Jessica VerBout, LMFT, CST, CST-S
As a certified sex therapist, I embrace the belief that sexuality is a beautiful, complicated, and multi-faceted aspect of the human experience. Working within a sex-positive approach, I recognize the inherent beauty in the diversity and complexity of every client, and by fostering a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore and understand their own sexuality. Through open dialogue and compassionate guidance, I work to help individuals and all types of relationship structures to navigate the intricate layers of their sexual identity, redefine and discover pleasure, and enhance acceptance for the beautiful intimacy they desire.
