Mindfulness Based Sex Therapy
Helping you to more deeply connect with yourself, your passion, your aliveness.
Feeling stuck?
Welcome. I invite you to a take a breath. I provide compassionate mindfulness based sex therapy.
I’m Ethan and I help people to live more radically fulfilling lives of their unique selves
Do you…
Feel cut off from life?
Struggle with shame, particularly in relation to eroticism or pleasure?
Feel at war with yourself?
Struggle with out-of-control sexual behavior such as porn addiction?
Have aspects of lifestyle or relationship dynamics that are sometimes stigmatized, such as kink, or ethical non-monogamy, and want a therapist who won’t be thrown off by this?
Want to explore gender identity beyond the binary, maybe even refine your unique sense and expression of your gender identity?
Feel like something is missing or off in life, despite succeeding at many goals you’ve set yourself?
What is Sex Therapy?
In many ways sex therapy overlaps with traditional therapy models. The aspect that’s different is that I have training and expertise in exploring areas of human sexuality. This opens the door to a lot of aspects of people's lives that can get missed in other therapies. Many therapists aren’t trained to talk about sexuality, or even feel comfortable doing so.
Sexuality is about connection, play, intimacy, how we feel about ourselves, and about ourselves in relationship. All the threads that help to foster mental and emotional distress or wellbeing run through this.
As we speak in our sessions, I might prompt you to notice elements of thoughts, images, or sensations in real-time. I will help you untangle what interpretations and narratives you’re automatically layering over your current experience. When nothing is off the table within a supportive conversation, you can understand your own boundaries, needs, desires, and wants in a new way.Sometimes there may be exercises to practice at home, to help you gather data about your experience. The work is about the relationship with the body, the emotions, and ourselves, and how we express that.
In our work together we would focus on the specific goals that brought you into treatment, with an added element of expanding your capacity for pleasure, connection to yourself and others, and openness to life.
