“If we share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can’t survive.”

Welcome — I’m Anastasia Katchan, LCSW, AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist
With 15 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker and 2 years as a certified sex therapist through AASECT, I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and sexual challenges. My work is grounded in compassion, empathy, and a deep belief in each person's capacity to heal and grow.
Sexual concerns like erectile dysfunction, painful sex, difficulty reaching orgasm, and premature ejaculation can feel isolating and overwhelming. These experiences often impact not just your sexual health, but also your emotional well-being, relationships, and self-esteem. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood and supported as we explore these concerns together.
As a certified trauma therapist, I understand how past experiences, especially childhood trauma or difficult relationships, can affect your ability to feel safe, connected, and present during intimacy. Whether you're struggling to trust your body, reclaim pleasure, or feel emotionally safe in sexual connection, I’ll meet you where you are with care and respect.
My approach integrates Sex Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness. Together, we'll work to identify patterns that no longer serve you, build emotional awareness, and develop tools that support healing—both emotionally and sexually.
In our sessions, you’ll find a space to be open and real. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with practical strategies to help you move forward with confidence.
