Raven O'Rourke, LCSW, MPH

I am a sex therapist and LGBTQQIA2S+ ally. For the first 12 years of my career, I primarily provided therapy to people living with HIV in both New Orleans and Nashville. Many of my clients have previously felt stigmatized or misunderstood in therapy. If we can’t talk about it, we can’t fix it. I provide a non-judgmental, safe space for all people in all relationships with any identity. Though my primary focus is LGBTQQIA2S+ clients, I am also energized by working with high-achieving men who are motivated to achieve treatment goals. Do you identify with any of these statements? • I want to start exploring my gender and/or sexual identity. • We are ready to create or reevaluate a relationship agreement. • Everyone thinks I have the perfect life, but I’m still profoundly unhappy. • I want to learn how to start a conversation with my partner(s) about kink. • We are considering opening our relationship. • We are having erotic conflicts. • I don’t know how to set up personal boundaries to ensure my relationships are healthy. • We want to reignite our long-term relationship. • I feel disconnected from my sexuality and want to explore my erotic self. • I'm afraid to burden my loved ones with my worries. • I have seen other counselors and I had to teach them about my sexuality/gender identity/kink. You don’t have to answer these questions alone. I hope our relationship models a healthy relationship for you to recreate in your own life. We will work together to develop an individualized treatment plan to navigate the challenges you face. I am:  Client-centered  Strengths-based  Trauma-informed  Adaptable As a result of our partnership, you will learn new behavior patterns to achieve your goals and change your story. I offer free texting in between sessions for quick updates or support. I provide secure, HIPAA-compliant online sessions to anyone living in Tennessee. Telehealth is a great option for busy people to avoid commuting or missing work. Please contact me for a free 20-minute consultation to see if we are a good therapeutic fit.
