Yes. Legal healthcare licensing laws require that you be physically located within Connecticut state lines at the moment of your telehealth session. Whether you are at home, at work, or traveling within CT, your session is covered under our state licensure.

While general counseling often focuses on high-level talk therapy or surface communication, SWELL Co. offers specialized, doctoral-level sex therapy grounded in clinical sexology, somatic embodiment, and reproductive health.

We don't just facilitate conversation; we give you concrete, body-based tools to help you step out of your head and reconnect with genuine pleasure.
