Sex & Somatic Therapy for People with Chronic Illness & Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in-person in Decatur and online across Georgia and Florida

Maybe your body feels like a stranger…

One you were never allowed to know.

If you’re reading this, you likely grew up learning that your body was something to control, not celebrate. Now chronic pain has made intimacy even more complicated, and you're caught between the shame you learned early in life and the physical reality you're living now.

You've become an expert at managing everyone else's discomfort and needs while your own desires remain a mystery.

The hardest part? You might not even know what you want because you were never taught it was okay to want anything.

You're tired of sex feeling like something that happens to you rather than with you. Tired of pain dictating your choices before you even know what those choices could be. You’re tired of relationships where your pleasure—physical and emotional—feels impossible or wrong. If you're ready to discover what your body actually needs and wants, it might be time to meet with a sex therapist to finally give yourself permission to feel good.

Hi, I’m Jess.

I work with people whose bodies don't follow the rules.

Most of my clients have spent years being dismissed by doctors, feeling betrayed by their bodies, or trying to force themselves to function "normally" despite chronic pain or illness. They're exhausted from explaining their invisible symptoms to people who don't get it.

As a therapist living with my own health challenges, I create a space where your physical experiences are believed without question. We'll tackle the complicated emotions of having a body that doesn't cooperate — the frustration, the grief, and yes, sometimes the dark humor that gets you through.

I specialize in helping you rebuild trust with your body, navigate intimacy and pleasure despite pelvic pain or sexual challenges, and create a life that honors both your limitations and your dreams.

This is about reclaiming your right to rest, pleasure, and self-advocacy in a world that wasn't designed for bodies like ours.

All of your identities welcome, all in one space.

Volita Counseling is a therapeutic practice that provides compassionate support for your whole self.

Receive tailored therapeutic approaches for your unique journey, including chronic illness management, sexual and pelvic health concerns, and navigating productivity with physical and neurodivergent limitations.

So tell me, are you here for…

  • Maybe you're dealing with chronic pain that makes simple things feel impossible, or you grew up learning that rest, your body and/or your desires were shameful. You're tired of pretending you're okay when you're not, and you want to figure out how to actually live, not just survive.

  • Your relationship feels strained in ways you never hoped for. Chronic illness, sexual difficulties, or just the exhaustion of managing health challenges together has created distance where all you want is closeness. You both care, but you're not sure how to bridge the gap anymore. Couples counseling can be done both virtually or at my in-person office in Decatur.

  • Managing polyamory or ethical non-monogamy is complicated enough without adding chronic pain, sexual dysfunction, or other health challenges to the mix. If you need someone who actually understands how these relationship structures work and can help you navigate the unique challenges of maintaining multiple intimate connections when your body isn't cooperating, you’ve come to the right place.
