Coral Denny
Phoenix,AZ
Summary
I am a queer, nonbinary, neurodivergent LAC/sex therapist with an education background in trauma-informed sex therapy. I am committed to creating a collaborative space where folx can seek wellness, pleasure, and liberation. I believe in supporting and empowering people in navigating the exploration of gender, sexuality, kink, non-monogamous relationships, intimate relationships, shame free sex and any other situations life has to offer.
Whether you are striving to uncover a more authentic and grounded sense of self, explore new or evolving aspects of your gender and sexual identity, reconnect with your sensuality, strengthen your skills in boundaries or communication, or improve your relationship with yourself or others, I will be a non-judgmental and empowering ally in your process.
