Licensed Mental Health Counselor
- (at Seattle Institute for Sex Therapy, Education and Research)
Founded in 1975 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Seattle Institute for Sex Therapy, Education and Research operates on the principle that sexual energy is a positive expression of human life. We serve women and men of all sexual identities, orientations, and lifestyles, assisting people to explore and discover their own sexuality and to find ways to meet their needs. In general, we are supportive of all expressions of sexuality which are not self-destructive or exploitative of others. Fees are negotiable, based on ability to pay. Licensed clinicians certified in sex therapy and/or sex education deal with diverse concerns, e.g., loss of desire; obsessive sexual behavior (sometimes called sexual addiction); erection/ejaculation difficulties; orgasm; vaginismus (vaginal contractions preventing penetration); pain; trauma; paraphilias; sexual/gender identity; conflicts in relationships over sexual values, attitudes, or behaviors. Workshops are presented for both professionals and the general public, typically in co-sponsorship with a business, agency, or educational program. Free telephone consultation is available Mon. - Fri., 9 - 10 AM Pacific Time. - Does phone consultation
