Rachel Zar, PhD, LMFT, CST, is an individual and couples therapist—and an AASECT-certified sex therapist. Rachel knows that sex and relationships can be among the most difficult topics to talk about, so she strives to create a safe, non-judgmental space for these intimate and essential conversations. Her integrative approach is both warm and direct; it’s both creative and based in current therapeutic and medical research. She believes that collaboration is the key to success, so she meets clients where they are and works with them to access their unique strengths and empower them to reach their goals. While all sexual or relational concerns are welcome in Rachel’s office, her primary focus is treating those experiencing sexual functioning issues including painful sex, difficulty with orgasm, or low or diminished libido. She also helps clients understand and free themselves from relationship or dating patterns that are no longer serving them. She is trauma educated and informed. For clients working on general anxiety, major life transitions, or other relational issues, she offers a sex-positive and sex-inclusive approach.. She is an LGBTQ-, kink-, and poly- affirmative clinician.
