Nurturing Intimate Connections
Our passion is guiding women as they reconnect their minds, bodies, and spirits to reclaim their relationships through a cancer diagnosis, chronic health condition, or life transition.
We provide evidence-based sexual health education, solution-focused interventions, intimacy counseling, and advocacy. Our experienced clinicians meet with clients at our clinic in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and via telemedicine in 40 states and Washington, D.C.

About Intimate Pathways
Sexual Health Is for Everybody, and Every Body
Our society gives us mixed and confusing messages about sex. We often don’t talk openly about it. We know the slang words but not how our bodies work. When we’re young, we’re taught more about making babies than having a healthy and enjoyable sex life. Many parents avoid talking about it, and some people learn about sex from things like pornography, which can give the wrong idea.
At Intimate Pathways, we build a professional relationship with our clients, creating a safe environment for individuals or couples to discuss intimacy, sexual function, and sexuality in the context of challenges like cancer, chronic health issues, and life transitions. In a society filled with mixed sexual messages and unrealistic expectations, we recognize that our bodies undergo constant changes throughout our lives, affecting our sexual experiences as we age.
Our Mission
Empowering women toward reclamation of their mind, body, and intimate relationships.
Our Vision
Creating a community where comprehensive sexual health care is an established component of a woman’s whole-person wellness care.
Our Leadership
Providing Professional, Compassionate Support
Intimate Pathways is led by an all-women Board of Directors.
