Sex therapy is a specialty or a niche’ in counseling. I utilize my sex therapy training and integrate it into all of my work with clients. It doesn’t have to be the focus of your journey, but we can explore and get curious in a safe space that we co-create together. Whether it be relating to ourselves or each other, our sexuality, pleasure, and intimacy is deeply human and connects us all.

Under supervision, I am constantly learning new interventions, tools, and activities to address sexual concerns within a relationship and with yourself. One of the books I highly recommend is Come As You Are, by Emily Nagoski, Ph.D. I constantly refer to this book in sessions as it provides a plethora of information that every human being should know.

— Emerald Aueyong, Sex Therapist in Culver City, CA

Sex therapy informs the work that I do by bringing the focus back to communication and the body. How we interact with other people and how our bodies feel can tell us so much about ourselves and those around us. In the therapy room we can increase our knowledge, improve our communication and connect with our bodies in ways that are helpful in and out of the bedroom.

Sex is deeply metaphoric to the relationship we have with ourselves and others. When we express ourselves sexually, we are almost always expressing a very deep part of ourselves. Sex is a complicated process. We have to be connected to our bodies, to our heads, and to another person all at the same time in the right amounts. All while our partner(s) are balancing the same complex tasks. I’m currently in the process of becoming a Certified Sex Therapist to better support couples.

I am trained in sex therapy and earned my certification as a sex therapist last year. Sex, sexuality, gender, etc. are all biological factors of being human and it transcends all cultures and races. Yet, it is the thing humans have the hardest time talking about. I provide a safe and non judgmental space to talk about sex and sex related issues in the hopes to normalize it and help move through the learned shame that often comes with sex issues.

Sex therapy and regular therapy share similarities in addressing emotional issues and negative patterns of thought and behaviors, but sex therapy specifically focuses on sexuality, sexual dysfunction, and intimacy.What I love about sex therapy is that there are a ton of exercises (ie. sensate focus, sex education, mindfulness, reflections) to be practiced outside of session - with yourself or partner(s) - that yield more tangible progress and growth.
