Our holistic approach to supporting your sex and

sexuality therapy goals.

Jessie Briegel, LMFT is a Certified Sex Therapist and Certified Emotionally Focused Therapy. She specializes in helping people explore sexuality and improve sexual experiences through a holistic and emotionally focused approach. Our entire team, under Jessie’s direction, are trained in helping couples heal and grow their emotional connection in preparation of the deeper work regarding sex and sexuality.

Emotional safety and a sense of connection impact sexual confidence, performance and enjoyment. Similarly, sexual issues can have a significant impact on emotional well-being and relationship health and sustainability. It is critical to support and explore both aspects of your experience and identify the ideal ‘starting point’ for sex counseling.

We do this by relying on our advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based model, to help you identify and address the underlying emotional issues that may be impacting your sexual experiences. Through this compassionate and personalized approach, you can learn to improve communication, deepen sexual and non-sexual intimacy, and enhance your overall relationship satisfaction. Often this part of the process leads to personal growth and increased self awareness in ways that impact your view of yourself and your sex/sexuality experiences.

This is an important part of the foundational work necessary to ensure a positive experience when the focus of sexuality support and sex counseling shifts to concerns such as desire discrepancy, sexual dysfunction, and trauma. In addition to their training in EFT, our therapists are AASECT trained which means they have a deep understanding of human sexuality and are skilled in addressing a wide range of sexual concerns, including sexual dysfunction, sexual identity, sexual trauma, and sexual expression.

It is important to know that all of our sex and intimacy counseling therapists are committed to providing a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their concerns and curiosities and develop strategies to enhance their sexual experiences. They have a comprehensive knowledge of sexual anatomy, physiology, and function, as well as the social and cultural factors that impact sexual health.

We welcome individuals and relationships of all backgrounds and orientations and provide a safe and inclusive environment for you to explore your sexual curiosities and concerns. Our goal is to help you develop a healthier and more fulfilling sexual relationship with yourself and your partner(s).

We are excited to embark on this journey with you and look forward to helping you achieve your sexual and emotional goals.
