Health Care Providers
Many couples face changes in their sexual body function and health throughout their lives. This could be related to transitions after childbirth or due to natural aging, such as menopause. Chronic health conditions, cancer, and the medications used to treat them can also impact intimate relationships.
At Intimate Pathways, we understand that clinical and mental health providers often receive limited training in managing issues of human sexuality. As experienced professionals in sexual health counseling and education, we aim to bridge that gap. We will work alongside you to ensure your patients receive the effective sexual health care they deserve.

We offer direct support to patients through referrals and offer trainings and program development to health care professionals, helping more patients receive holistic, heartfelt, and clinically-sound care.
