You’re Not Alone in This

Whether you're experiencing communication breakdowns, emotional distance, or conflict that feels unsolvable, you’re not alone.

Relationships can be both beautiful and challenging—and sometimes, we all need help navigating those complexities. That’s where we come in.

Our Approach: Culturally-Aware, Emotionally Grounded

At Newton Couples and Sex Therapy, we recognize that our emotional histories—grief, joy, trauma, culture, identity—come with us into our most intimate moments.
Whether in the bedroom (or the kitchen… or the couch), we help you explore how those layers shape your connections, desires, and challenges.

Joey’s lived experience as an immigrant and woman of color enriches her therapeutic approach, allowing her to thoughtfully address intersectionality and the unique relational dynamics that clients bring into therapy.

Personalized Therapy for Real-Life Complexity

Every session is grounded in:

  • Empathy and cultural sensitivity

  • A commitment to meeting you where you are, emotionally and relationally

  • The understanding that therapy is not one-size-fits-all

We tailor each experience to your unique story—
whether you’re:

  • An individual seeking clarity

  • A couple striving to reconnect

  • Or partners navigating intimacy in a respectful, nonjudgmental space

Common Relationship Challenges We Help With

Relationships are complex, and no two partnerships are exactly alike. At Newton Couples and Sex Therapy, we support individuals and couples facing a wide range of challenges—whether you're in crisis, seeking reconnection, or simply wanting to deepen your bond.

Common issues we work with include:

  • Communication breakdowns and emotional disconnection

  • Trust issues, including infidelity and rebuilding after betrayal

  • Mismatched libidos or differing sexual needs

  • Parenting conflicts and co-parenting stress

  • Cultural or religious tensions within partnerships

  • Major life transitions like moving, grief, or career changes

  • Navigating open relationships, polyamory, or ethical non-monogamy

  • LGBTQIA+ affirming care for diverse identities and experiences

Whatever brings you here, you’re not alone. We’ll help you unpack harmful patterns, build new ways of relating, and move toward connection, empathy, and growth—not perfection.

What to Expect from Couples and Sex Therapy

Taking the first step can be the hardest. From the moment you reach out, we make the process as supportive and transparent as possible.

Here’s what working with us looks like:

  • A free phone consultation to answer questions and determine fit

  • Collaborative sessions grounded in your story, needs, and pace

  • Evidence-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and integrative sex therapy

  • A safe space to explore challenges without judgment

  • Respectful attention to both individual and shared experiences in couples work

In sex therapy, you’ll never be asked to do or share more than you’re comfortable with. There is no physical contact—ever. Instead, we offer compassionate dialogue, education, and practical tools to help you feel more at ease and connected—in and out of the bedroom.
