Sophia O'Connor | MA, LPC, CST

As a master sex & relationship therapist, I am committed to providing empirically based therapy to my clients both locally & internationally via Zoom. My practice is built on the fundamental belief that sexual liberation is an issue of both social justice and mental health. Sexuality runs so deeply through every area of a person’s life and is foundational to meaningful satisfaction in our lives and relationships.

 

Understanding one’s sexuality and owning it, permits us to express ourselves fully, leading to a more pleasurable, assertive, and vibrant life. My therapy approach emphasizes the importance of pleasure & an understanding of how our past experiences impact our present relationships and barriers to fulfilling intimacy.

I graduated from Naropa University with a Master’s Degree in Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology. I also have a Master's in Human Sexuality from The California Institute of Integral Studies. I am a certified sex therapist & relationship counselor.

Matty Phelps | MA, MFT-C

I believe everyone has the capacity to change and evolve. I see my job as a therapist to be like walking through the woods next to you with a flashlight, helping to create a clearer path to a life that feels more vibrant and pleasurable. I assist couples in replacing patterns of conflict with new ways of communicating that lead to increased intimacy and relationship satisfaction. 

 

My approach to therapy work is guided by emotion: what is safe to express, what is threatening to say out loud, and how does being more emotionally honest (with self and other) help us show up fully in our most important relationships.

I received my Master’s Degree in Couple and Family Therapy from the University of Colorado Denver (MFT). I am a Level II Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) clinician and trained in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. My work centers emotional intimacy, with self and other, as the main driver for relationship satisfaction.

I integrate somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and communication tools to help clients feel grounded and secure in their relationships. Together, we rebuild intimacy and cultivate authenticity and balance.

I hold a Master’s in Transpersonal Psychology from Naropa University and a post-graduate certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy from the Denver Family Therapy Center. I am a Level II PACT clinician and specialize in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for trauma, intimacy concerns, and chronic conditions.
