Introduction

I’m Dr. Shie Benisti, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, and PhD in Clinical Sexology specializing in sexual desire, intimacy, and relationships. I work with individuals and couples navigating differences in desire, sexual concerns, relationship patterns, anxiety, and experiences from the past that may be affecting their lives today.

I integrate sex therapy, relational and attachment-based approaches, and EMDR when appropriate to help you better understand yourself, your relationships, and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
