Sexual Health Psychiatry page logo. Mental health care for concerns around sexual well-being and identity.

Sexuality is personal — and often shaped by mental health, life changes, trauma, or hormones. We support individuals facing challenges with desire, identity, or connection, offering care that honors your values and unique experience.

“I want to want sex—but I just don’t. I love my partner, but I don’t feel connected anymore.”
“Sex brings up anxiety or fear for me,
and I don’t know why.”
“My medications help my mood, but they took away my desire.”
“I’m not sure how to talk about
my sexual identity
with my provider.”
Let’s talk about sexuality, mental health, psychiatric medications, & hormones.
Sexual health is more than function — it's about connection, safety, trust, pleasure, and self-understanding. And it's inseparable from mental health.
​Up to 43% of women
report some form of sexual dysfunction.

Mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD can influence desire, arousal, and satisfaction
SSRIs and other psychiatric medications can impact sexual function — and options exist to address this.
Past trauma, childbirth experiences, body image shifts, and relational stress can also shape how you relate to intimacy.
If traditional definitions of sex don’t fit your relationship, identity, or comfort level — we welcome that. Intimacy is not a one-size-fits-all experience.

Naming the Space Between

Emotional or sexual closeness can feel out of reach, confusing, or hard to name. We help you explore what’s underneath that distance — whether it's trauma, fear, pressure, or something else — and work toward restoring comfort, clarity, and connection.​​​​

Your Body...
Your Pace

Whether you're recovering from trauma, navigating sexual pain, experiencing disconnection, adjusting to hormone changes, or feeling disconnected from your body — your story deserves compassion.​ We work with you to reestablish trust and safety in your body without pushing or minimizing.

Redefining
Intimacy

Intimacy is more than sex — it’s connection, trust, emotional closeness, shared laughter, mindful touch, communication, and presence. We help you explore what it means for you, in a way that fits your identity, comfort, and relationships.

 

Rebuilding Connection

Reclaiming intimacy doesn’t mean rushing into action — it means rebuilding trust with yourself and, if desired, with others. ​​We support your pace, boundaries, and emotional readiness.

Love and Happiness

Healing Has No Deadline

There’s no timeline for feeling better in your body or in your relationships. Whether your struggles with intimacy began recently or years ago, you deserve care that honors where you are — not where others think you should be. Some healing is quiet, nonlinear, and deeply personal.

Lying in Wildflowers
You're not alone in your questions or discomfort—sexual wellness is emotional wellness. We offer compassionate support to help you explore intimacy, rebuild trust, and find comfort at your own pace. Whether you're navigating changes or healing old wounds, our care meets you where you are — without pressure or timelines.
