Ask a Relationship and Sex Therapist!

Have a question?
We’ve got an answer!

Lots of people hesitate to ask sensitive questions. Whether about desire or sex, relationships or boundaries, asking questions about the most personal areas of our life can leave us feeling vulnerable, intimidated, or embarrassed. That’s normal. And while it is normal, it is a problem. Safe, judgment-free curiosity is the crucial first step toward better communication, healthier intimacy, and closer connections.

If you’ve been thinking about asking a question like that, but just haven’t known where to ask, we can help.

Each quarter, our clinicians choose and answer reader questions in the Pivotal Counseling newsletter. You’ll find thoughtful, evidence-informed responses that are shame-free, respectful, direct, and encouraging. You can submit your question anonymously or with a name (we never publish a real names). And if you include your email, we may reach out to gather a bit more information to best answer your question. Either way, asking your questions helps not only you but also helps others feel less alone.

So ask away! We’ll be watching the inbox.

What’s your question?

Why do we require your email and name?
Well, we answer these questions in our newsletter. Including your name and email adds you (or verifies that you are added) to our newsletter mailing list. We will NEVER tie your email to your specific question in our newsletter or answers.
