Sex Therapy in Chicago
& Virtual Across Illinois

Soleil Psychotherapy offers sex therapy to support individuals and couples addressing struggles with intimacy, sexual concerns, and the impact of past trauma on sexual well-being. Our clinicians provide professional mental health support, integrating education and evidence-based somatic approaches to help clients build confidence and connection.

Our sexuality is such an important part of our identities, but our sex life and sexual issues often go unspoken inside and outside of psychotherapy. As humans, we are innately social and sexual beings. However, even though human sexuality plays a significant role in our well-being—by allowing procreation, bonding, and the experience of pleasure—these topics are rarely discussed. They remain taboo in mental health sessions and social relationships, even though addressing them is vital for overall sexual health.

If you had parents or caretakers who did not have the knowledge, skills, or desire to talk openly about sex and healthy sexuality, your entire sexuality education could have taken place in a junior high classroom. And honestly, what do you remember from that experience besides where babies come from? Instead of learning about masturbation and pleasure, how to practice safe sex, what consent is, and how to access sexual health resources, our early education is often rooted in fear, focusing on the dangers of sex rather than your overall wellness.

With limited information circulating about human sexuality, sexual dysfunction can often go unaddressed, directly impacting your sex life and relationship satisfaction. Consequences of a poor sexuality education and living in a society where shame and sex often go hand in hand include fear of exploring gender or sexual orientation, an inability to express needs to a partner, and even feeling broken. Sex therapy sessions offer a safe space to address these sexual problems and reclaim your sexual health.

Sex therapy can help with:

• Low sexual desire

• Arousal concerns

• Body image and shame

• Orgasm concerns

• Painful intercourse

• Relationship intimacy challenges

• Healing from sexual trauma and its impact on sexuality

You might already feel like you will never be loved or experience pleasure, and perhaps you’ve given up on relationship altogether, but our practice is here to help you challenge these negative socio-cultural messages about sex, rewrite your own sexual narrative and help you feel more connected to your body and navigate relationships in a more assertive and confident way! 

Sex often goes unspoken in our world. But we are here to help you discover and express your sexuality.
