Sexuality is personal, powerful, and often shaped by silence, shame, or social pressure. My approach to sex therapy is grounded in the belief that people deserve warm, skilled, and non-judgmental support as they navigate the complexities of their erotic, relational, and embodied lives. I work at the intersection of clinical care, pleasure-based sex education, and community healing, offering clients a space to reconnect with their bodies, their desires, and their values.
Mission
If Kira Lee Sex Therapy (KLST) is successful, it will help build a world where:
-
High-quality, sexual health services are accessible regardless of income or identity.
-
All workers are resourced, valued, and able to live full, autonomous lives.
-
Sexuality is understood as a diverse part of our complex identity, not something to be hidden or pathologized.
-
Care is community-supported, financially transparent, and built on mutual trust—not gatekeeping or shame.
At KLST, we are building a model of sexual healthcare that centers consent, connection, and collective care.
Values
Sex Positive
Pleasure, desire, and sexual expression are normal, diverse, and deserving of respect. There is a wide and beautiful range of bodies, identities, relationships, and sexual behaviors—and this diversity is something to celebrate, not fear. The shame perpetuated by sex-negative culture causes far more harm than any consensual form of sexual expression.
​
Consent & Autonomy
Everyone deserves the right to make informed, non-coerced choices about their body, identity, and relationships. Consent is an ongoing, imperfect process—fueled by a mutual desire for safety, trust, and agency for all bodies, in all contexts.
​
Diversity is the Norm
Human diversity is one of our greatest strengths as a species. I hold the dialectic that our diversity is simultaneously boring in its typicality, and to be celebrated as profound as it creates endless potential and adaptive change for us. I work to honor the full spectrum of ways that gender, sexuality, bodies, neurotypes, relationships, and ways of being create unique and yet typical expressions of individuality.
​
Science + Care
Good therapy is rooted in evidence-based tools and delivered with warmth, humor, and real human connection. Clinical rigor and compassionate presence belong together. I work to stay connected to both evidenced-based methodology and community while also nurturing my ability to be with and connect to people.
​
Anti-Oppression Lens
All of us exist at the intersection of privilege and oppression. I actively examine my social location and work to reduce harm that I either directly or passively cause. I work to be aware of oppression within larger systems of inequity, unconscious bias, and the spheres in which I have the ability to influence. I imagine and move towards the experience of and belief that liberation is the birthright of all bodies. This belief fuels my desire to understand and disrupt oppression within my capacity.
​
Accountability is Connective
Mistakes are inevitable—how we respond to them matters. I believe in compassionate accountability as a relationship-strengthening practice.
​
Financial Transparency
Talking openly about money reduces shame and builds trust. I believe in clarity around what care costs, how resources are shared, and how labor is valued. At KLST, financial transparency is part of collective care.
