“I’m so stuck... I don’t know who I am... No one taught me this…”

Taking that first step is brave—and we’re here to walk with you as you reclaim your sexual wellness and intimacy.
You deserve a sex life that feels nourishing, connected, and true to you. Sex therapy at Peak is a safe, shame-free space to explore your sexual wellness, address concerns, and move toward intimacy that feels confident and alive.

“I don’t know what happened to us. . .
I just feel like my body is broken. . .
Where has my partner gone. . .
I feel alone. . .
I’m so confused, it doesn’t make sense. . .
I feel so dull and disconnected.”
So, What is Sex Therapy?
Sex therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy focused on addressing your sexual confidence, satisfaction, functioning, and identity. It’s a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns about your sexual life with a supportive, well-trained therapist.
Together, we create a plan to address the challenges you’re facing and help you build the intimacy and connection you desire.
Sex therapy integrates with your whole-life wellness, acknowledging that concerns like anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, and past traumas often impact sexual wellness.
