Sex, Trauma, & Couples Therapy serving Bethesda, Maryland

Our Approach

At Joanne Bagshaw & Associates, we offer feminist-informed systemic sex and trauma therapy for individuals and couples in Bethesda, Maryland, who want to strengthen intimacy, improve communication, and feel more aligned in their relationships. In busy, achievement-focused communities like Bethesda, it’s common for emotional and sexual connections to take a back seat to daily demands. Overworking, perfectionism, hyperindependence, and stress can all trigger trauma.

Our approach looks beyond surface concerns to understand how relationship dynamics, personal history, stress, and cultural expectations influence your experience of intimacy. We work with you to identify patterns, increase emotional awareness, and build more meaningful, connected relationships.

Our goal is to support you in creating a sex life and relational experience that feels more satisfying, grounded, and true to who you are.
