ABOUT

Sex therapist in the Denver, Colorado area who work with individuals and couples to navigate through intimacy & relationship obstacles.

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 an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist & relationship counselor, trained in the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT), and the Queer Developmental Model.

MY TRUSTED COLLEAGUES

Amity Stiffer | MSW, LCSW, CST

Sex and intimacy work has stayed at the center of my practice for almost thirty years. I work with individuals and couples who are ready to look honestly at what's not working, whether that's a pattern of conflict, a trauma that keeps resurfacing, or a sexual life that's gone quiet.

I believe every session should move you closer to something concrete and aligned with your goals. I lean on EMDR and trauma-focused methods for clients working through PTSD or sexual trauma, and on Gottman-based tools for couples untangling conflict. My style is practical and down-to-earth.

I work with clients navigating out-of-control sexual behavior,sex addiction, sexual abuse recovery, mismatched or low desire, and the everyday sexual concerns individuals and couples experience. My practice is sex-positive and kink-friendly, and I support clients exploring sexual and gender identity, as well as polyamory and ethical non-monogamy.

I received my Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan (LCSW). I am an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist (CST) and trained in EMDR, the Gottman Method, and trauma-focused therapy. My work is focused around helping clients build the practical skills and self-understanding which lead to lasting change.

Noelle Weinert | MA, LPC

I work with individuals and couples through the lens of attachment and relationships, helping people understand not just what is happening, but why—and how to build something more secure. Sex and intimacy can be some of the hardest things to talk about, and I aim to make those conversations feel easier. I meet you where you are and walk beside you with honesty and care.

My approach is rooted in person-centered principles. Real change happens most readily in an environment that feels warm, safe, and judgment-free. Therapy with me is collaborative, direct, and genuinely human—grounded in the belief that growth happens at the intersection of compassion and clarity. With couples, I help partners look beneath repetitive cycles of conflict to the deeper needs and fears driving them, allowing for a more honest, lasting reconnection.

I work with people of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures. Whether you are navigating mismatched desire, low libido, pain during sex, sexual shame, betrayal, trauma, or old relational wounds, my goal is to help you feel truly understood first, and to work toward change from there.

I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University and a Master’s in Education and Technology from Western Governors University. Trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and EMDR, and currently pursuing certification as an AASECT sex therapist, I weave trauma-informed, attachment-focused tools together to help you build deeper intimacy.
