Somatic Sex Education
Somatic Sex Education (SSE) and Surrogate Partner Therapy (SPT) are related sexual healing modalities
Surrogate Partner Therapy might be too expensive or time-consuming for your needs right now. That's ok! As of July 2024, I am offering Somatic Sex Education sessions to select clients. I am in the process of completing my training to become a certified Somatic Sex Educator through the Institute for the Study of Somatic Sex Education.
SPT and SSE address many of the same concerns relating to sex and sexuality in ways that prioritize pleasure and consent. However, there are a few vital differences (see table below). SPT focuses on partnership. SPT clients often (though not always) have little to no dating experience and would like to practice all the stages of the lifecycle of a relationship, from getting to know each other through sexual intimacy through saying goodbye amicably. SSE clients also explore and expand aspects of their sexuality but do not need the structure of a partnership or the psychological support of a collaborating talk therapist. You can find more information about SSE here. If you are interested in working with me in an SSE capacity, please fill out my SSE intake form and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you!
Update: Starting in January 2025, my rates for SSE will be $100/hr for zoom sessions and $120-$200/hr (sliding scale) for in-person sessions.
