Online Relationship & Sex Therapy in California
Extraordinary times call for unique ways to heal, grow and expand.
Center for Relationship & Intimacy WellBeing is committed to helping you, our greater community. We hear you, and we are here for you. During this time, being unsure of how the COVID-19 epidemic will continue to evolve, we are each being asked to take precautions to stay safe and healthy. For our client’s and staff’s safety, we are offering telehealth services to meet your unique and pressing needs. Social isolation and the different contexts of these last few years have triggered and brought to the surface personal and relationship dynamics—fears, anxiety, depression, trauma response, unmet needs, and voiceless desires—that now require attention and special care.
Through a holistic & integrative perspective, love, life, connection, & intimacy are given the attention they deserve. We provide psychotherapy, counseling, sex therapy, & support groups for all types of relationships, gender, mental health concerns, life transitions, spiritual & religious conflicts, sexual concerns, and relationship dynamics.
Our ultimate goal is to help our clients experience greater inner & outer love, freedom, presence, & intimate connection with self & others. We strongly believe that pleasure & intimacy are sources of growth and healing, and are the wellspring of greater integration for body, heart, mind, and spirit.

Why is certification so important when it comes to finding a sex therapist?
No aspect of the human experience is more intimate and vulnerable than sex and sexuality. AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors & Therapists) Certified Sex Therapists are licensed mental health professionals trained to assess, diagnose, and provide in-depth psychotherapy far beyond the requirements in most psychology programs.
Sex therapists work with sexual concerns, including, but not limited to: sexual function and dysfunction; sexual pleasure; sexual variation; sexuality and disability; sexuality and chronic illness; sexual development across the lifespan; sexual abuse, assault, and coercion; and sexuality across cultures, identity, expression, lifestyle, and gender.
In addition, they are knowledgeable in providing comprehensive and intensive psychotherapy over an extended period in more complex cases. In addition, they go through their own bias and sensitivity training. They are supervised for an additional minimum of 18 months to ensure ethical and clinically indicated application of what they learn.
Because the title Certified Sex Therapist is not a protected or monitored title in every state, some people may use the title without having done such intensive training. Given the sensitive nature of sexual health, it is best to entrust your sexual concerns to an AASECT certified professional.
All our clinicians are members of AASECT and are AASECT Certified Sex Therapists, AASECT Certified Sex Therapy Supervisors, or AASECT Sex Therapy Candidates. All of our clinicians have expertise in the intersection of mental health and sexuality. Our therapists receive supervision, training, and mentoring in holistic mental health, relationship dynamics, and sexuality.

center for relationship & intimacy WELLBEING
Partnerships and individuals of every kind are welcomed here—the silly in love, the deeply pained, the unfaithful, the hopeless, the lonely, the disconnected or the enraged. We will help you remember what you loved about yourself, your partner, and help you rediscover and uncover sides of each other to grow in your intimacy and love.
Pleasure is your birthright. Talking through the various elements of sexual experience in a therapeutic setting can help you identify obstacles (that might exist beyond the realm of sexual performance) and find solutions to sexual and relationship issues.
Truly the issue, conflict or obstacle that gets in the way may very well be the way to the relationship and intimacy you desire.
