The Beloved

Vulva Owners (Female)

A woman’s sexuality is complicated and often stems from powerful messages received as a child from family, media, friends, and religious organizations. Women are supposed to somehow know things that they were never taught or shamed for thinking about. These powerful emotions create insecurity, embarrassment, shame, and isolation leading to challenges with desire, arousal, orgasm or pain as well as complications in relationships. We offer a safe place for women to explore, learn, and challenge the powerful messages that keep them from being their authentic sexual selves. We offer evidence-based, trauma informed treatment for the following concerns:

  • Vaginismus, Vulvodynia, & Sexual Pain
  • Sexual Avoidance
  • Sexual Trauma
  • Lack of Sexual Confidence
  • Anorgasmia
  • Low Sexual Desire
  • Sexual Shame (due to family, religion, STI’s, etc.)
  • Negative Body Image

Penis Owners (Male)

Sexual challenges can be particularly difficult for men and most issues are treatable. Sexual issues often cause mental and emotional difficulties. It can be difficult to navigate the emotions and relationship complexities when it comes to sex. Many received inaccurate or toxic messages about sex growing up that can impact sexual functioning. It can also be difficult to adapt to one’s aging body. 

  • Erectile Dysfunction
  • Premature/Delayed Ejaculation
  • Sexual Shame
  • Low Sexual Desire
  • Low Sexual Confidence
  • Problematic Sexual Behaviors

Couples Therapy

We provide a safe, nonjudgmental place to explore your sexual health challenges such as:

  • Desire Discrepancies
  • Recovery from Betrayal
  • Increase pleasure
  • Improve sexual communication

 

While sexual issues might be our specialty, there is often a need to incorporate other therapeutic modalities to address other relationship challenges that may arise as we explore sexual issues such as communication, emotion management, conflict resolution, or addressing problematic, longstanding patterns of behavior. We use Sensate Focus Therapy as a framework to address sexual issues.  Retreats and intensives are also available as options to do deeper work and progress faster..

“I feel that Dr. Waldron has an incredible balance of observing and instructing while also being both validating and understanding. She probes in a respectful way to help me look inward at the root causes of my anxieties and challenges.”
“I’m in my second year of therapy and can honestly say that it’s been tremendously impactful not only on an individual basis, but also with my partner and others close in my life. Being able to communicate and express myself more skillfully has made me feel empowered with less anxiety.”
“Michele Waldron saved our marriage. We came to the practice at the darkest time in our lives, when we could see no way forward and no hope for the future. Michele gave us the guidance, skills, and tools we so desperately needed to put us on the path to healing and recovery, both as individuals and as a couple.”
