What is Sex Therapy?
-
Sex therapy is a specialized type of psychotherapy that addresses sexual concerns, intimacy challenges, desire discrepancies, sexual dysfunction (such as ED or vaginismus), and relational issues. It is evidence-informed and tailored to the needs of individuals and couples seeking clarity, connection, and sexual well-being.
-
Individuals and couples experiencing sexual challenges, intimacy concerns, desire differences, conflict, trust or infidelity issues, trauma, sexual assault, domestic violence, prenatal or postpartum mood disorders, infertility, pregnancy loss, or identity exploration often benefit from sex therapy.
-
Sex therapy sessions are collaborative, confidential, and structured. We explore emotional, relational, and physiological patterns, build communication skills, address shame or trauma, and develop strategies for reconnecting with your partner or yourself.
-
No. Many individuals seek sex therapy on their own to understand their sexual health, improve confidence, or work through trauma. Couples also attend together to enhance connection, trust, and intimacy.

As a Board Certified Sex Therapist (Therapist Certification Association) and Certified Sexologist, I provide expert, evidence-informed care for sexual and relational concerns.
-
Yes. All sessions are confidential and designed to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Therapy focuses on understanding patterns, improving communication, and creating meaningful connection.

I’m Taneka M. Bennett, LCMHCA, Board Certified Sex Therapist. At Sxuations, I offer boutique therapy for individuals and couples navigating sexual challenges, intimacy concerns, trauma, or relationship stress.
As a creative and musician, I bring a unique “ear” to our sessions. I don’t just hear your words; I notice the rhythms of your relationships, the silent notes of your inner world, and the patterns that shape desire, connection, and flow. My creative approach combined with science backed methods, is shaped to your individual needs.
