Lauren Graham

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


Hi, I’m Lauren, an LCSW who provides individual sex therapy for adult women through telehealth. I help women who are struggling with low or absent sexual desire, desire differences within relationships, difficulty with arousal or orgasm, painful sex, sexual shame, and difficulty communicating about sex.


You may love your partner and still wonder, “Why don’t I want sex anymore?” You may feel pressured, disconnected from your body, embarrassed talking about sex, or unsure what you even want sexually. These concerns are more common than many women realize, and therapy offers a private, judgment-free place to understand what may be contributing to them.


My goal is not to tell you how often you should have sex or what your sex life should look like. Instead, we’ll work toward helping you better understand your sexuality, identify your needs, strengthen your sense of choice and agency, and create a sexual life that feels authentic and satisfying to you.

Brittany Hamilton

Therapist

Hi, I’m Brittany, a therapist in Virginia. I work with women, men, teens, moms, and couples who are carrying a lot and could use someone in their corner. People come to me feeling anxious, worn down, stuck in a hard season, overwhelmed by early motherhood, or struggling to connect with the person they love.

Therapy with me feels like a real conversation. I’m warm, honest, and judgment-free, and I’ll gently hold you to the goals you set — with a little humor along the way, because healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. You won’t just leave with a space to vent. You’ll leave with practical ways to quiet the noise in your head, calm your body when everything feels like too much, set boundaries that actually hold, and talk through what’s hard instead of swallowing it.

I have specialized training in pregnancy and postpartum mental health, and a deep love for supporting moms through everything that comes with it — the exhaustion, the guilt, the grief, and the question of who you are now. I’m also certified in a relationship program for couples that helps you understand each other’s patterns, communicate without it turning into a fight, and rebuild trust — whether you’re preparing for marriage or working through a rough stretch.

And I’m a military spouse, so I know the rhythm of deployments, moves, and coming home from the inside. Military members and families will find someone here who gets it without needing it explained.

Wherever you’re starting from, you deserve to feel seen. I’d be honored to walk alongside you toward growth, healing, and thriving.
