when is this happening?

Fridays 4:00pm—6:00pm Pacific time. Two hours per group for 8 weeks/16 hours total. Contact us for future group dates. We run these groups as often as they fill up. Initial assessment will help you to determine whether these groups are right for you.

Who is this for?

Couples with low/no sexual desire or frequency, and/or desire discrepancy (in which one partner is more interested in sex than the other) who are interested in enhancing their sexual relationship and ready to embark on a journey to enhance their sexual experiences and relationships.

Two Notes For Our Groups:

1) We include in these groups partners looking for help with current concerns in their sexual relationship and partners looking to prevent problems (aiming to get help before problems occur.

For example cancer patients (before or after surgery), partners who's experience may be altered by medications, folks in gender transition, and others who may have similar needs and are aiming to keep their connection strong) are all welcome.

2) We will be running programs as they fill. If you are interested in joining one of the upcoming groups, let us know.

Personally, I've gone through lots of counseling and therapy and have never met a therapist like Alex Corona. Someone who actually cares and doesn't look at you like dollar signs, she has helped me through the ups and downs. I have been seeing her for three years now and the changes she's made in my life, words cannot explain. Her experience speaks for itself, she has made a huge difference in my life, and I know she can make a difference in yours. I honestly believe she was put on this earth to help people.

I tried four different therapists before I found Alex. I just couldn't connect with anyone until I met her. She is really easy to talk to and just seems to understand me. She's helped me through a lot of issues. I look forward to working through my issues with her because I know she gets it.

Recently one of my children brought to light that she is struggling with some life changing things. Alex came recommended by a specialist and we feel so lucky to have found her! Not only is she helping my child to navigate some really tough things, but she is supporting me, my husband and our other children as we figure out this new normal. She really listens and offers some incredibly insightful advice. We are so happy she's helping our family!

Alex is so easy to talk to. I've been to a couple of therapists and never felt comfortable. As a teen, it's hard to feel comfortable talking to adults. I didn't have that problem with her. She gives really great input on things, and I love her point of view on what I'm experiencing. I would definitely recommend her.

We had the pleasure of having Alex come on as a guest speaker to run our Cultivate Group, and she exceeded our expectations. She was able to create a safe & open space for our community which allowed our ladies to open up and blossom. Her energy was infectious, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her run another event for us. Alex is the best!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us...Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do...It's not just in some of us; It's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Marianne Williamson
