Sex & Relationship Therapy for Individuals and Couples
Compassionate, evidence‑based support for intimacy, desire, communication, and sexual well‑being — grounded in inclusivity, consent, and real‑life complexity.
Who This Is For
If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or frustrated in your relationship with sex or intimacy, you’re not broken — and you’re not alone.
You may be:
Struggling with desire differences or low libido
Experiencing sexual pain, anxiety, or avoidance
Recovering from trauma that impacts intimacy
Feeling disconnected from your partner
Wanting a healthier, more confident relationship with your body or sexuality
Therapy can help you understand what’s happening and move toward change with clarity and support.
How I Help
Hi, I’m Sarah Cissell an AASECT certified sex therapist.
I offer sex and relationship therapy for individuals and couples who want thoughtful, shame‑free support.
My work integrates:
Sex‑positive, trauma‑informed care
Evidence‑based therapeutic approaches
Education about how bodies, desire, and relationships actually work
Respect for your values, identities, and lived experiences
Sessions are collaborative, paced to your needs, and grounded in practical tools you can apply outside the therapy room.
I am a true believer that we all could benefit from having a space to discuss and process what is going on in our lives. I create a therapeutic space free from judgement that is safe and affirming of who you are. I approach the process of healing with curiosity to help you build self-awareness and make positive life changes. I specialize in relationship, dating, and intimacy work because of the awesome transformative potential created by human connections.

Why Work With Me
What Therapy Looks Like
Choosing a therapist — especially for sex and intimacy — requires trust.
I bring:
Advanced training in sex therapy
A non‑judgmental, inclusive approach
Experience working with diverse relationship structures and identities
A balance of warmth, honesty, and practical guidance
My role is not to “fix” you, but to help you better understand yourself and create the changes you’re seeking.
In our work together, we may:
Clarify what’s contributing to current challenges
Learn how desire, arousal, and attachment function
Build communication and emotional safety
Develop tools to reduce anxiety and increase pleasure
Go at a pace that feels manageable and respectful
There is no one “right” way to do sex or relationships — therapy helps you define what works for you.
Individual and couples sessions available
Telehealth options offered
Inclusive of LGBTQIA+ identities and relationship styles
Clear discussion of fees, scheduling, and expectations
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially around sex and intimacy. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear plan — just a willingness to begin.
A brief consultation gives you a chance to ask questions, share what’s bringing you in, and see if we’re a good fit.
