Integrative Sex + Relational Therapy
Bria Tavakoli is a sex and relationship therapist in Boulder, Colorado
Feeling disconnected in love, sex, or relationships?
You’re in the right place.
From the outside, you look like someone who has it together. Your personal life tells a different story:
You show up for work, your family, and friends with a smile. But behind closed doors, something feels off. Disconnected. Like you’re going through the motions in what are supposed to be your most intimate moments. Despair and resentment are creeping in.
Maybe you’re carrying something heavy around sex and love that you’ve never quite had the right words for. Perhaps it’s been this way for ages, or something shifted recently. Either way, you’ve had enough and are ready to make changes. Thoughts like these flicker through your head:
I love my partner. So why does being with them feel so lonely?
Sex used to feel so good. Now it just feels like pressure and performance. What the hell happened?
I don’t even know what I want anymore. And/or: Did I ever actually know what I wanted?
I know something from my past is impacting this part of my life. I just don’t know how to deal with it.
I want more. I want to want more. I want better for myself. For us. I have no idea how to get there.
We keep having the same fight. Nothing changes. Our communication needs work.
Can I be true to myself and stay in this relationship? Is that even possible? Or…
I know I need to break this thing off. But how?
That psychedelic experience showed me some big things that I cannot unsee. Now what?
You and your partner want different levels of sex and/or emotional closeness. A libido mismatch is creating tension and distance.
You keep replaying the same relational patterns on a now-dreaded repeat. Different person, same story. You can see it happening and still can’t stop it. it’s exhausting!
Maybe you and your partner want different things sexually, emotionally, or both. The gap between you keeps widening. Neither of you knows how to talk about it without it becoming a fight. Or a loud, uneasy silence.
Communication issues and power struggles keep showing up in your relationships, you’re stuck, and nothing you try seems to help.
Sex feels complicated after trauma, shame, or religious conditioning, or in the midst of life transitions.
Intimacy feels complex, loaded, or just…absent. Whether it’s shame, past experiences, a life transition, or simply losing the thread, you’ve lost your way and are not sure how to find your way back.
You’re a woman seeking deeper self-worth, agency, and relational empowerment.
You’re a man craving more intimacy, plus more emotional range and self-expression, but don’t know where to start. You’re feeling boxed in, maybe even suffocated, by what society tells you it means to be a man.
You’re dealing with what’s often called “sex addiction” or compulsive sexual behavior, and want support that’s relational, practical, and shame-free.
You feel unseen, lonely, and misunderstood in your relationships. You feel miles away even when you’re right next to each other.
You’re going through the motions in your relationship. The love is still there, but the aliveness isn’t. You want it back. You miss feeling genuinely close.
Intimacy feels vulnerable in a way that doesn’t feel safe, much less authentically enjoyable. Being truly seen: emotionally, physically, spiritually, brings up something that’s hard to name, and even harder to let in.
A psychedelic experience opened something meaningful, and you want help integrating into your day-to-day life it in ways that actually matter.

You’re struggling with something in sex, love, and intimacy.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Sex and relational therapy can support and guide you when:
Sex and relationships feel challenging and complicated,
You’re ready to release shame,
You’re longing to reclaim authentic connection and true desire,
You know boundaries are your friend, yet you struggle to know your boundaries, much less set and hold them,
You’re ready to experience joy, delight, and pleasure in your relationship/s.
You’ve been to therapy before and made some real progress. Now you’re looking for a supportive, non-judgmental therapy space that’s sex-positive, LGBQTIA+ affirming, supportive of all relational structures, kink-aware, and sex-worker-friendly.
