Compassionate, expert support for intimacy, desire, and sexual wellbeing
I’m Aaron Leo, a Licensed Professional Counselor and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist serving clients in Denver and across Colorado, in person and via telehealth. I work with individuals and couples of all identities and relationships, including LGBTQ+ partners, to navigate the concerns that feel too vulnerable or too complicated to talk about anywhere else.
I’m in-network with United, Kaiser, Anthem BCBS, Cigna, Aetna, and more.
What is possible with Sex Therapy
Sexual concerns are common, treatable, and nothing to be ashamed of. I regularly help Denver-area clients with:
Low or mismatched desire — when you and your partner want different things, or when desire has faded and you’re not sure why.
Erectile difficulties and performance concerns — addressing the psychological and relational factors that medical treatment alone often misses.
Painful sex and arousal concerns — for people of all bodies, often in coordination with your medical providers.
A sexless or disconnected relationship — rebuilding intimacy and communication when sex has stopped or never felt right.
Sexual identity, orientation, and exploration — affirming support for understanding yourself more fully.
Healing after sexual trauma — reclaiming agency over your body and sexuality at a pace that honors your process.
Intimacy and sexual health in long-term relationships — including specialized support for adults and seniors maintaining connection over time.
If something here resonates — or if you simply have a sense that something isn’t quite right — therapy can help.
My approach to sex therapy
Rather than treating sexual concerns as problems to be diagnosed and fixed, my approach recognizes that sexual distress often reflects a disconnection between your authentic self and the messages culture has handed you about sexuality, gender, and intimacy. What gets labeled a “sexual problem” is frequently your psyche’s intelligent response to limitations that don’t fit who you actually are.
Your sexuality isn’t a malfunction to repair. It’s a fundamental part of being human — one that deserves to be understood, explored, and honored.
In our work together, we’ll deconstruct the conditioning that no longer serves you while building a clearer, more personal understanding of your values, desires, and boundaries. For some clients that means resolving a specific concern. For others it’s a broader journey toward confidence and connection. Every path is tailored to you.
As a male, Denver-based certified sex therapist, I offer a private, judgment-free space — in person at my Denver office or by secure telehealth anywhere in Colorado.

Your Questions, Answered
-
A sex therapist serves as your guide in exploring the aspects of sexuality and intimacy that matter most to you. Through evidence-based approaches, I help you identify areas where you might feel stuck or disconnected, then work collaboratively to develop strategies for growth and healing. This might involve addressing specific sexual concerns, deepening emotional intimacy, or exploring aspects of your identity. Each therapeutic journey is uniquely tailored to your circumstances while drawing from proven methodologies that have helped others facing similar challenges.
-
Anyone and everyone. Sex therapy is for all people and relationships. The only requirement is a genuine desire to grow and develop a healthier relationship with your sexuality. Whatever issue you bring to the therapy room, my approach is to help you find greater satisfaction and healing. Since sexuality is a fundamental aspect of human experience, anyone can benefit from exploring these dimensions of their life in a supportive environment.
-
If you have a sense that something isn't quite right with your sexual life or intimate relationships, therapy can be invaluable. This work isn't reserved only for trauma survivors or those experiencing sexual dysfunction—it's a space for anyone seeking to understand themselves more deeply and create more fulfilling connections. Sexuality touches every aspect of our human experience, and therapy can help address the various obstacles that prevent us from thriving both individually and in relationship with others.
-
Sex therapists are licensed mental health professionals bound by state licensing boards and professional ethical standards, with advanced clinical training and specialized certification in human sexuality. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and a Certified Sex Therapist trained through the Modern Sex Therapy Institute. The coaching industry, by contrast, has no standardized training requirements or regulatory oversight. When you’re seeking support for something as personal as intimacy, it matters that your provider is licensed, accountable, and clinically trained.
-
Absolutely. Individual therapy provides an excellent foundation for exploring personal concerns, past experiences, and individual growth goals. Many of the challenges we face in our sexual and intimate lives are deeply personal and benefit from private exploration. Even if you're in a relationship, individual work can be incredibly powerful for creating positive changes in your relationship dynamics and developing tools for bringing greater healing and connection to your partnership.
-
Low libido can stem from numerous factors—medical conditions, psychological patterns, relationship dynamics, or a combination of these elements. The therapeutic process begins with understanding the unique factors contributing to your situation, then developing targeted approaches to address them. This might involve exploring emotional blocks, addressing relationship patterns, coordinating with medical professionals, or examining how stress and life circumstances impact your sexual energy. Each situation is approached individually to create solutions that work for your specific circumstances.
-
I treat many sexual dysfunctions for penis and vagina owners. While medical interventions are helpful, therapeutic work typically focuses on understanding the psychological and emotional factors that may contribute to various sexual concerns. This includes pain and performance issues, and exploring and developing practical techniques for managing arousal, pleasure and addressing any underlying relationship dynamics that might be impacting your sexual confidence and comfort.
-
Since you spend only one hour per week in therapy out of 168 total hours, extending the work beyond our sessions often enhances progress significantly. For individuals, this might involve mindfulness practices, journaling, or specific exercises designed to increase body awareness or emotional connection. For couples, structured activities and communication exercises are typically essential for building new patterns and achieving desired changes in the relationship.
-
Differing sexual appetites between partners is a very common issue addressed in sex therapy. The reality is that no two people will have identical sexual desires, and this gap can often lead to resentment, confusion, and conflict when not openly discussed. However, sex therapy provides a supportive space for couples to explore these differences with compassion, developing creative strategies to foster intimacy and satisfaction that honors both people's authentic needs without forcing one partner to simply accommodate the other. The goal is to transform mismatched desires into an opportunity for deeper understanding and a more sustainable, fulfilling intimate connection.
-
Men can benefit from sex therapy whenever they have questions or concerns about their sexual identity, intimate relationships, or personal fulfillment. This therapeutic approach addresses far more than sexual performance—it explores who you are as a complete person and how you connect authentically with others. In today's complex cultural landscape, men often face unique pressures around masculinity, emotional expression, and intimacy that can create barriers to genuine connection and sexual satisfaction. Therapy provides a supportive environment to navigate these challenges and develop a more integrated sense of self.
