Sex Therapy in Lakewood, CO for Couples, Individuals & Relationship Healing

Reconnect with your body, your partner, and yourself. We address communication issues, intimacy struggles, mismatched desire, emotional disconnection, performance anxiety, and relationship burnout.

You might still love each other—but the spark, the safety, or the trust is missing. Maybe sex feels forced or nonexistent. Maybe desire is mismatched, you feel shut down, or you’re stuck in a loop of rejection, pressure, or resentment. And for some couples, the rupture of infidelity has made intimacy feel confusing or impossible. Sex therapy offers a space to unpack the layers—emotional, physical, relational—and begin rebuilding connection from something real. Whether you're healing from betrayal, navigating performance anxiety, or just longing to feel close again, we hold space for the raw truth without shame. We offer sex therapy in Lakewood, CO and online across Colorado for individuals and couples ready to reconnect with themselves and each other.

When did it start feeling easier to avoid each other than to talk about it?
Maybe sex has become a source of conflict - or silence. You’re not broken, and your relationship isn’t beyond repair. But intimacy doesn’t just come back on its own. If you’re feeling disconnected, resentful, rejected, or afraid to even bring it up, you’re not alone.

At Heart Space Counseling, we offer sex therapy that’s grounded, nonjudgmental, and focused on helping you rebuild trust, connection, and desire - emotionally and physically.

 

What Is Sex Therapy?

Sex therapy is a specialized form of relationship counseling that helps individuals and couples address issues related to sexual desire, communication, intimacy, physical connection, and emotional closeness. It's not about sex acts—it's about what sex means in the context of your relationship.

We help you untangle:

  • Mismatched desire and libido differences

  • Emotional disconnection in long-term partnerships

  • Sex after infidelity or betrayal

  • Performance anxiety or sexual shame

  • Difficulty with arousal, orgasm, or physical touch

  • Loss of intimacy after childbirth, illness, trauma, or conflict

  • Feeling like roommates instead of romantic partners

We work with all genders, orientations, and relationship structures.

​

What Does Sex Therapy Look Like?

Sex therapy doesn’t involve anything sexual happening in the room. It’s talk therapy—with a focus on unpacking what’s getting in the way of physical and emotional intimacy.

You might:

  • Explore your early experiences and beliefs about sex

  • Identify emotional blocks or patterns in your dynamic

  • Learn tools to talk about sex without shame or defensiveness

  • Rebuild trust after infidelity or a dry spell

  • Deepen connection through small, safe steps that rebuild desire

Whether you're healing from betrayal or just feel “off” in the bedroom, this is a space to be honest, seen, and supported.

"Is This Normal?" — Common Questions Clients Ask

We haven’t had sex in months - maybe years. Can therapy even help us?
Yes. Avoidance usually isn’t the problem itself; it’s the symptom of something deeper. Whether it's resentment, fear of rejection, or emotional shutdown, we help you uncover what's underneath and move forward at a pace that feels safe.

​

What if one of us wants sex more than the other?
This is called desire discrepancy, and it’s one of the most common issues we work with. It’s not about who’s “right”. It’s about learning to honor both people’s needs without pressure, shame, or power struggles.

​

Can sex therapy help after infidelity?
Absolutely. Betrayal impacts not just trust, but safety in the body and in intimate moments. Rebuilding that safety is possible, but it has to happen slowly, with care. We help you grieve, repair, and rebuild connection that feels real - not forced.

​

What if sex has never really worked for us?
Sometimes couples don’t know what they’re missing until they finally feel safe enough to explore it. We help you build a language for desire and create experiences that feel connected - not performative.

Why Sex Therapy at Heart Space Counseling Center is Different

This isn’t clinical, awkward, or surface-level. At Heart Space Counseling Center, we don’t reduce your intimacy issues to “just communication problems.” We understand the emotional layers, the history, and the vulnerability it takes to even ask for help. We also know how easy it is to feel alone in this struggle—especially when everything looks fine on the outside.

We offer:

  • Sex therapy for couples and individuals

  • Trauma-informed, emotionally attuned care

  • EMDR and IFS integration when needed

  • Support for emotional disconnection, infidelity recovery, and sexual shame

  • LGBTQ+ affirming, inclusive care

Sessions available in-person in Lakewood, CO and via secure online therapy across Colorado.

​

You Don’t Have to Keep Pretending.

Sex doesn’t have to feel like pressure, rejection, or obligation. It can feel like connection, safety, and home again.

​

If you're ready to stop avoiding and start rebuilding, we’re here for that.
