We are all beautifully complex individuals, with every aspect of our identities—such as our work, race, gender, sexuality, and many other roles we play in life such as being a parent, a spouse, and child of aging parents—intertwining to shape who we are. Unfortunately, many clinicians hesitate to engage with the topic of sexuality. It’s surprising to learn that human sexuality isn't a required area of training for many counselors and therapists, which can leave a gap in their ability to navigate these sensitive conversations. This often results in discussions being influenced by conservative or mainstream beliefs rather than evidence-based understanding. At Connected Wellness Counseling, we strive to create a safe space for our clients. You can feel confident bringing up any part of your life, knowing that we will respond with warmth, compassion, and genuine understanding.
