I am a licensed professional counselor and certified sex therapist with 10 years of licensure experience. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, I work with a diverse range of clients across the United States and internationally through BetterHelp and my independent virtual practice. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and welcome individuals and partners of all identities, orientations, cultures, and relationship structures.
My practice is centered on human experiences and the relationships that shape our lives. Healthy relationships can be difficult to build and maintain, whether they involve partners, spouses, parents, children, family members, or other important connections. I help clients strengthen communication, increase understanding, address sexual concerns, and identify barriers that may be preventing them from creating healthier and more fulfilling lives.
I believe our past influences our present, often in ways we do not immediately recognize. Therapy is not about identifying another person’s flaws or trying to force someone else to change. It is an opportunity to understand ourselves more fully, take accountability for our choices, develop grace for our current circumstances and for others, consider how those circumstances may be affecting the people around us, and recognize that there is no single prescribed way to build a meaningful life or relationship.
My approach is direct, empathetic, and grounded in fairness and accountability. I provide a supportive space while also encouraging honest reflection and meaningful action. Together, we will examine recurring patterns, clarify your needs and values, and develop a practical plan for growth.
My niche areas of focus include relationship and communication concerns, sexual health and sexual functioning, intimacy, alternative and nontraditional relationships, anger management, and substance use assessments. My goal is straightforward: to help people become healthier individuals and create relationships in which they can communicate honestly, find common ground, and experience greater connection and happiness.

She is personal, validates my feelings, gives me real life examples to help me understand my mental health issues… she is simply amazing! She makes me feel so safe.

I am so grateful for her guidance and her time. My search is over!! 10 out of 10 will always recommend this woman. Thank you, Dr. Sexton!

It's been a year since I had Dr Sexton, so when I had enough money, I came back to them; there is something about them that I enjoy talking to and learning from them; I have seen a massive change of growth from where I was just a couple of days ago till today. Within a day, my mindset changed, and they knew how to bring up the encouragement I needed.

Dr. Sexton has been an incredible therapist. She is very eager to listen as well as share her experience when applicable to help provide more insight into challenges I am/have been facing. She is incredibly warm and approachable, making me feel comfortable speaking openly and honestly with her. Compared to other therapies and analysis I've been in, she feels present and I have never felt judged or belittled by any of her responses. She sends mindful messages between sessions and is incredibly flexible. Very much recommend.

Treva has been tremendously helpful with creating a positive image of myself. She listened carefully to my concerns and understood straight away what I needed to improve on. She gave me practical ways to boost my self esteem and used a holistic approach to combat my negative self talk. She is patient, wise, and caring and takes time to understand your point of view so as to be the best help possible. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Treva’ input and she has been so encouraging. I’m so grateful to Treva and I would highly recommend choosing her as your therapist.

We clicked right away. I've never had a counsellor who I could talk so freely and relaxed. I've gone from not being able to see a future when I first started therapy, to realising my value as a community leader, learning to delegate tasks, and turning my relationships around. I know that Treva doesn't work miracle and this isn't magic - I did the work - but Treva has a way of getting me to believe in myself. Sometimes talking to Treva helps me to process and put into perspective how my week has progressed and I don't need any support other than to just go over everything... But I always, ALWAYS leave the session feeling empowered. I am truly grateful for Treva.
