Our Clinical Approach is Integrative & Wholistic

Somatic Psychotherapy (I-CBT) & Somatic Sex Therapy


Intersectional Cognitive Behavior Therapy & Approach (I-CBT)

Our trauma-responsive approach consists of using a somatic psychotherapy system, Intersectional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Approach (I-CBT) and Somatic Sex Therapy. Developed by Lena Queen, LCSW, M.E.d, I-CBT is a 3-module integrative trauma-responsive healing model  informed by a person's lived experience honoring the relationship between one's identity  and systems of power and oppression (somatic psychotherapy).  One's identity could include but is not limited to race, ethnicity/culture, gender, class, ability, spirituality and power. 


I-CBT, a somatic psychotherapy intervention, includes the emotional coaching system, SHIFT, which is comprised of 4 mindfulness strategies. I-CBT,  is a 3-module healing model informed by a person's lived experience, their mind-body relationship interactions   When adding a 4th module, sexological bodywork (non-touch), to this framework I-CBT transforms into Somatic Sex Therapy, a transformative-justice approach to healing and wellness. These evidence-based frameworks incorporate trauma-informed comprehensive sex education with mental health psychoeducation & mind-body education.  intervention depending on the intensity of the discomfort experienced. Each has been shown to be effective for tweens, teens and adults.


For pre-school and elementary age children, I-CBT also includes the emotional coaching intervention Feel-Think-Do, which has been to be useful to younger humans in maintaining their emotional safety.  


I-CBT focuses on the embodiment of one's lived experience by addressing the question-Who Am I? We process this embodiment as it informs a person’s relationship to Self and others and is the undercurrent of their decision-making and health of those relationships.


Informed by Sandra Bloom's  Sanctuary Model, I-CBT  can be used in a variety of professional and community settings including  professional settings , life coaching settings, outpatient, inpatient, residential, community-based,  community centers, and  schools.  



Somatic Sex Therapy

Somatic sexology is not a new concept to sexology (sex education & sex therapy), but often seen as fringe because it teaches client’s how to improve their mind-body connection (experience-focus) which is unlike traditional sex therapy’s sensate focus (i.e. outcome/orgasm-focus). Like many other helping professions, sexology must undergo a transformation to disrupt and de-center dominant narratives that assume heterosexuality and monogamy and challenge research that is framed in those dominant narratives, which are rooted in Euro-centric views and values (i.e. White supremacy). 


With Black Sexual Epistemology’s The Erotic Self (Gilbert, 2019) and grounded in the intersectional pleasure-manifesto, Audre Lorde's Uses of the Erotic, Queen's brand of Somatic Sex Therapy is a 4-module decolonizing, intersectional queer and trans-affirming approach to sexology that is an integrative, healing-centered, & body-based approach to sex therapy.
