Sex-Positive LGBTQIIA+ Affirming Therapy
At Embrace Sexual Wellness, we are proudly LGBTQIIA+ celebratory therapists. Our team are made up of members of the queer community and allies, and we recognize how isolating it can feel to find a provider you click with. We know the challenges many queer people experience in healthcare and we want to be part of your healing journey.
We can help you explore your sexuality in a non-judgmental environment without making it the main emphasis of our sessions or treating it like something that needs to change. We support your sexual wellness goals whether you are bicurious, genderqueer, transgender or non-binary, pansexual, asexual, aromantic, or you have identity questions you’ve never shared with anyone. Our therapists are actively Anti-Oppressive, Kink-Aware, Polyam-Friendly, and LGBTQIIA+ celebratory professionals and we welcome people of all abilities, backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, and relationship configurations.

The Coming Out Process
Deciding to come out can be down right overwhelming. Coming out can also bring up excitement, possibility, fear, and hope. It’s common for this experience to lead to fear and anxiety. The support people receive during the coming out process makes a huge difference.
Therapy can help lesbian, gay, bisexual, and TGNC people explore their feelings about coming out and process the experience afterwards. For many people, the process of coming out is one that unfolds over time socially, professionally, and sometimes legally and medically. Working with a trained professional to plan for coming out to family and friends can help you develop a greater sense of ease about the whole thing. Our team can also help you develop a safety plan and identify appropriate resources to make this process easier.
Sex Therapy for Queer People
Sex therapy can be helpful to create a safe and validating space for you to explore your sexuality without judgment. Sex-positive therapists recognize the diversity of sexual expression and behaviors, the expansiveness of gender, sexual interests and lifestyle choices. They’ll create an inclusive environment and can help you develop tools for dealing with negative sexual scripts while enhancing your understanding of your own sexuality.
Recognizing that sex therapy is working involves improvements in communication, comfort, and sexual satisfaction. If you're experiencing sexual issues or are simply looking to enhance your sexual well-being, don’t hesitate to seek the guidance of a qualified sex therapist. It can be the first step toward a more fulfilling and satisfying sex life.
