Sex Therapy

Sex and intimacy can be deeply vulnerable, and when things feel off, it can leave you feeling isolated, anxious, or even broken. Maybe you're struggling with pain during sex, shame around desire, or anxiety that’s getting in the way of connection. Or maybe you're part of a couple feeling the growing distance, wondering how to find your way back to each other emotionally or physically.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. I offer counseling tailored to women and couples who want to understand themselves, heal past wounds, and cultivate a more connected, empowered sexual relationship. Together, we’ll create a space that’s safe, compassionate, and grounded in your values—so you can reclaim intimacy and move toward the fulfilling connection you deserve.

Differences in Libido

If you're struggling to address differences in libido with your partner, I'm here to help. I offer a range of communication and intimacy-building techniques to help couples feel more comfortable and connected with each other. I am ready to work with you and your partner(s) to find a lasting solution to this common issue.

Pain/Anxiety with Sex

Living with pain or anxiety during sex can be stressful and isolating. I offer a safe and supportive environment where you can overcome these challenges by addressing the underlying factors causing your pain or anxiety to break the cycle of sexual avoidance and rediscover the pleasure in your relationship.

Arousal and Orgasm

If you're experiencing difficulties with arousal or orgasm, I can help guide you to reconnect with yourself and your partner(s). Together, we'll explore what factors might be affecting your pleasure, and rediscover what ignites your desire. It's time to take back control and discover the pleasure you deserve.

Sexual Empowerment

I support individuals in their sexual empowerment journey by creating a safe, non-judgmental space for growth and exploration. Together, we'll address any negative emotions or beliefs that may be holding you back and build shame-resilience skills. Let's work towards promoting healthy sexuality and personal empowerment!

Sexual Shame

I aim to help you overcome your struggles with sexual shame and embrace healthy sexuality. I work with clients from all backgrounds, including those who have been affected by purity culture. I hope to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment to help you challenge and reduce avoidance or anxiety related to sex to find healing and empowerment.

Kink/BDSM

Interested in exploring kink/BDSM, but may be nervous? I understand the importance of education, communication, boundaries, and obtaining consent with kink/BDSM. We make those factors a priority during our sessions, so I can help you navigate and learn more about the unique aspects of these interests.

Sex Education

I can provide comprehensive sex education to help you gain a better understanding of your body and explore various options for lubricants, toys, and proper sexual health care. I prioritize your comfort and aim to create a safe and supportive environment for you to learn and grow and become empowered in your sexuality.

Touch & Affection

I help couples increase physical affection and intimacy through non-demand touch. Sensate focus therapy creates a safe and nurturing environment where you can explore and strengthen your physical relationship to reduce sexual pressure with touch and build deeper, more meaningful connections with your partner(s).

Please note that sex therapy is talk therapy only with a focus on communication. It does not involve sexual contact or physical touch with the therapist. Rachael Lindberg, LPC will not respond to inappropriate consult requests.

While I work primarily with women and couples, I do not specialize in treating men's sexual concerns, such as delayed or early ejaculation, performance anxiety, or erectile dysfunction. If you're seeking support in these areas, I’m happy to provide a trusted referral to a specialist who can help.
