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

While general talk therapy can be helpful for high-level stress or basic relationship communication, addressing complex issues like sexual pain, desire discrepancies, betrayal trauma, purity culture deconditioning, or non-traditional relationship dynamics (such as kink or ENM) requires dedicated post-graduate expertise. As Doctors of Clinical Sexology and AASECT Certified Sex Therapists, we bring advanced training in somatic embodiment, pelvic health, and systemic frameworks—offering active, body-based tools designed to help you step out of your head and reconnect with genuine pleasure.
