Christin Grice, LMFT, Sex Therapist

I’m Christin Grice, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and AASECT certified sex therapist. With more than 15 years of clinical experience, I specialize in sexual concerns including erectile dysfunction (ED), premature ejaculation (PE), delayed ejaculation, sexual performance anxiety, pornography concerns, and sexual compulsivity. I create a space where clients can be open, honest, and fully themselves while exploring the concerns that brought them to therapy. My approach is collaborative, practical, and sex-positive. I draw from mindfulness, CBT, erotic mindfulness, and other evidence-based approaches to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns while developing practical tools for meaningful change. __________________________________________________________________ Sex Therapy What Sex Therapy Is: Sex therapy is a specialized form of talk therapy that focuses on intimacy, relationships, and sexual well-being. It helps individuals and couples explore concerns such as communication, desire differences, performance anxiety, identity, and emotional or physical barriers to connection. The work is collaborative, educational, and grounded in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can better understand themselves and their relationships. What Sex Therapy Is Not: Sex therapy is not physical or hands-on in any way. There is no sexual contact, demonstration, or explicit activity during sessions. It is not about judgment, pressure, or quick fixes. Instead, it is a professional, ethical process led by a licensed therapist that supports clients in building healthier, more fulfilling intimate lives at their own pace. __________________________________________________________________ Therapy for Adolescent Males: While my practice primarily focuses on adults, I also work with adolescent males experiencing challenges related to anger, emotional regulation, sexual development, LGBTQ+ identity, and the effects of early exposure to pornography. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help young men build healthy coping skills and confidence. __________________________________________________________________ Education & Training: California State University, Monterey Bay Bachelor of Arts in Social and Behavioral Sciences, Minor in Psychology, 2007 John F.

Together, we can explore whether my approach feels like the right fit for your needs and goals. __________________________________________________________________ For Physicians and Urologists: I collaborate with physicians and urologists to provide comprehensive, integrated care for patients experiencing sexual health concerns. Many challenges such as erectile difficulties, performance anxiety, low desire, and intimacy-related stress benefit from both medical and psychological support. I offer a confidential and collaborative approach that supports your treatment goals while addressing the emotional, relational, and behavioral aspects of sexual health. If you are interested in coordinating care or referring a patient, please feel free to reach out to discuss how we can work together. __________________________________________________________________ FAQ: Is online sex therapy confidential? Yes. Sessions take place through secure telehealth platforms and follow the same confidentiality standards as in-person therapy. Do I need to be in a relationship to see a sex therapist? No. Many clients attend therapy individually to explore their own relationship with sexuality, confidence, or identity. Is it normal to feel nervous talking about sex? Absolutely. Many people feel hesitant at first. Creating a safe and respectful environment is an important part of the process. How long does therapy last? It depends on your goals. Some clients attend for a few months, while others work longer to address deeper patterns. ________________________________________________________________ Media & Publications Christin Grice,is available for media features, podcast interviews, speaking engagements, and freelance writing opportunities focused on mental health, sexuality, relationships, intimacy, and human connection.
