Sex therapy for adults in North Shore Chicago

Sex can be like the natural rhythm of the seasons--sometimes it feels vibrant and alive, like spring bursting into bloom. Other times, it feels quiet and dormant, like winter’s stillness. When intimacy becomes strained, or passion feels out of reach, sex therapy offers a space to explore, heal, and restore the natural flow of your sexual and emotional connection.

What Sex Therapy Can Help With

Every journey is unique, but sex therapy can guide you through:

• Out-of-Control Sexual Behavior (OCSB): Address compulsive patterns and rebuild a healthy relationship with intimacy.

• Painful Sex or Sexual Dysfunction: Understand and overcome conditions like vaginismus, erectile dysfunction, or lack of orgasm.

• Low Desire or Arousal: Reignite your interest and pleasure in intimacy.

• Navigating Life Changes: Explore the impact of menopause, becoming a parent, or cancer on your sexuality.

• Kink, BDSM, and Ethical Non-Monogamy: Discover and embrace your sexual preferences in a safe and affirming space.

• Healing from Trauma: Recover from sexual assault or shame and move towards a sense of safety and confidence.

• Substance Use and Sexuality: Rebuild trust and connection while addressing challenges related to substance use.

No matter where you are in your journey—single, partnered, or in a polycule—sex therapy can help you create a fulfilling and vibrant sex life on your own terms.

Sex is more than just a physical act; it’s deeply connected to your sense of self, relationships, and emotional well-being. When intimacy becomes a source of stress or shame that can lead to avoidance and unfulfilled desires, it can feel isolating and overwhelming.

Perhaps you’re dealing with mismatched desires in your relationship, struggling to enjoy intimacy due to physical discomfort, or feeling disconnected from your own sexual identity. These experiences are common, but they don’t have to define your story.

Sex therapy is tailored to your needs. It’s a space to safely reflect and explore—whether that means healing from past wounds, deepening intimacy in your relationship, or discovering new ways to experience pleasure.

Together, we’ll create a roadmap to help you:

• Reconnect with your body and desires.

• Develop tools for honest, respectful communication.

• Embrace your sexuality in a way that feels authentic and empowering.
