What to Expect from Sexuality Exploration Therapy

What to Expect from Sexuality Exploration Therapy

Exploring your sexuality in therapy is a deeply personal, sometimes nonlinear process — and that’s okay. Whether you’re feeling confused, curious, newly out, or unsure how to name your experience, this work creates space for clarity, freedom, and healing.

In your sessions, you might:

  • Explore attraction, identity, desire, and labels, or release the need for labels altogether

  • Work through internalized shame or confusion from family, religion, or culture

  • Reflect on past experiences that shaped your sexual self-understanding

  • Talk about sex and intimacy in open, judgment-free ways

  • Discover what authenticity means for you in your body and your life

We move at your pace. And we keep it real.

Why Clients Choose Expansive Therapy in Los Angeles for Sexuality Exploration Therapy

At Expansive, clients come to us not because they have all the answers but because they know they deserve a space where asking the questions is welcomed. Many people arrive here carrying years of silence, confusion, or pressure around their sexuality. Whether they’re unpacking early memories, processing shame, or simply trying to feel more at home in their body and identity, they want a therapist who sees all of that as valid and worth exploring.

Clients tell us they feel truly met, not labeled, not pathologized, but supported with curiosity and respect. Our therapists are trained to listen beneath the surface, to name the unsaid, and to help people rebuild trust with themselves. We don’t offer one-size-fits-all answers, we help you find your own.

"Love this practice, highly recommend."

How We Help with Insurance & Billing

How We Help with Insurance & Billing

How We Help with Insurance & Billing

We work with most PPO and POS insurance plans that offer out-of-network benefits. That means you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

We’ll verify your benefits, send you a custom quote, and handle the claims for you. If you’ve been burned by confusing billing or endless forms before, this will feel different. No chasing paperwork, no calling your provider six times. Just care that’s actually accessible.

Rates vary depending on your therapist’s experience, with session costs ranging from $75–$250. We don’t offer sliding scale, but many clients use their insurance to offset cost.
