What is sex therapy? What is queer sex therapy?
Sex therapy is a therapeutic intervention primarily focused on intimacy, identity, and a client’s relationship to sex and their body, and “queer sex therapy” refers to our LGBTQIA+ affirming lens. Our team advocates for expansive views of gender, relationship and sexual exploration, and does not gate-keep identity, language, or behavior. You do not need to be in a relationship (or even sexually active) to seek sex therapy. Common reasons people seek sex therapy include:
Desire discrepancy (struggles with sexual compatibility) Sexual trauma Relationship conflict & communication Gender identity exploration and/or transition Gender dysphoria Exploration of sexual orientation including gay, lesbian, asexual, pansexual, queer, and more BDSM and Kink Struggles with orgasm or inorgasmia Overcoming sexual shame and/or religious trauma Non-monogamy Chronic pain and/or sexual pain Body Image General couples or relationship therapy

Can I seek therapy services from any location?
Due to professional licensing requirements, our therapists can only provide therapy services to clients located in the state/s in which they are licensed. Currently, the Expansive Group has licensed providers in Illinois, New York, California, Hawaii, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and can provide therapy services to clients located in these states.
Do you accept my insurance?
We only accept insurance from Illinois residents who have Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO or Blue Choice PPO. To ensure that we are in-network with your insurance, call the number on the back of your insurance card prior to your first session. If insurance does not cover the cost of your sessions, you will be responsible for the full charge.
