Therapy
The goal of our practice is to help you feel better and accept yourself; not just by addressing anxiety and depression and avoiding the things that feel bad but also by engaging with what brings you pleasure, joy and a sense of connection. This can be through an exploration of sexuality or through whatever you find in your life that makes you feel passionate and alive.
In our office, you will find that difference is not just accepted but celebrated. We have a special interest in supporting people through issues related to sexual exploration, sexual functioning, sexual identity and gender identity. You are welcome.
We work with individuals and people in relationships to develop a loving, accepting and kind method of communication with each other. Together we can change behaviors, resolve issues, improve sexual functioning, manage anxiety, depression and other complex feelings and cope better with pain and suffering. Working together is always a unique experience customized to your needs. We have experience using psychodynamic, mindfulness, Imago and cognitive behavioral approaches to therapy and we try to choose the methodology that suits best for the individuals in our office.
We also offer Clinical Supervision. As always, please reach out to learn more.
Sex Therapy
Our licensed, clinical professionals offer a safe and judgment-free environment for individuals and couples to explore their concerns, enhance their connection with their partner or partners, explore their desires, and gain confidence in their sexuality.

ENM Inclusive Therapy
Since 2011, the Pincus Center has been working with people who are in the process of embracing non-monogamous identities whether they be polyamorous, swingers, or just open to multiple sexual partners. We help people of all relationship orientations to make peace with themselves and create harmony in their relationships.
Kink Friendly Therapy
Being kinky doesn’t mean that you need therapy but often kink is something that you would want to be able to talk about in therapy. Many of the kinky clients that we have worked with over the years tell us about going to therapy in the past and never being able to talk to their therapists about who they are.
Gender Affirming Therapy
Gender affirming care doesn’t stop with your primary care doctor. You deserve to be recognized as your authentic self in all areas of your life, especially therapy. Whether you are exploring your own gender identity or just want a therapist with whom you can feel safe, The Pincus Center is the right place for you.
