Why Sexual Health Matters

Sexual health is a vital part of overall well-being. Whether you’re partnered or not, your relationship with your sexuality affects your sense of wholeness. Unfortunately, many people reach adulthood without ever having learned a sex-positive, affirming understanding of their body or desires.

You might be struggling with:
– Low libido or mismatched desire
– Body shame or difficulty with intimacy
– Painful sex or difficulty reaching orgasm
– Religious trauma or societal sexual shame
– Curiosity about kink, gender, or orientation

At Deep Roots, we offer a safe, shame-free space to explore these concerns with skilled, affirming therapists.

About Deep Roots Psychotherapy

We are a collective of experienced therapists who bring diverse identities, lived experience, and clinical specialization to our work. Our team is deeply committed to creating space for healing that is relational, collaborative, and culturally responsive.

Our Specialties Include:

Sex Therapy & Sexual Health

We support individuals and couples navigating low libido, desire discrepancies, erectile dysfunction, sexual pain, difficulty reaching orgasm, shame, kink exploration, sexual identity, and trauma.

Trauma Recovery

We utilize evidence-based modalities like EMDR to help process PTSD, complex trauma, and body-based memory. Our trauma work is paced with care and grounded in cultural humility.

LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy

Our clinicians offer a safe, inclusive space for queer and gender-diverse clients. Several of our therapists bring lived experience within the LGBTQ+ community, providing care that is not only affirming but also embodied and deeply informed.

Addiction and Recovery

We support individuals navigating substance use recovery, integrating it with identity work, spiritual healing, and relational repair.

Neurodivergence-Affirming Care

We provide support for clients with ADHD, autism spectrum traits, and other neurodivergent experiences. Our approach is strengths-based and honors each person’s unique brain and body.

What We Believe

Whether you're seeking help for anxiety, depression, sexual health concerns, or relationship challenges, our goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered. We serve all identities, bodies, orientations, and backgrounds with respect, warmth, and evidence-based care.
