Free Assessment

Welcome! And thank you for your interest in working with Deep Roots Psychotherapy.  The following is a list of 20 questions which is an assessment to determine if you are a good candidate to see a sex therapist.  Sex therapy can sound intimidating but I can assure you that I create a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space that allows the conversations to happen, so you can achieve the goals you are working towards.  
If you answer yes to any of the following, contact me for a Zoom or FaceTime consultation.
