Meet Taneka
Taneka M. Bennett | LCMHCA, Board Certified Sex Therapist, NCC, Certified Sexologist, MA, MBA
I grew up in a household where sex was talked about openly and lovingly, which, back then, made me a bit of a black sheep in my community. I once taught my first-grade class where babies come from. It was the ’70s. The adults were not amused. I was shunned by community, silenced, and made to feel shame for something I had been taught was natural and beautiful. I joke now, laughing about how I started my sex education business early—I was seven.
Life, of course, didn’t stop there. My own journey has been joyful, painful, confusing, meaningful, and full of unexpected growth. I found healing through writing, creating music, community, and working with a really good therapist—learning how to find my rhythm in the middle of life’s chaos. Along the way, I came to deeply understand how trauma, desire, and intimacy intertwine—and how curiosity, courage, and creativity can bring people back to connection, hope, and passion.
My Approach
My work goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I blend creativity, human connection, and science-backed approaches to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface—what keeps you stuck and what helps you move forward. I offer a space where you can be fully seen, where curiosity and exploration is encouraged, laughter and tears are welcome, and nothing about you needs to be hidden, edited or explained away. We’ll flow at your pace. I’ll meet you where you are, honoring your story, and walk alongside you. All are welcome.
Who I’ve Supported
In my work as a Board Certified Sex Therapist and a Certified Sexologist, I’ve walked alongside individuals and couples navigating sexual shame, intimacy struggles, trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault recovery, infidelity, loss and grief, anxiety, depression, postpartum changes, caregiver stress, and the many complexities that show up in relationships. This includes navigating power dynamics, gender role expectations, financial infidelity, and relationships that don’t fit traditional molds, including poly and kink.
I’ve also supported startup founders and professionals facing burnout, chronic stress, and the relational strain that often comes with leadership and high responsibility.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll usually find me spending time with family and friends, writing, producing music, hiking, kayaking, creating artwork or drifting somewhere in a hammock.

My approach is creative, eclectic, and shaped to meet your individual needs. I blend evidence-based and experiential therapy methods to help you understand patterns, reconnect with yourself and others so you can move in your flow.
