sex therapy

I am a sex therapist who specializes in providing collaborative and effective psychotherapy that supports clients through gender and sexuality exploration, relationship and life transitions, deepening intimacy, pleasure, and desire, exploring BDSM/kink, and processing the shame and stigma that can surround such topics.

Diverse Desires provides sex & relationship therapy for individuals and couples. Ruby Bridges Walker, LCSW is an advocate for sex positivity, queer liberation, harm reduction, and every human's right to heal and experience their best possible life.

My practice focuses on the intersections between and around sex, drugs and death. In our families, relationships, culture, and society these topics are frequently met with silencing or shame. You’re invited to offer yourself the space and time to explore how desire and connection, grieving and loss, shame and authenticity show up for you, and how you’d like them to be more integrated. 

I'm an AASECT member pursuing Certified Sex Therapist (CST) licensure at Authentically You Counseling, a practice specializing in queer-affirming and trans-affirming care. My areas of focus include sexual trauma recovery, sexual anxieties, kink, BDSM, ENM, and religious trauma recovery.
