Sex-Positive Therapy

You deserve a therapist who actually talks about sex.

You deserve a safe space to talk openly about your sex life: your wishes, your wants, your edges, your challenges, your trauma. At SAPIENT we believe that sex is a vital part of human health and aliveness, and we know that many of us need guidance and support to create thriving relationships. Compassionate, sex-positive, and shame-free support awaits.

When you have relationship problems, you have life problems.

Opening Up Troubles

About 1 in 3 people in monogamous relationships fantasize about opening up. If you’ve taken the fantasy into real life, SAPIENT helps you build the skills to open up and love well.

✚

Sexual Assault

Nearly 1 in 2 women and more than 1 in 6 men in the U.S. have experienced sexual violence. Survivors are also more likely to be hurt again. If you’ve been hurt and the pain is still shaping your sex life or relational life, SAPIENT can help.

◌

Attachment Trauma

More than 1 in 3 U.S. adults know what insecure love feels like. If closeness makes you anxious, guarded, or unsure of yourself, SAPIENT can help you build a more secure relationship with others and with yourself.

◆

Infidelity and Other Betrayals

About 4 in 10 Americans report that a partner or spouse has cheated on them. If betrayal has rocked your world, SAPIENT can help you reckon with it and decide where to go from there.

A therapist who can talk about the thing you actually came to talk about.
