Jeff Goad, MSW, LISW, CST

I am a trauma therapist and an AASECT-certified sex therapist. I take a sex-positive approach as I help people navigate a wide range of complex issues. I believe that everyone deserves a safe and non-judgmental space to talk about the things that matter to them. Some issues I commonly work with are healing from trauma, sexual anxiety, sexual shame, stigmatized sexual identities, fetishes and kinks, relationship communication, healing from infidelity, consensual non-monogamy, gender expression and identity, sexual dysfunctions, out-of-control sexual behaviors, body image issues, self-esteem, and coping with uncomfortable emotions. My approach is collaborative, person-centered, practical, research-based, and solution-focused. I am passionate about helping my clients forge an individualized path forward that works best for them. Also, as a cisgender gay man, I am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and I work with, support, and affirm all gender and sexual identities and expressions. The hardest part of initiating major life change is often the act of reaching out for help. The fact that you are reading this is already an awesome step! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
