Are you struggling in your relationship? Does it feel like you keep getting caught in the same fight? Do you love your partner but feel disheartened and disconnected due to conflict? The longing you have for deep connection and closeness is a basic human need. Are you experiencing any kind of issue with sexual functioning? Pain with sex is common, yet commonly misunderstood. Chances are, you want to feel seen, heard, and believed in your experience with pelvic pain and maybe your support system doesn’t quite understand. You may have great medical support, but mind-body integration is critical for lasting pain relief.

We all have a story to tell. Our lives are full of hopes and dreams, fears and struggles. No matter if the client in front of me is a twenty year old struggling with their gender or sexual identity, a couple in their 40's experiencing mismatched desire, or a sixty year old with sexual dysfunction concerns, we all need someone to listen and support us. I consider myself to be an empathetic therapist. I want to support my client as best. I also know that it isn't easy to go to therapy and I want to be someone who starts with where the client is at, but also know that I can be direct at times if needed, and softer at other times.

Are you stuck feeling disappointed, hurt, lonely, or betrayed? Are you confused about what you want in your life? Are you unhappy and unsure of how to make positive changes in your relationships? Do you want to make your life more satisfying? I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and AASECT certified Sex Therapist.

I help families improve communication, collaboration, and problem solving, and feel more connected to each other.

There is much in our world that pulls us away from ourselves..from truly feeling grounded. Coming home is meant to describe the process of connection and healing that can happen when we set aside all the daily distractions and step back into ourselves. Once home, within ourselves, we can finally begin to connect, understand, and heal. This allows space for vulnerability, growth, and love. Whether you are having difficulties moving beyond shame and trauma, having difficulties enjoying sexual activity or want to better connect with your partner(s), I am here to listen, educate and guide at your pace to a whole new way of living.

My name is Sarah Chavez and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

Informed by lived experiences and diverse clinical work, I've come to specialize in sex therapy, relational issues, partners of sex addicts, and family therapy. For the past 7 years I have worked with a variety of populations throughout Los Angeles. I work from a systems theory model in which I conceptualize mental health and sexual issues in relation to larger societal systems and cultural "norms". Additionally, I utilize art to facilitate new ways of healing. When talking isn't enough, art can awaken the emotional parts of the brain and integrate deeper healing within the nervous system. ​

I take a very straightforward, yet warm and non-judgmental approach to my work. I offer client-centered therapy with an emphasis on helping individuals reach wholeness and authenticity. I do not believe I can be an authority on anyone else’s experience, but I might be able to offer a perspective that helps someone see their life in another way. We can explore together not just the thoughts you are having, but also the way you relate to others and the way you relate to your body and what it expresses.

Hi there, I'm Dr. Marina Costanzo. It can be intimidating to enter (or re-enter) therapy with someone new, and face areas of our lives that we’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, shameful, stressed, or fearful about. I have a warm and non-judgmental approach to therapy, and hope to facilitate compassion, engagement, and empowerment. I will collaborate with you to provide effective tools for coping in the present, opportunities to safely explore the past, and to build hope, satisfaction, and joy for your future. I value working with clients facing all kinds of difficulties, from everyday stressors to larger concerns.

I specialize in couples therapy and guide couples to strengthen communication, connection and intimacy. Many of my clients struggle with arguments, tension, or "feeling like roommates". Others face difficulties related to division of household duties, parenting, and sex. Some couples begin therapy for support with one partner's alcohol use, anxiety or depression. Many couples come to me in a state of crisis as they contemplate divorce or grapple with the pain of infidelity. I am well versed in helping couples come together to talk through the challenges they are facing, learn relationship skills, bond, heal and grow.

Life can be challenging at times, and it can be good to know that someone is on your side. If you are looking for love, but it seems impossible to find, if you are having trouble in your romantic relationship, if you are dealing with a difficult ex-partner, or you are experiencing sexual challenges, my passion is to help you experience your best life.

I love working with married or dating couples who want to strengthen their relationship. These couples may love each other very much, but struggle with communication and often feel disconnected, frustrated, criticized, rejected, lonely or disappointed. They yearn for more emotional and physical intimacy, yet fall into negative patterns that create more distance. They often want to rekindle their romantic spark and cultivate more playfulness, curiosity, exploration and fun in their sexual relationship. These couples want to heal from past hurts to nurture a safe and secure relationship built on trust, commitment and mutual respect.

I help you assess your relationships and surroundings, to help make life feel more pleasurable, manageable, and fulfilling. Together we'll work to expand your support systems, explore your values, and find your voice. I value your personal histories, cultures, and social environments and prioritize this while we explore your mental, physical, and sexual well-being together.

We all struggle at times, battling inner conflicts that can drain us. As an attachment-focused therapist, I believe we all long for connections—to others, ourselves, and life. It's natural to experience moments of disconnection, and sometimes, we just need a little help recognizing where it's coming from.

Do you want to live a more pleasure-positive life? Don’t allow stigma, guilt, or judgment to hold you back from the life you crave and the love you deserve. Sexual pleasure is a birthright. If you’re looking to create more intimacy in your life and relationships, I offer affirming care for you as a whole person. As a member of the LGBTQ community and a kink identified therapist with over 15 years of study and work in sexual health, I am familiar with the thriving spectrums of Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) and the many ways in which love can be both offered and received in relationships.
