Sophia O'Connor | MA, LPC, CST

I provide culturally sensitive, sex-positive therapy to individuals and couples in Denver and 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. Understanding one’s sexuality and owning it, permitting it to express itself fully, leads to a more pleasurable, assertive, and fulfilling life.

 

My therapy approach emphasizes the importance of pleasure and 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.

Stella Rath | MA, LPC

I bring over a decade of experience as a sex and relationship therapist, helping individuals and couples navigate intimacy, communication, and connection. My work supports clients in reconnecting with themselves and each other through compassion, awareness, and honesty.

​

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. My work is holistic and embodied—rooted in the belief that healing relationships with self and others opens the way to deeper confidence and connection.

Matty Phelps | MA, MFT-C

I believe that what is most healing about good therapy is the opportunity for client and therapist to foster genuine intimacy with each other. Clients often tell me that my pace is slow and deliberate. Slowness, in my experience, is what helps bring emotion alive. I enjoy helping clients form deeper access to their emotional worlds, understand why certain emotions have felt unsafe to explore on their own, and exist more freely and openly in their relationships.


While I work with a wide range of people, my area of specialty lies in the LGBTQ+ community. As a gay man, I have found deep meaning in my work with other gay men as well as with queer couples and relationships.


I received my Master’s Degree in Couple and Family Therapy from the University of Colorado Denver. I have done training in attachment-based modalities, including Emotionally Focused Therapy and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. I also have experience and training in culturally responsive sex therapy.
