BLENDING HEART AND MIND SINCE 1983
We provide expert and compassionate psychotherapy that blends the best of heart and mind. Heart: treating you as an equal, your life goals guide our approach and your counseling. Mind: within this caring environment, we apply the latest discoveries in brain science and holistic medicine. We take pride in keeping current with cutting-edge professional psychotherapy techniques, but we know technical skill can’t work without a non-judgmental, compassionate connection.

We are widely known for trail-blazing work in the sex therapy field. But we serve all kinds of people with our individual, family, and relationship psychotherapy services. We counsel kids, teens, and adults, and we help with problems that range from depression to low self-esteem, addictions to unmanageable life stresses, family turmoil to loss and grief. We are internationally recognized for our expertise on sexual minorities: gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender, as well as people in the leather, BDSM (kink), and polyamory communities.
