Julianna Shaltry

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in couples, marriage and sex. My goal is to help couples achieve a secure connection and heal from old wounds that may be impacting their relationship satisfaction. I help couples with a variety of concerns including sexual issues, infidelity, communication struggles, emotional closeness and intimacy. I am committed to providing an affirming, inclusive, and supportive space for LGBT+ individuals. I believe in the richness of diverse identities and experiences, and I strive to create a therapeutic environment where clients of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions feel seen, respected, and empowered. I also believe in an attachment model to understanding relationships: that we either learned connection was safe and comforting or we learned it was not. These early messages about safety in relationships have a meaningful impact what happens when we try to be close to others. Understanding what you have learned about connection, safety and yourself are central to the work we will do together. For sex therapy clients: I offer a nonjudgmental, sex-positive space that affirms and supports clients engaged in consensual kink, BDSM, and alternative relationship structures. I recognize the importance of autonomy, informed consent, and open communication, and I strive to provide care that respects and honors each individual’s unique identity and experience. I look forward to working with you and your partner on creating a healthy, satisfying and passionate relationship.
