Dionna Langford, LMSW

Sex is a fundamental part of being human, deeply tied to our emotional and physical well-being. Despite its importance, our culture often discourages open conversations about sex, leaving many people feeling isolated, frustrated, or unsure of how to address sexual challenges in their lives and relationships.

I believe that everyone deserves a fulfilling and shame-free sex life. My goal is to empower you to embrace pleasure and connection in all aspects of your life. By taking a holistic approach, I focus on how different areas of your life intersect and shape your sexual health and experiences.

I draw from several therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and somatic experiencing approaches, which have their roots in Black and Indigenous communities throughout the world. Through these approaches, I help clients release internalized negative beliefs and past traumas that may hinder their sexual functioning and disrupt personal relationships.

My clinical interests include treating sexual trauma, genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder, body image and self-esteem issues, sexual and relationship dissatisfaction, and exploring individual sexuality. I also work to help clients release fear, shame, and anxiety related to sex. I practice through a culturally sensitive lens. I am LGBTQIA+ and poly affirming.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Social Work from the University of Iowa and a Master’s degree in Social Work from Howard University. I am a provisionally licensed social worker in Maryland (License No: 31847) and receive supervision from Sara Brown, LCSW-C (MD #15610) and Andrea Battiola, Ed.S, LPC (DC #PRC14849), to support my growth as a clinician.
