Sex Therapy and Intimacy Counseling in Seattle and Online Across WA

Sexual disconnection can feel so isolating...whether it’s a drop in desire, tension around touch, or misaligned needs, sex and intimacy therapy can help you understand what’s happening, and then create meaningful, satisfying change.

You might be struggling with desire, mismatched libido, pleasure, shame, anxiety, past trauma, or simply feeling like the spark has faded. Whatever you're navigating, therapy (good therapy) provides a safe, nonjudgmental place to explore those patterns with someone who gets it, through compassionate sex therapy and intimacy counseling from a Certified Sex Therapist.

At Clarity, we support individuals and couples of all sexual identities and orientations. Whether your challenges are emotional, relational, physical, or all of the above, we’re here to help you feel closer, more confident, and more connected again.

What is sex and intimacy therapy?

Sex therapy is talk therapy that helps individuals and couples address the emotional, relational, and psychological aspects of sexuality and physical connection. It’s not about performance or judgment...it’s about getting curious, feeling safe, and finding what works for you.

We work with clients facing issues such as:

• Desire discrepancy in long-term relationships
• Low or absent sexual desire (by the way, the focus should be much more about pleasure than desire, but that's a discussion for another time)
• Performance anxiety, shame, or fear of rejection
• Difficulty with arousal, orgasm, or sexual satisfaction
• Impact of trauma on intimacy or body connection
• Changes due to aging, pregnancy, postpartum, or menopause
• Aversion to touch
• Loss of emotional closeness

What it’s like to work with a sex therapist

You don’t have to explain everything from scratch. At Clarity, our sex therapists are trained to hold space for sensitive topics with compassion and skill. We’re LGBTQIA+ affirming, kink-aware, and deeply respectful of every client’s boundaries, pace, and goals.

Sex therapy isn’t prescriptive. We don’t tell you what “normal” looks like...we help you define what’s fulfilling and meaningful for you.

Meet our sex and intimacy therapists

Do we both need to attend therapy?

You actually don't. We work with individuals, couples, and polycules: whether you want to explore intimacy solo, as a couple or polycule, or as a starting point while your partner or partners warm up to the idea. If your partner isn’t ready yet, couples therapy for one can be an effective path forward as well.

How can therapy improve intimacy?

• Feel more comfortable in your body and with your desires
• Bring a focus on pleasure back into the mix
• Develop language to express needs, boundaries, and turn-ons
• Move past anxiety or shame about sex
• Reconnect emotionally and physically with your partner(s)
• Understand and heal from sexual trauma or avoidance patterns

Intimacy is more than sex, and sex is more than a checklist. We’ll help you find your way back to connection, confidence, and closeness.
