Individual Psychotherapy for Sexual Health & Empowerment
Healing, confidence, and intimacy start with feeling understood.
I help creative, motivated, and open-minded adults feel more at ease in their bodies, reconnect with sexuality and desire, and navigate intimacy and relationship concerns with compassion, curiosity, and science-based support.
As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with individuals experiencing concerns such as low sexual desire, difficulty with orgasm, erectile concerns, ejaculation difficulties, painful sex, sexual shame and performance anxiety, body image concerns, and changes in sexuality related to perimenopause/menopause, health conditions, or life transitions.
Together, we’ll look beyond symptoms to understand the emotional, relational, physical, and cultural factors affecting your sexuality—helping you build confidence, experience greater pleasure and connection, and develop a more empowered relationship with your sexuality.
I provide in-person individual therapy in Princeton, New Jersey, and virtual therapy for adults in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Indiana.

I also help couples navigate differences in desire, sexual communication, and rebuilding intimacy and connection.
My approach is compassionate, affirming, and collaborative, integrating sexual health education with the emotional, physical, and relational factors that shape sexuality. Together, we can work toward greater comfort, pleasure, communication, and connection with yourself and your partner.

Accelerated Therapy Intensives
Gain clarity. Build momentum. Move forward.
Accelerated Therapy Intensives are extended individual and couples therapy sessions for people who want more time to explore a specific concern, understand patterns, and develop a focused plan for change. Longer sessions allow us to work more deeply and continuously than is typically possible in a traditional weekly therapy appointment.
Therapy intensives may be helpful for sexual and relationship concerns, intimacy and communication difficulties, life transitions, recurring emotional or behavioral patterns, or situations where you feel stuck and want dedicated time to understand what is happening and identify practical next steps.
Intensives can also offer greater flexibility for busy schedules. Rather than finding time for multiple weekly appointments, you can set aside a concentrated block of time for therapy—for example, completing three hours of focused work in one week rather than scheduling that time across three separate weeks.
90-Minute Accelerated Therapy
$350 (Individuals & Couples)
A focused extended therapy session designed to help you clarify a specific concern, identify underlying patterns and priorities, and leave with a personalized roadmap for moving forward.
Individuals: Available in person in Princeton, New Jersey, or virtually for adults located in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Indiana.
Couples: Available in person only at my Princeton, New Jersey office.
3-Hour Accelerated Therapy Intensive
$650 (Couples | In-Person Only in Princeton, New Jersey)
A half-day, in-depth couples therapy experience that provides dedicated time to explore more complex sexual, intimacy, communication, or relationship concerns without the time constraints of a traditional therapy session. The extended format allows us to identify patterns, clarify priorities, and develop a personalized plan for moving forward.
About Kim Atwood, LPC, CST
I’m Kim Atwood, a Licensed Professional Counselor and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist with over 20 years of experience helping adults and couples navigate sexual health, relationships, intimacy, and emotional well-being.
My approach is holistic, engaged, collaborative, and creative. I work especially well with thoughtful, creative, and self-motivated people who are curious about themselves and open to trying new ways of thinking, relating, and being. Together, we look not only at relationships with partners and family, but also at your relationship with your body, sexuality, thoughts, emotions, stress, and sense of self.
As a Certified Sex Therapist, I have specialized training in the psychological, relational, physical, and emotional aspects of sexuality. Sex therapy is talk therapy—there is no sexual contact or activity with the therapist—and may address concerns such as low or mismatched desire, erectile and ejaculation difficulties, orgasm concerns, painful sex, sexual shame, body image, intimacy, and sexual changes related to perimenopause, menopause, health conditions, or life transitions.
Rather than viewing sexual concerns in isolation, I consider the whole person and the medical, emotional, relational, cultural, and lifestyle factors that can influence sexual well-being. My goal is to help you better understand yourself and your relationships, feel more comfortable and confident in your body, and experience greater authenticity, connection, pleasure, and sexual satisfaction.
My practice is based in Princeton, New Jersey, where I see individuals and couples in person. I also provide virtual individual therapy for adults located in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Indiana.

Intimacy May Change… But That Doesn’t Mean Your Relationship Is in Trouble One of the more surprising experiences some people report after starting a GLP-1 medication is a temporary decrease in sexual desire.

Letting Go of Resentment in Relationships
Resentment rarely comes from one big rupture. More often, it grows quietly—from moments that didn’t get repaired, needs that weren’t met, and hurts that were carried forward instead of spoken. In long-term relationships, resentment can start to feel permanent. Letting go doesn’t mean pretending the past doesn’t matter. It means learning to stop carrying it…
“Pleasure Is the Measure”: When Women Speak Up About Pleasure
Emily Nagoski’s phrase “pleasure is the measure” is such a simple reminder and it’s a total game changer. Instead of focusing on whether sex follows the “right” sequence or looks like what you’ve seen in media, it centers the only thing that actually matters: Does it feel good for the people involved? When pleasure becomes the measure, sex…
