b'Psychologist (clinical and Forensic), Sex Therapist, Sex Addiction Therapist and trained couples therapist. She is a contributor to POOSH, Psychology Today and House of Wise. She is CEO of The Modern Intimacy practice. Modern Intimacy was born out of Dr. Kate Balestrieri\\u2019s recognition that all humans are social and relational beings. As such, mental health is directly tied to the quality of our relationships and sex life. Driven by her desire to smash stigmas about mental health and sexuality, Dr. Kate Balestrieri built a platform that not only connects clinicians trained in sex therapy with people seeking therapy for sexual issues, but also provides a safe, inclusive space for people to get access to education about sensitive topics that people live with every day, related to trauma, relationships, sexual health, any type of sexual dysfunction, sexual activity, and sexual problems.\\nIn her private practice, Dr. Balestrieri works with adults, individuals and couples, primarily around treating trauma, substance abuse and addiction, intimacy disorders (sex/love addiction and sexual dysfunction), eating disorders and body image issues, bipolar disorder, Posttraumatic Stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. Throughout her work, Dr. Balestrieri focuses on helping people build resilience and recovery from what ails them to move from a position of pain or discomfort to one of thriving, holistically in their lives. In that effort, Dr. Balestrieri works with individuals astutely to help mitigate anger management concerns, establish healthy boundaries, build effective communication strategies, and improve relationship patterns.\\nDr. Balestrieri is currently writing several books, including one titled F*ck You, F*ck Me: Rage, Sex and Money in Relationships and Modern Society. This book investigates the relationships people maintain with anger, money and sexuality as a primary defense against relational pain, and how their attempts to stay safe in relationships end up ultimately thwarting their bids for intimacy.\\n\\nPretty Litter: Go to www.PrettyLitter.com and use code inmyheart for 20% off your first order.\\nCare/of: For 50% off your first Care/of order go to www.TakeCareOf.com and enter code inmyheart50.\\nStitch fix: Go to www.Stitchfix.com/INMYHEART for 25% off when you keep everything in your Kids Fix.\\nWondery: Listen to Twin Flames on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, or you can listen ad-free by joining Wondery Plus in the Wondery app.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
