Dr. Sabrina Coppedge

I am currently not accepting new patients. I anticipate accepting new patients again around October 2026

As one of the country’s few psychiatrists who also practices sex therapy, I can provide unique and specialized services for patients who have been marginalized and oppressed. I offer a combination of sex therapy and medication management, tailored to both your personal and medical needs. While I predominantly follow an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach, I also incorporate elements of psychodynamic psychotherapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed therapy, and supportive therapy. I completed medical school at the Indiana University School of Medicine (2021), and completed psychiatry residency training at University of Chicago (2025).

I treat 18+ individuals, and specialize in treating individuals within any sexual minority group — including members of the LGBTQIA+, trans, gender-expansive, non-monogamous, and kink communities — plus those who participate in unconventional sexual practices. I also treat couples and individuals within various relationship structures (such as triads, polycules, or other non-monogamous relationships).

I aim to provide empathic, non-judgmental care for individuals identifying as sexual minorities. I believe there are millions of ways to be a beautiful, fulfilled sexual being. You know yourself best, and I consider it a privilege to learn more about you. I believe any identity is valid and acceptable, and that you deserve as much pleasure and sexual satisfaction as you could ever want.

I am passionate about dismantling sexual shame and shifting perspectives from a sex-negative view to a sex-positive view. About half of the American population struggles with sexual difficulties in some way, and in any situation where sexual difficulties intersect with sexual minority identity, it can feel impossible to find someone who is accepting or doesn’t push you to be more “normal.” You are a uniquely beautiful person and you deserve to be your full, true self!

During our first visit, I am to understand your struggles as thoroughly as possible. I start with hearing your story in your own words, then perform a complete psychiatric diagnostic evaluation. I do so with all of my patients to be thorough and decrease the risk of missing important information. At the end of the psychiatric diagnostic evaluation, I discuss potential medication options, if you are interested in medication management. If we have time during the first session, I also aim to hear more about your life starting from childhood. In subsequent sessions I gather a full sexual history (if interested in sex therapy).

I am not interested in pushing medications onto anyone who isn't interested. I listen to the person sitting in front of me and do my best to address their most pressing concerns as quickly as possible. I am always open to feedback, and follow a flexible treatment plan.
