Getting to know Angela Gunn

Hey you, I'm Angie, a sex and relationship therapist uniquely suited to support your journey to pleasure and healing. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, which grounds my clinical expertise alongside my lived experience. Have you struggled to find a therapist with whom you can be completely transparent about your sexuality or gender? Have you hidden your identities, desires, and challenges for fear of judgment, shame, or rejection? Sexuality is a challenging topic—one that most therapists don’t receive much training around. As a result, even therapists can be afraid to broach sensitive subjects, which makes it even harder for you when your mental health, relationship challenges, and overall well-being are so interrelated with your sexual health. Instead of shying away, my work centers your sexual self as a primary domain of care. First, we build trust. And when you’re ready, we explore every aspect that may be impacting your life. This can include healing sexual trauma or harm, exploring early childhood development and shame, permission giving to talk about different identities, expressions, and desires, and creating pathways to your fullest, most expansive pleasure and connection. Topics I’m passionate about include closing the orgasm gap, healing sexual trauma, queer love and sex, healing the harm from homophobia, gender-expansive exploration, non-monogamy and open relating, kink/BDSM/fetish exploration, the needs of sex workers (whorephobia and stigma) and those who’ve experienced trafficking, and finding pleasure after experiencing religious or cult repression. I identify with and am a member of many of these communities, which provides lived experience to balance clinical expertise as well. We work together to create a safe container for your diverse and erotic self, learning how to integrate those selves into your relationships and your life. Pleasure is key to mental health and well-being.

What should a new client know about working with you?

After a first session, you'll have a good sense as to what my style of therapy is (safe relationship, somatic and trauma informed), the areas of growth we can work on together, and a map for how we will get there. I really like feedback and check ins along the way to make sure we're on the right track too.

In-network insurances

Angela Gunn, LCSW has 200+ in-network plans.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
