Sex Therapy & Intimacy Work

🍑 Sex Therapy in Chicago & Across Illinois

Your relationship with sex is allowed to be complex.

At Gemstone Wellness, we understand that sex is more than a physical act- it’s a language of connection, vulnerability, and identity. Whether you're navigating shame, desire, trauma, disconnection, or change, our sex therapy work begins from a place of deep permission: You are not broken.

Sex therapy can support you if you're experiencing:

• Pain, discomfort, or fear related to intimacy or arousal

• Loss of sexual desire or mismatched libidos

• Shame tied to cultural, religious, or family messages about sex

• Recovery from sexual trauma or violation

• Questions around orientation, gender, kink, or identity

• Navigating sex and connection in long-term partnerships

• Healing from infidelity, betrayal, or ruptured trust

We work gently, and insightfully.

Our clinicians don’t rush to “fix” or pathologize. Instead, we hold space for the emotional roots of your experience—your body’s wisdom, your nervous system, your story. Some sessions explore patterns in relationships or trauma history. Others center communication, pleasure, or exploring what safety means in your body.

Whether you're coming alone or with a partner, you’ll find our space to be warm, affirming, and attuned to your needs.

Our sex therapy team is LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed, and deeply attuned to identity and power.

We believe in:

• Consent culture

• Non-judgmental exploration

• The healing potential of naming what hasn’t been spoken
