Welcome!

Hi, I’m Dr. Heather Sexton, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, Certified Sex and Relationship therapist specializing in helping couples reconnect, repair, and thrive—both emotionally and intimately.

Whether you're navigating communication breakdowns, mismatched desire, healing after betrayal, or just feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I provide a supportive space where both partners feel seen, heard, and respected.

My work centers on deepening connection and restoring intimacy. I help couples explore the complex layers of their relationship—emotional, sexual, and relational—so they can move from frustration and disconnection to clarity, compassion, and renewed closeness.

With advanced training in couples and sex therapy, including Imago Relationship Therapy, EMDR, Parts work, and sex-positive frameworks, my approach is integrative, evidence-based, and grounded in the belief that healthy intimacy is possible for every relationship—with the right tools, support, and willingness to grow.

I work with all types of couples—monogamous, non-monogamous, queer, straight, long-term, neurodivergent, newly committed—who are ready to have more honest conversations, explore their sexual and emotional needs, and build a stronger foundation together.

My style is warm, collaborative, growth-oriented, and nonjudgmental. I bring both structure and softness to the therapeutic space, helping couples slow down, tune in, and move forward with greater awareness and intention.

If you're ready to do the work together, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Qualifications: I have earned a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) in Clinical Sexology from Modern Sex Therapy Institutes. I have earned a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development from Lindsey Wilson University. I am a member of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research, West Virginia Counseling Association, Imago Relationships North America, and the American Association for Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. I am currently licensed in Ohio (E.2203103) and West Virginia (No.2785).

As many insurance plans do not cover sexual health diagnosis or relationship therapy, I am only in network with WV Peak, Aetna and United. This does not garauntee your counseling will be covered, please confirm with your insurance I am in your specific network. My services are mostly self-pay, my rate begins at $200 for couples therapy. This is self-pay only as I do not diagnose in couples therapy, the relationship is my client.

I do offer a sliding scale if needed. If cost is a factor impacting your relationship, I do have couples workshops available.
