You deserve to feel like your fullest self, both relationally and sexually

Recognize any of this?

If so, you're not broken (and neither is your relationship):

  • Sex happens, but it's never on terms that feel ideal to either of you

  • You've started to feel more like roommates than partners

  • You have the same fight on repeat, like a sitcom episode you know by heart

  • You don't even know what you want anymore (sexually or otherwise)

  • It feels safer to stay quiet than risk another argument

  • You're not sure you've ever fully known your own desire — for sex or the relationship itself

Whatever you’re going through, I can help

Jan Carey, a couples counselor and sex therapist in Maryland

If you've searched for marriage counseling in Maryland or a sex therapist in Baltimore, you've probably noticed plenty of generalists and not many specialists. 

Telehealth means you're no longer limited to whoever happens to have an office near you.

You can choose someone with the extensive training, easy accessibility, and empathetic, no-nonsense personality you desire. Someone, perhaps, like me.

Why I got AASECT-certified (and why you should care)

Most therapists talk around sex. I was trained to talk about it.

AASECT certification means specific, rigorous training in human sexuality that most couples counselors don't have. 

When your therapist is comfortable naming exactly what's going on, you get to stop translating your own experience into vague language. You get to just say the thing.

FAQs about couples counseling in Maryland

  • Yes. I am fully licensed and practicing exclusively via telehealth throughout Maryland.

  • Yes. Telehealth licensing law requires you to be physically in the licensed state at the time of your session. It's not actually about where you live, just where you're sitting when we meet.

  • Yes. I'm licensed in both Maryland and Pennsylvania, so as long as you're in either state during our session, we're fine. Many of my clients move between the two.
