Lessey Wentworth, MA, LPCC, Certified sex educator (she/her)

I grew up in an environment that required me to live outside of my body. It was not safe for me to be me, or for me to have the feelings I was having, so I didn’t. I repressed my anger, fear and desire for many years, which ultimately put me into a state of intense and unmanageable chronic pain. Through my own healing journey of listening to and befriending my body and it’s wisdom, I learned that even when coming back to my body was uncomfortable, it was the medicine that helped liberate me from painful emotional patterns. Contacting and feeling the intense rage, despair, fear, joy, desire and passion that was trapped inside of me for so long, woke me up to a freedom and aliveness than I had never known was possible.

I believe that to awaken more fully to aliveness, wellness and pleasure, we must first learn to listen to and communicate with our bodies. I would love to assist you in learning the language of your body so that you may unlock your innate emotional wisdom, transform painful patterns, uncover authenticity, cultivate vitality and begin to create a life in alignment with your highest values and deepest desires.

I am a queer somatic psychotherapist, certified sex educator and bodyworker. My approach is holistic and inclusive, with a deep knowledge of how our minds and bodies are inseparable. I am passionate about sexual and erotic liberation for everyone. I specialize in queer exploration, sexual exploration and wellness, healing religious trauma, self-empowerment and intimate relationships. I love co-creating an open minded and non-judgmental space with my clients to traverse the inner weaving of their relationship to self, body, and others. I do this using somatic methods, mindfulness, nature connection, authentic expression, internal family systems and more. I am trauma informed, gender affirming, queer celebrating and sex and kink positive.

My Master’s degree is from Naropa University in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling. I am a certified sex educator through EDSE (Everyone Deserves Sex Education) and have finished parts A and B of the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) MDMA assisted therapy program. I also spent two years studying with relationship expert, Julie Colwell PhD, at the Evolutionary Power Institute in Boulder, CO. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 15 years working in the field of massage, movement rehabilitation and physical therapy. I am a teacher, dancer, witch and lover of nature and I would be honored to walk with you on your healing journey.

If you feel like there is more of yourself to uncover, if you are longing to feel more at home and alive in your own body, or if you simply want to feel more connected to your authentic self, please reach out.
