Raven O’Rourke,
AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist
Supporting individuals and people in relationships as they navigate sex, intimacy, and relationship dynamics
You are someone who is used to figuring things out on your own
You’re thoughtful, self-aware, and not afraid to look at things directly. But there’s something you can’t quite think your way through, no matter how much you’ve tried.
You want to understand what’s actually happening and find a way to move forward.
Hi, I’m Raven O’Rourke
AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist
I’m a no-nonsense therapist who works with individuals and people in relationships across a range of identities, orientations, and relationship structures. I often work with LGBTQ+ clients and high-achieving professionals who are navigating sexual concerns, relationship dynamics, or questions around identity and desire.
Much of my work involves conversations that aren’t always easy to have elsewhere. In session, I create a space where we can address those topics directly.
My style is active and engaged. I will listen empathetically, ask questions, and help you make sense of what’s happening as it comes up. My goal is to help you understand your experience more clearly and begin making changes that feel aligned with what you actually want.
How We Can Work Together
Individual Therapy
Focused, one-on-one sessions to help you understand what’s going on, get clear on what you want, and work through it in a more direct way.
Relationship Therapy
For people in monogamous or non-monogamous relationships who want to improve communication, navigate desire differences, and better understand their dynamic.
Clinical Supervision
Support for pre-licensed therapists who want to strengthen their clinical skills, build confidence, and develop a thoughtful, sustainable approach to their work.
Why I Do This Work
In college, I was involved in peer health advocacy, where I was teaching consent and having conversations about sex that many people had never been taught how to navigate. That experience shaped how I think about this work. When people have the language and space to ask for what they want, meaningful change becomes possible.
I’ve always been interested in how people think and how patterns develop. That led me to complete two master’s degrees and train at an HIV nonprofit in New Orleans. I later spent over a decade working with people living with HIV, which had a lasting impact on how I approach therapy. Working with clients in that setting showed me the impact that honesty and vulnerability can have in improving mental wellness.
I care deeply about sexual and reproductive justice and making sure people have access to accurate information. I also believe in creating spaces where people can talk openly without stigma.
I support clients experiencing
Erectile dysfunction and sexual performance concerns
Differences in desire and intimacy challenges
Non-monogamy and polyamory
LGBTQ+ relationships and identity exploration
Gender identity and transitions
Sexless or low-intimacy relationships
Sex and aging
You don’t have to keep avoiding conversations about sex or feeling stuck in the same patterns in your relationship
Together, we’ll look at what’s actually getting in the way so you can talk about what you want more openly, understand what works for you, and start making changes that feel more aligned.
