Samantha Stein

Hi, I’m Samantha, a sex therapist who believes conversations about sex, intimacy, and relationships shouldn’t feel clinical or shame-filled. I show up as a real, grounded human and create a space where people can talk openly, awkwardly, honestly, and without judgment about the things they usually keep to themselves. I work with concerns like desire differences, low libido, sexual anxiety or shame, communication struggles, intimacy concerns, and feeling disconnected in relationships.

My approach is flexible and eclectic. I pull from sex therapy, CBT, trauma-informed work, and relational therapy. I care more about what actually helps you feel less stuck and more like yourself again. I also like keeping things practical and real-life focused. Insight is great, but I’m even more interested in what changes outside the room, like being able to talk to your partner without spiraling, feeling less shame about your body or desires, or not rehearsing conversations in your head for three days before having them.

Our first session is a space for us to slow things down and get a sense of what’s been going on for you. We will start with what brought you in and what has been feeling most difficult lately. Some people come in with a clear issue they want to work on, while others feel stuck, disconnected, anxious, or unsure how to name what is happening. Both are completely okay. We will talk about what you are hoping will feel different in your life, relationships, or sense of self. I may ask questions about relationships, intimacy, communication patterns, stress, anxiety, or sexual concerns if they feel relevant, but you are always in control of how much you share and when.
