Disability, Sexuality & Intimacy

Disability, Embodied Difference & Sexuality

Sexuality does not disappear with illness, injury, or disability. And yet so much of the world, including the world of clinical care, behaves as though it does.

If you are living with a disability, chronic illness, chronic pain, fatigue, or a significant change in physical function, you deserve support that takes your full humanity seriously. That includes your desires, your relationships, your body, and your pleasure.

At the San Francisco Intimacy and Sex Therapy Centers, we approach this work with both clinical depth and genuine understanding. We know how profoundly the body shapes our sense of self, our confidence, and our capacity for connection. We also know how much it matters to work with someone who does not treat disability as a footnote, or as something to work around, but as a real and valid part of who you are.

Together we explore what intimacy, desire, and embodied pleasure look and feel like for you, in the body you actually have. That might mean adapting to a new diagnosis, reimagining what sex and connection can be after a significant physical change, or navigating a relationship where one or both partners are living with disability. It might simply mean finding your way back to yourself after a long time of feeling cut off from your own body and aliveness.

All sessions are available online, making this work accessible regardless of mobility, fatigue, geographic location, or any other barrier to in-person work. You do not have to be able to get to an office to deserve this support.

You are welcome here exactly as you are.
