About me

Inez Cordoba, LICSW, CST, is a certified sex therapist specializing in couples therapy, sex therapy, and relationship coaching. Inez utilizes a trauma-informed and patient-centric approach, with a strong emphasis on curiosity, play, boundaries, and ethics. She is committed to helping couples rediscover connection, resilience, and a renewed sense of aliveness.

Inez believes that the most effective therapeutic work stems from finding the balance between autonomy (self) and attachment (others). She has a background in expressive arts, group therapy, wilderness therapy, and recovery.

Inez is passionate about deconstructing heteronormative and socially constructed ideals of pleasure, play, eroticism, and connection. She offers a safe space for individuals to discuss and explore these themes, while receiving the benefits of personalized, private practice therapy.

Inez resides in Western Massachusetts with her spouse and two dogs.  She is dedicated to creating a friendly and welcoming therapy practice, and explicitly welcomes LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC individuals. She is the host of the podcast, Welcome to Being Alive.

Mission Statement

Mission Statement −

“For me, it all comes down to curiosity.”

Life can be both traumatic and beautiful, full of suffering and awe. It is with this understanding that I approach, with great respect and care, the vulnerable and important themes of attachment and sexuality.

I specialize in helping motivated adults overcome relationship and sexuality challenges. All genders, sexualities, and relationship configurations are welcome. LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC individuals are explicitly encouraged to seek my services.
