Stefani Goerlich, PhD, LCSW, CST
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Therapy should be a place where you can speak openly, feel understood, and explore change without judgment. I work with adults navigating life transitions, relationship and intimacy concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and unwanted or problematic sexual behaviors. I also welcome clients whose lives & relationships may not fit conventional expectations, including those exploring BDSM/kink and consensual non-monogamy.
My approach is warm, direct, collaborative, and practical. I want our conversations to feel personal and grounded while helping you understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. As a clinical social worker, and certified sex therapist, I bring specialized knowledge of sexuality, relationships, trauma, and behavior change without reducing you to a diagnosis.
Together, we can clarify what matters to you, strengthen insight and coping skills, and build new habits that fit your values, relationships, and real life.
