in addition to their Masters or Doctorate in psychology, holds specialized training in issues related to sex and sexuality. Some areas that sex therapy can address are desire discrepancies within a couple, development & deepening of emotional and sexual intimacy, arousal and desire concerns, difficulties with climax, emerging sexual identities, socio-cultural factors associated with sexuality, open relationships, extra-marital affairs & infidelity, diversity of sexual expression, cybersexuality, sexual trauma, abuse & rape, sexual dysfunction such as difficulty establishing or maintaining an erectile and painful sex.

Sex Therapy
Our top rated Intimacy & Sex Therapists can help you have the sexual partnership you desire.
Sex therapy supports partners in talking about sex with one another. Trained sex therapists feel comfortable talking about all things related to sex, gender and sexuality and are trained to help individuals and couples navigate discussions about sex. Sex and intimacy therapy helps couples get to the heart of the problem. In sex therapy, no topic is off-limits and nothing is taboo to talk about.
Despite being surrounded by unrealistic images of sexuality in the media, we live in a sexually isolating society in which people don’t feel comfortable talking to their friends about how they renew their sexual desire, or how to ask for what they want in bed. Men aren’t socially supported in asking their guy friends how to bring a woman to orgasm. Instead they have typically been expected to learn about sex through locker room talk and through pornography. LGBTQ youth may not have appropriate role models for healthy sexual expression, or worse, may not have the safety to discuss it at all.
Our East Bay Intimacy & Sex Therapy Center’s sex therapists are sensitive to how anxious you may feel when discussing this intimate subject with each other. Our highly trained sex and relationship therapists will help you feel at ease while guiding you into talking about sex, intimacy and attachment.
Sex therapy addresses the root of the issues and helps you develop understanding, compassion and skills to heal together.
Couples often can’t solve these intimate issues on their own because they don’t have the tools needed and because sex and intimacy is closely connected to attachment issues. Our couples counselors and sex therapists can help you to have the satisfying sex life you long for.

A healthy and gratifying sex life is created from a combination of safety, intimacy, trust, openness, communication and even humor and playfulness. It also means you need to know what you enjoy and be able to communicate your needs and wants. While the topic of sex can be uncomfortable or scary for some people, it is vital to your health and the health of your relationships to tend to your sexuality and intimacy needs. With the hectic pace of modern life it may seem easy to neglect your sex life, but the cost is significant. An unsatisfying sex life contributes to depression, loneliness and stress. Whether alone or with another, sex boosts energy, relieves tension, releases endorphins and elevates mood. Pretty good stuff!
Seriously, do you really want to spend a lifetime of "faking it" or feeling disconnected from your own body? Disconnected from your partner? Not knowing how to orgasm?
