Danielle Crotty
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Certified Sex Therapist
As a Sex Therapist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I recognize the struggles our clients bring to session with them. Whether they’re struggling to talk about sex, having challenges with desire, reporting problems with sexual connection to their partner, experiencing erectile dysfunction, having sexual pain, reporting infidelity, or undergoing any LGBTQIA concerns, my goal is to help make our sessions feel comfortable and safe to be able to explore what the client needs.
I offer different approaches based on the clients’ needs. With some clients I use more of a solution focused approach (goal-oriented), while other clients need something a bit slower to help them process through their emotions and current situation. I design my sessions uniquely off of what I think would be best for that specific client(s) and their presenting issues.
As someone who grew up in a sex positive household, I see the benefits in being able to have that open, non-judgemental conversation. I see the need for people to connect with themselves in order to be able to know how to connect with their partner. I am here to help clients see how normal their situation is, reduce their shame, strengthen that connection, and create intimate experiences.

“All around a very positive experience with Danielle. I came in somewhat skeptical of therapy but felt it was needed for the situation I was in. Over the course of a few months and multiple sessions I noticed change both personally and professionally. She helped me to develop tools to acknowledge and work through my divorce that have made me a better listener and overall communicator. I’m happy to have worked with her and really appreciated her approach.”
