At Theraviv Wellness, our goal is to educate and empower individuals and couples to learn how to manage their life adjustments confidently and with compassion for themselves. Theraviv Wellness is a virtual practice serving individuals and couples in Illinois and Georgia, focused on sexual health and perinatal mental health.

As an AASECT-certified sex therapist, I am sex-positive and support clients of all genders and orientations with any family structure or life circumstance. Other clients have described me as open-minded, compassionate and direct. I provide therapy to people who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community and high-achieving professionals. For the first 12 years of my career, I primarily provided therapy to people living with HIV in both New Orleans and Nashville. When I first started studying psychology, I found it baffling that sexuality was a negligible part of educating mental health professionals when it is such an important aspect of a healthy and full life. In my work with clients, sexuality is always part of our work together, so I sought additional training to become an AASECT-certified sex therapist. I am passionate about sexual and reproductive justice and teaching clients to advocate for themselves in and out of the bedroom.  

As an ex-evangelical queer person, I am passionate about partnering with LGBTQIA+ adults to help them live authentic and fulfilling sexual, relational, and spiritual lives through sex and relationship therapy. Client issues include but are not limited to navigating non-affirming relationships, sexual concerns and "dysfunctions," and breakdowns in communication or values conflicts. I collaborate with my clients to increase self-understanding, foster agency, clarify self-defined values, build communication skills, increase emotional well-being in relationships, heal from religious trauma, and explore spirituality. My approach is shaped by Internal Family Systems or parts work. I have received multicultural training through the National Board of Certified Counselors Minority Fellowship Program. Additionally, I have actively pursued my own learning on topics such as consensual non-monogamy, kink/BDSM, and sex work.

Are you struggling with overwhelming anxiety, intimacy issues, or shame about the past? I am Kelsey, a trauma-informed, sex-positive therapist practicing in the state of New York. I have experience with PTSD, grief, life transitions, navigating intimate relationships, chronic illness, perfectionism, and anxiety. I am receiving ongoing sex and couples therapy training through the Sexual Health Alliance.

Hey there! I’m thrilled and honored to join you on your healing journey. My name is Regina (she/her/hers), and I can’t wait to get to know you better as we take this meaningful step together. I’m super passionate about LGBTQIA+ issues. To understand your unique experience I approach therapy through a trauma-informed lens with heart, kindness, and compassion.

Each of us bears some degree of suffering and distress, which impacts our ability and/or desire to connect and relate to others and the world around us. It can often have us feeling isolated, angry, hopeless, and searching for a way out. Reaching out for professional help is an empowering step towards learning healthy and positive ways of working through and overcoming past traumas and negative experiences.

Are you feeling the pressure to settle down and start a family, but you aren’t sure that is what you want for your life? Are you looking to heal from past sexual trauma while also developing the insight and skills to create lasting intimate relationships? Are you someone who appears to have it all figured out on the outside but on the inside you are dealing with nagging self-doubt, anxious thoughts, and questions about the future? I provide individual and couples therapy, offering in-person and virtual sessions in Michigan. I am currently under the supervision of Dr. Joe Kort at the Center for Relationship and Sexual Health.

As a trauma, sex/intimacy, and relationship therapist, I bring a unique approach to the therapy process. Sex and intimacy can be challenging because of the history we bring with us into our relationships. Traumas from childhood, past relationships, trust issues, sexuality/gender struggles, anxiety, shame, stress can inhibit the development of deep intimate relationship with others. I have a passion for supporting my clients through healing and reconnection to their bodies, their own pleasure in order connect intimately in a healthy way with the people in their lives.
