Cushing Counseling is a Virginia and Florida-based psychotherapy practice offering sex-positive, trauma-informed therapy for adults and couples. Founded by Vanessa Cushing, LPC, CST, the practice specializes in sexual health, intimacy, and relationship concerns using evidence-based sex therapy approaches.
Services include support for desire and arousal concerns, sexual pain, erectile dysfunction, communication and intimacy repair, identity exploration, and healing from sexual or relational trauma. Care is grounded in attachment theory, mindfulness, and consent-centered practices.
Cushing Counseling is kink-aware and affirming of consensual BDSM, fetish interests, and nontraditional relationship structures, including ethical non-monogamy and polyamory. Kink and alternative sexuality are never pathologized; therapy focuses on consent, communication, integration, and well-being.
The practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and committed to providing a nonjudgmental space where clients do not need to educate their therapist or conceal parts of themselves to receive competent care. All services are provided via secure telehealth to Virginia residents.
