Certified Sex Therapist & Intimacy Coach

Heather Shannon | Certified Sex Therapist
Name of Primary Practitioner
Heather Shannon, LCPC
Business Excerpt
I love helping individuals, couples and polycules get the spark back in their love life. If sex has become a chore or a point of contention in your relationship, don't let it fester!

My signature Pathway to Passion method helps take you from low or no desire to feeling connected to your sexual energy and passionate again. My work focuses on a holistic approach to intimacy that will allow you to feel closer to your partner(s) again.

I especially love working with folks who are on a journey to find their authentic sexuality and sexual expression.

I personally identify as kinky. About half my caseload is queer and I work with sex worker clients and partners in various stages of exploring ENM dynamics. I also work almost entirely with neurodivergent clients. Don't worry, I can keep up with your non-linear ways ; )

I'm licensed as a psychotherapist in Illinois and practice as an intimacy coach with clients all over the country. As a coach, I do not diagnose anything, provide medically necessary treatment or work with insurance. Sessions and packages can be customized to your goals, schedule and budget.

I'm trained in Gottman Couples Counseling, Internal Family System and mindfulness. I am a Certified Holistic Health Coach and authorized as a Meditation Guide. I host a top 1% podcast call Ask A Sex Therapist. Check it out to get a better sense of my personality and approach. People typically tell me I'm genuine and make sex rather approachable. My sex therapy supervisor told me my superpower was helping people get rid of shame and stigma around sexuality.

I'd love to help you have the sex life you truly want! The next step is to reach out and book a free intimacy breakthrough call via my website.
