Gottman Referral Network

About

I'm Paula Kirsch, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board Certified Sex Therapist specializing in sex therapy, couples counseling, and trauma. I work with individuals and couples navigating desire discrepancy, intimacy disconnection, and women's sexual health concerns, bringing both clinical rigor and genuine human warmth to every session.

I am Gottman Level II trained, which means I work with couples using one of the most research-grounded frameworks in the field, going beyond communication skills into the deeper dynamics of trust, conflict, and connection. I am currently pursing a PhD in Sexology at MSTI.

My practice is fully telehealth via HIPAA-compliant Zoom, which means no commute, no waiting room, and the privacy of your own space. Research consistently supports telehealth as equally effective to in-person therapy, and for sensitive topics, many clients find it easier.

I am licensed in New York, Connecticut, and Michigan. Visit my website to learn more, or use the booking link above to schedule your first appointment or the contact form on my website to schedule a brief phone consultation.
