Sex & Intimacy Therapy
Sex and intimacy therapy at Homebody Psychotherapy is about more than just exploring desires, needs, and boundaries—it’s about creating a space where you can connect with yourself and others in ways that are free from the weight of judgment and shame. My approach explicitly and intentionally de-centers whiteness and white supremacist ideology and practice. These systems have long distorted our understanding of sex, intimacy, and pleasure, particularly for those of us holding marginalized identities. Here, we challenge those narratives and prioritize liberation, joy, and authenticity.
As someone with lived experience as a sexual assault survivor and sex worker, I bring a unique, nuanced understanding to this work. My practice is proudly pro-hoe, sex-worker, and kink-affirming. I believe that every person has the right to define what intimacy and pleasure mean on their own terms. Whether you’re navigating shame, unlearning internalized oppression, or exploring desires you’ve never had space to name, this work is rooted in a deep respect for your autonomy and individuality.
For queer BIPOC, this therapy is also about reclamation—of our bodies, our stories, and our right to experience pleasure and connection free from the legacy of colonialism and systemic oppression. It’s a space to honor the ways our cultural and ancestral wisdom can guide us toward deeper intimacy and healing, challenging the dominance of Western frameworks that often erase or stigmatize our truths.
At Homebody Psychotherapy, you’ll find a space where your experiences, identities, and boundaries are celebrated, not pathologized. Whether working solo or alongside partners, we’ll center curiosity, consent, and imagination to help you feel more at home in your body, relationships, and authentic self at a pace that feels most accessible for you. This isn’t just therapy—it’s an act of resistance, and a showing of care that you’ve always been entitled to. Contrary to what you’ve been made to believe.
TRaining & Education:
Keanu is currently completing his training with the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy’s Sex Therapy Certificate Program, with hopes of pursuing AASECT certification in the future.
To supplement his education, he has also completed “Sex Ed as Resistance” an intensive program offering comprehensive, trauma-informed, consent and pleasure based sexuality education developed and facilitated by Ericka Hart, M. Ed.
Prior to this, Keanu discovered his passion for sex therapy while working at “The Expansive Group”, where he was encouraged to develop and lean into his own sense of a values-aligned clinical practice which enabled him to continue deconstructing, unlearning, and honing his technique.
my “sweet spots”:
Although being able to support folks through a variety of areas and concerns, Keanu’s niche lays within the depths of sex & sexuality, and how our identities, cultural frameworks, and inner multitudes work in tandem to inform how we construct our sexual awareness and concept of pleasure. Keanu invites exploration into one’s inner sexual landscape with hopes of supporting his clients in locating and understanding themselves in new and empowering ways. Some of his sweet spots include:
Afrocentric Sexuality
Consensual Non-Monogamy
Navigating the Kink & Play Scene
Differences in Desire
Healing through Sexual Trauma
Intercultural Perspectives, Expectations, and Values
Sex-Worker Support
Exploring Digital/Online Nude Spaces
