Description

Sexuality is a taboo topic within the general population, with misconceptions and myths abounding. Mormonism has its own sexual background and history, with sexual shame being a common factor for many of its members. This session has been a popularly attended workshop in the past where attendants have access to the expertise of one of Mormonism’s few AASECT certified sex therapists and her team. Being able to ask questions directly or anonymously in a safe space where these types of topics can be addressed openly is a healing component to the healthy sexual journeys we all deserve and crave.

Natasha Helfer is an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist/Supervisor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 30 years of experience. Her expertise lies in the intersection of conservative religious upbringings and sexuality, specifically in the area of deconstructing internalized sexual shame. She runs a group practice, Symmetry Counseling, where services focus on helping people with religious trauma, reclaiming sexual desire, mixed-faith relationships, coming out journeys, healing sexual shame or trauma, and exploring sexual authenticity.
