Humans are sexual beings and that fact is often not directly addressed in therapeutic spaces. If you are having sexual intimacy challenges as an individual or in partnership, sex therapy seeks to address those challenges and support you in attaining the sexual life and expression that aligns with who you are.
Sexual identity and expression are deeply connected to our vulnerable and creative selves. Many people do not grow up in sex positive or sexually affirming environments, and others have experienced sexual trauma. This can create problems around sexual expression influenced by feelings of shame, embarrassment, timidity and/or insecurity.
Often in working with couples and partners, the quality of the relationship’s emotional safety and communication skills are reflected in the quality of sexual intimacy people are experiencing. Therefore, it can be difficult to address relationship problems if the sexual problems aren’t also addressed. Our sexuality is vulnerable and beautiful and deserves safety and care. Whether your sexual intimacy challenges are informed by trauma, beliefs, judgment, fears, or functionality, sex therapy can help you connect to yourself and partners with greater satisfaction.

We created Colors of Austin Counseling to be a group of like-minded BIPOC practitioners serving the community of individuals with identities and backgrounds similar to our own. Being fully understood and seen on your healing journey is of the utmost importance, yet it can be difficult for BIPOC individuals to find trusted therapists in their community. Our diverse and experienced team exists to fill that void and provide individuals with a wide range of methods and practitioners to choose from based on their unique needs and mental health goals.
