The Peak Approach

Text Us: 202.240.2561
At Peak, therapy isn’t a checkbox or a script. It’s an unfolding conversation—one that meets you where you are and gently helps you discover where you want to go.
We believe that sexual and relational wellness are not separate from your life—they are your life. The way you connect, the way you love, the way you feel safe in your body and relationships—all of it matters, deeply.

We See the Whole You
You are not just a collection of symptoms or diagnoses. You are a story in motion. A nervous system learning safety. A body remembering pleasure. A mind longing for clarity. A heart craving connection.
We honor the complexity of who you are—past, present, and emerging.
Therapy that Feels Human
Embodied Work:
We invite your body and nervous system into the healing process, so change can be felt, not just thought about.
Depth & Practicality:
We explore root causes while equipping you with tools you can use in your daily life, not just in therapy sessions.
Whole-Person Perspective:
We consider your body, your relationships, your patterns, your values...not just the surface concerns.
Gentle Pace:
We walk alongside you, not ahead of you, honoring your readiness and boundaries.

The Pillars of the Peak Approach
We believe intimacy, connection, and pleasure are central to a fulfilling life—whether you are partnered or navigating your own journey.
Relational & Sexual Wellness at the Core
No. 1
We recognize how past experiences shape the present and create a safe space for you to explore without judgment.
Trauma-Informed, Shame-Free Care
No. 2
We don’t assume, label, or rush. We stay curious about your story, helping you connect dots you may not have seen before.
Curiosity Over Judgment
No. 3
We don’t just talk; we help you practice, embody, and integrate changes that align with your values.
Integration, Not Just Insight
No. 4
We don’t position ourselves as the expert “on you.” We walk with you, supporting your goals with warmth, skill, and genuine care.
Collaborative Partnership
No. 5

Why Do Modalities Matters
We don’t just use these modalities because they “sound good” or as a checklist but as invitations. We use them because they allow us to meet you where you are, honoring your story, your body, your values, and your goals.
These tools become part of a living, breathing conversation about your desires, challenges, and what is possible for your life and relationships.
- Individuals seeking clarity, healing, or deeper connection with themselves
- Couples looking to rebuild intimacy and navigate challenges
- Anyone ready to explore their sexuality, identity, or patterns
- Those who want to move from surviving to living with intention, desire, and connection
