Our Sex, Pleasure, Romance, and Connection (SPRC) Consult Program is dedicated to providing evidence-based treatment for individuals and couples dealing with concerns related to relationships, intimacy, and sexuality. Unlike generic therapy, our program is tailored to address the unique goals, challenges, and patterns specific to each couple's circumstances. We understand the significance of addressing sexuality and sexual health, which is often overlooked in traditional treatments. As part of our SPRC program, we are committed to providing holistic and integrative care, recognizing the intricate dynamics of trauma and its impact on intimate aspects of life. Our program aims to empower clinicians to skillfully and compassionately navigate the complex intersections of trauma and sexual wellness.
What to Expect
We begin with a multi-session in-depth assessment process to thoroughly examine concerns and obstacles related to relationship, intimacy, and sexual satisfaction. Based on the assessment data and therapy goals, we formulate personalized treatment plans to ensure the most comprehensive care specific to the client and/or relationship. Similar to our other clinical programs, we collect outcome data for each couple and/or individual to ensure that treatment goals are being met.
What We Treat
Furthermore, our sex therapy-informed clinicians have received formal, specialized training in the latest evidence-based treatments for couples, such as The Gottman Method, Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Conjoint Therapy for PTSD.
Our clinicians are trained to address the following concerns:
Relationship difficulties
Relationship recovery after an affair/betrayal
Relationship transitions (e.g., marriage, divorce, separation)
Enhancing intimacy and couples satisfaction
Supporting a loved one through a difficult period
Improved communication and conflict resolution skills
Increased sexual wellness and satisfaction

Many people are involved in kink, and many therapists are uncomfortable with it, or simply haven't tried to understand it. Often they will not talk about sex at all in a session, when it can be such a huge part of our life and the way we interact with our partners. This leaves some relationships within the kink umbrella vulnerable and without support from qualified therapists.
Many therapists simply misunderstand the dynamics involved. Some think it's purely a response to trauma. Some think even worse. But studies don't support the common misperceptions around kink. I follow Justin Lehmiller, one of the current sex researchers and educators, who is one in a long line of researchers and therapists like Kinsey, Shere Hite, Master's & Johnson, Dr Sue Johanssen, and Dr Ruth.
