Hello. My name is Stefan Bain and I am a Clinical Therapist (MSW, LCSW, MPH, CST/Certified Sex Therapist) with over 30 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. Educated at UC Berkeley, with post graduate school training at Vanderbilt University. My therapy practice is focused exclusively on sex-related issues and concerns (performance issues, infidelity, sexual addiction/compulsion, porn addiction, sexual disorders), and I work only with men. Since sex issues are often tethered to other stressors, my work often includes addressing influencing factors, such as anger management, addiction, anxiety and depression, trauma, body acceptance, and sexual identity and fantasy exploration. My therapy style is warm and interactive and my therapeutic approaches are based on best-practice and are evidence-based. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Our sessions are a safe space to talk about the things that are bothering or worrying you. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. One of the main goals of therapy is to provide you with the tools you will need to be successful long after treatment ends; therapy is just one step in your total wellness; the goal is to be whole; however you define it.
