Hello! My name is Lina. I am a Hispanic mom from Texas to 3 young adults and a marriage veteran of 20 yrs. My family and I have lived in South Carolina for nearly 4 yrs. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate with the state of North and South Carolina and I specialize in sex and relationship therapy. I possess a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialization in systemic sex therapy and I am a doctoral candidate in the field of Clinical Sexology.
What is sex therapy? It is purely talk therapy between me and each partner in the relationship. Relationships and sexual satisfaction go hand in hand. Sex therapists help you address any sexual/relationship issues when they are impacting, and being impacted by the various issues in your life. I have a deep understanding of how sexual issues, such as being part of a sexual minority group and sexual dysfunctions, such as low libido and erectile dysfunction, cannot only impact all aspects of your life, including your self-worth, but that of your partner’s as well.
I am queer/kink/poly/sex worker affirmative and trained in a variety of methods to help clients gain insight into themselves and their relationships, such as the use of tarot cards in therapy sessions, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing). Call me today! I look forward to working with you to strengthen your most intimate relationships.
