Our Mission

HOW WE CAME TO BE

San Francisco Intimacy & Sex Therapy Centers were founded with the goal of making the practice of relationship, intimacy, couples and sex therapy & coaching more relationship-focused and accessible, without the stigma and confusion that often accompanies misperceptions about couple and sex therapy. We operate from a shame free paradigm and are sex positive, LGBTQ+, kink and polyam affirming. We believe pleasure and connection are core human needs and a fundamental human right. We have been supporting our community in sex positive attachment based therapy and coaching services for decades.

As a completely BIPOC & LGBTQ+ owned and run business, we have a deep commitment to supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folx. The founders and admin team are all BIPOC and LQBTQIA+. Also approximately 25% of our practitioners are BIPOC and many are LGBTQIA+ and the rest of the team are allies. We believe in collaborating to create safe and supportive spaces for marginalized communities.
