Counseling that gets pelvic pain

Pelvic pain doesn’t just affect your body.

LET’S BE REAL

Having pelvic pain enter the scene is tough. Whether you’re knee-deep in pelvic PT, awaiting yet more test results, or chasing answers and treatments, it all takes a toll. Maybe pelvic pain is:

…derailing your sex life and putting strain on your relationship.

…making you work overtime just to function. You’re just about holding things together, but you’re beyond exhausted.

…messing with your moods, making you lose faith in your body, and leaving you worrying about the next flare-up.

…leaving you feeling increasingly alone. You’re shrinking into yourself and hiding the pain, not because friends and family don’t care, but they just don’t get it, and conversations where they’re missing the mark leave you feeling worse not better.

Here’s how therapy that understands pelvic pain can help

Therapy can’t eliminate pelvic pain. But it can give you a place to actually exhale and find steadier ground. A place where you can talk honestly about how hard and stressful pelvic pain is — physically, emotionally, relationally — and be met with real empathy (spoiler alert: even if you’ve not secured a diagnosis and your test results are coming back normal, you’re not imagining things or being dramatic).

Together, we’ll make sense of what’s happening in your body and how it’s impacting your life. We’ll hold the grief, the frustration, the decision fatigue, the ‘why me?’. We’ll talk through the pressure to keep functioning, the exhaustion of life feeling in limbo, the fear of another disappointing doctor’s visit, and anything else on your mind.

It is also a space to reclaim your power. To reconnect with your voice and agency, and untangle your feelings around treatment options with someone who have worked with PTs and other medical professionals for years and actually understands what they’d entail. You’ll be empowered to move forward with greater clarity and emotionally resourced to navigate it all.

Absolutely not! While pelvic pain can have very real impacts on your life, therapy is a place for all of you and nothing is off-limits.
As a certified sex therapist and licensed marriage and family therapist, I’m trained to look at the whole picture — your relationships, your identity, your stressors, your past, and the systems you’re navigating.
You don’t need to see multiple therapists for different pieces of your experience. If it’s on your mind, it belongs here.

I do not accept insurance. Insurance companies only cover mental health services that are medically necessary, but they don’t allow therapists to list chronic pain, sex-related issues, or relationship distress as acceptable diagnoses.
Insurance companies also regularly audit files, requesting clinical notes, assessments, and other documentation that may prove therapy sessions are medically necessary. There is always a risk that after initially approving and paying for sessions, the insurance company may decide to audit a client’s file and determine the treatment wasn’t medically necessary and demand payments be returned. Leaving the client to pay the balance in full.
Though clients and doctors would argue therapy sessions are medically necessary, insurance companies disagree or believe clients should be “fixed” after a limited number of sessions. This model no longer reflects modern therapy practices. I would rather my clients determine what therapy looks like than insurance companies.
