COMMUNICATION IN THE BEDROOM WON’T RESOLVE ON ITS OWN

Sex Therapy and Intimacy Coaching in Oregon

You thought with time the conflict would iron itself out, communication would improve, and your challenges would ease into a more comfortable pattern.

But they haven’t, and you’re still…

✗ Unsure about voicing what feels pleasurable
✗ Battling the challenges of ED
✗ Juggling mismatched desire levels
✗ Hesitating to ask for something different
✗ Stuck in embedded patterns

Research shows that couples and individuals often don't engage in therapy until two years after they've first identified that they need it.

Why wait?

DEBORAH JOHANSON

Portrait of Deborah Johanson, a dedicated sex therapist and intimacy coach based in Oregon

As a therapist, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Diplomate in Sexology, and have a 2-year certificate in Sex Therapy. I have been practicing for almost 30 years, with a wide range of experience from teaching in graduate programs in universities to working with the court system, in an inpatient hospital unit, ICU, contracting with county and state agencies, and my first love, private practice.

I believe deeply in the healing power of sexuality, the intersection of spirituality, and in each person’s ability to experience pleasure and enhance healing in their lives through intimacy with self, as well as with a significant other. I bring compassion, presence, reflection, intuition, and a trauma informed lens to each interaction.

  • “Deborah was a safe place and trusted person. I appreciate her more than I could ever explain.”

  • “Thank you for all the work we’ve done together. You are so good at what you do. I feel safe and supported and you’ve helped me make so many strides. I really appreciate you.” 

  • The intentional practice in and outside of our sessions helped build connection in our relationship - it felt like a low-pressure, high reward intimacy course. We learned how to have more pleasure-centered sex AND how to communicate more effectively with each other about our wants and needs. We also expanded our views of intimacy and pleasure which has had a lasting impact on our whole relationship.

  • My beloved and I were the grateful recipients of Deborah’s time, attention, and training in an introduction to Buddhist Tantric practice. She explained things clearly and guided us deftly, helping us connect to ourselves, the practices, and one another.

  • “The things you said kept me thinking positive.  Obstacles were thrown at me, and I was able to meditate on what you taught me and well, good results came from it! I try my hardest to never put myself into anxiety situations, or things that will make me more depressed! Thank you so much again! You are the best!”
