Mindful Desire Psychotherapy & Sex Therapy

Elena Bahar, sex therapist in Thousand Oaks

Welcome — I’m Elena Bahar, LMFT, CST.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist, offering online sex and relationship therapy for individuals and couples across California, Colorado, Florida, and Maine.

My work centers around helping you explore intimacy, desire, and connection in a way that feels safe, non-judgmental, and true to who you are.

I believe therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about creating space to better understand yourself, your relationships, and the patterns you may feel stuck in.

Together, we move at your pace.

My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for your lived experience.

I work with individuals and couples navigating experiences like sexual shame, desire differences, relationship challenges, and identity exploration, often within the context of sex therapy and relational work.

I also provide affirming, trauma-informed support for the LGBTQIA+ community & those in non-traditional relationships (including ethical non-monogamy), as well as kink/BDSM dynamics and neurodivergent relationships.

Every part of you is welcome here.

Our work is about reconnecting with your body, building awareness, and creating a more authentic and empowered relationship with yourself and others.
