Hello I am Melissa McManis, LCSW; Trained in the Somatica Method of Sex Therapy and Coaching. I specialize in helping individuals navigate the sensitive issues related to erotic recovery and sex. Many of my clients struggle with shame. You may experience a range of issues related to your sexuality, such as: anxiety or depression related to your sexual experiences, sexual avoidance and/or relationship issues related to sexuality or intimacy. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors related to your sexuality and reconnect with pleasure. In working together, we can focus on helping you cultivate deeper connections with others, and learn how to have sexually and emotionally more fulfilling experiences with others. This can be vulnerable work! I can teach you coping skills and work with you to help you connect more fully with yourself and others and reclaim your ability expand your pleasure potential and show up more fully in your life. I give homework that is experiential that you can apply solo or with a partner.
