Reclaim Your Sexuality
Holistic Sex Therapy for Desire, Shame, and Everything Underneath
Because your sexuality was never separate from everything else — your body, your history, your identity, and your relationships. Sex therapy in Herndon, VA with an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist.
What if sex didn’t have to feel like this?
It's like your body won't cooperate, no matter what you try.
You've spent so long trying to figure out what's wrong with you. Exhausted from performing, managing, hiding. Carrying the weight of feeling like you're failing at something that's supposed to feel good.
Here's what I want you to hear: there's usually a reason your body responds the way it does. When sex, your body, or parts of your identity felt unsafe early on, disconnecting was protection. What helped you survive then is now keeping you stuck — leaving you feeling shut down, anxious, or afraid that being authentic might cost you everything.
You're not broken. Your body makes sense. And there's a way forward.
Sound like you?
You're carrying questions about your sexual orientation, gender, kink, or relationship structure, but saying them out loud feels terrifying.
After sex, you replay everything you did or didn't do, searching for proof that you failed or let your partner down.
You keep parts of your sexuality hidden because the shame of someone actually knowing feels unbearable.
Your body tenses, hurts, or shuts down during intimacy, no matter how much you want to relax into it.
You avoid initiating sex because the pressure to "perform" is overwhelming, or show up physically but check out emotionally.
I’m here to help with…
Low or Absent Sexual Desire
Sexual Identity Exploration (LGBTQ+)
Sexual Trauma & Past Wounds
Performance Anxiety & Pressure
Sexual Shame & Body Image
Kink, BDSM & Non-Monogamy
Mismatched Desire in Relationships
Painful Sex & Body Tension
Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy can help you feel safe, confident, and free in your sexuality.
We start by understanding where this came from — not to assign blame, but so your body's responses finally make sense. That understanding alone tends to bring a lot of relief.
Underneath the shutdown and the shame, there's usually something that's been waiting to be heard. We go there together — without needing to fix it right away.
Slowly, you start to recognize what genuine desire feels like, separate from what fear feels like. You find language for what you need — without the panic and shame that usually follow.
Over time, real trust in your body and your desires becomes possible. Sex becomes something you want to experience, not something to endure.
At the end of the day, I want you to know:
Intimacy can be joyful, safe, and uniquely yours. No Shame. No Pressure.
What we’ll work on
Imagine a life where…
Sex feels like something you want, not something you have to get through. Your body relaxes into pleasure instead of bracing against it.
You feel confident in who you are sexually — without needing to look a certain way or perform a certain role.
When you think about your sexual identity, you feel curious and excited instead of scared and ashamed.
You can be vulnerable during intimacy without your mind racing or your body shutting down. You're actually there.
You can say what you want and need sexually without apologizing. Your desires matter, and you know how to express them.
Your sexuality deserves to exist.
And you deserve support finding your way back to it.

If sex feels stressful, confusing, or disappointing more often than not — that's enough. You don't need a diagnosis or a severe problem to deserve support.
Common things I help with include low desire, pain during sex, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, shame and anxiety, questions about orientation or gender, the impact of trauma on sexuality, and feeling disconnected during intimacy. If any of this resonates, you belong here.
-
No. Sex therapy is strictly a talk therapy process. There is no sexual or physical contact between therapist and client ever. Therapists provide a safe, professional space for discussion, education, and mental-emotional support.
-
I get it. A lot of clients sit down in our first session and say "I can't believe I'm about to say this out loud." You don't have to have it all figured out. We'll go at your pace, I'll help you find the words, and nothing you share will shock me or change how I see you. This is exactly what I'm trained for.
-
I work with people across the full spectrum — vanilla to kink, monogamy to non-monogamy and everything in between. What feels "weird" to you is often far more common than you'd expect. And even if it's not? It still deserves space and curiosity. I'm sex-positive, kink-aware, and LGBTQ+ affirming. My job is to help you explore your sexuality safely and authentically, not to judge it.
-
Not always. Sex therapy is holistic — we look at how your sexuality connects to your emotions, your body, your relationships, your history, your sense of self. Some sessions focus heavily on sex; others might explore attachment, trauma, or identity. Everything is connected, and we follow what's most important for your healing.
-
That fear makes complete sense — especially if you've tried things before that haven't helped. Sex therapy isn't a quick fix, and I won't promise it is. What I can tell you is that when we address the emotional and relational roots of sexual struggles — not just the surface symptoms — the change tends to go deeper and hold up better over time. Some clients notice shifts within a few sessions. Others need more time to undo years of shame, trauma, or disconnection. We'll check in regularly about what's working and adjust as needed. You won't be stuck doing something that isn't helping.
-
Individuals of any gender or sexual orientation. Couples dealing with sexual dissatisfaction. People working through trauma. Anyone exploring their sexuality, gender, or relationship structure. Whether you're currently sexually active or not, in a relationship or single — sex therapy can help you build a healthier relationship with your own sexuality.
-
Not at all. Many people come on their own to explore their personal relationship with sex and intimacy. If you're in a relationship and want to include your partner, that's always welcome — but it's never required.
-
A sex therapist has specialized training, like AASECT certification, in desire, sexual identity, shame, and intimacy — areas most general therapists aren't trained to address directly. Meghan Robinson is an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist in Herndon, VA, meaning she's specifically trained in sexual concerns many talk therapists would refer elsewhere.
-
Meghan Robinson is an out-of-network provider, so she doesn't bill insurance directly, but many clients receive 50–80% reimbursement through out-of-network mental health benefits using monthly superbills. Call your insurer to ask about your out-of-network deductible and reimbursement rate before starting sex therapy in Herndon, VA.
