Getting to know Dr. Stephanie Bathurst
I'm Dr. Stephanie Bathurst, Clinical Sexologist, Relationship Therapist, Certified Integrative Mental Health Specialist, PFilates Instructor, and EMDR Trauma Recovery Therapist. I use communication and intimacy to create fulfilling relationships. Particularly, I connect with romantic partners who have finally reached their limit of tolerance for the way life has demanded self-sacrifice. I am an expertly trained, deeply empathetic clinical guide on your life journey toward a more connected Self and more fulfilling Relationship.
I own a private practice, Bathurst Family Therapy, located in Oahu, HI, and am licensed in the states of HI, VA, MD, and FL as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I'm also a Board Certified Clinical Sexologist in the US. I integrate a holistic and traditional approach in my work with individuals and relationships to treat clients with mood disorders, sexual difficulties, and relationship instability that impair their quality of life and quality of relationship. I help clients embrace what it means to be healthy, connected, and sexual with themselves and their partners. I also offer education on herbal sourcing and supplementation as a conjunctive wellness treatment.
I earned my Master's in Clinical Counseling from La Salle University and hold a PhD from the International Institute of Clinical Sexology.
When I was an undergraduate student, I traveled to Honduras with a group of students. We volunteered to build infrastructure for the local community and orphanages. I can vividly recall walking into a room of young children aching for human affection from touch starvation. I felt their longing viscerally-at a core depth of human connection that is almost inexplicable. We do what we do in hopes that fewer people feel that painful longing for connection in this world. At the end of the day, we are all human, and every single human is built to experience affectionate touch, to feel loved, and to desire a sense of belonging with others.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Whether your relationship needs a completely personalized couples retreat with workshops focused on physical affection, sexual fulfillment and adventurous reconnection to boost that new relationship energy again or if it needs and online program to rebuild a frayed foundation, we offer all different levels of online and in-person services for all thing
The holistic mental health resounded in my private practice during a time when my own personal health was particularly taxed. I manage many disorders and try to do so with the nutrients, minerals and herbs that nature symbiotically created for us. I share this passion and appreciation of a ‘whole-istic’ approach with every client.
In my couples intimacy retreats and Roommates to Romance 90 Day program, I enlighten others on how to fulfill all 8 forms of intimacy in relationships. As a holistic practitioner, I also apply alternative medicine techniques to stabilize mental health with herbal and nutritional supplementation, meditative movement, sexual biofeedback, vagal toning, and EMDR.Â
While continuously valuing evidence-based techniques that ensure high efficacy, I educate through intimacy interventions, such as the Gottman Method, Emotion-Focused Therapy, integrative medicine for mental health, and psychosomatic bodywork.Â
?My expertise interweaves sexual optimization through hormone biohacking, energy theory in relationships, and breathwork activation of libido while encouraging partners to express core-needs with a goal of partner unification.
As a sound healing enthusiast, pilates practitioner, and certified PFilates instructor for pelvic floor conditioning, I successfully rehabilitate pelvic floor clients from around the world through live coaching. As a clinician, I can appreciate that my personal history with trauma, attachment interference, epigenetic disorders, and mind-body disconnection has all culminated into expertise and deep empathy which allows me to be the top provider that my clients deserve.
