Sex & Intimacy Therapy

For many queer, trans, and BIPOC people, the topic of sex is tangled in a web of cultural shame, religious silence, systemic oppression, and survival-based adaptations. At Homebody Psychotherapy, sex and intimacy therapy is not about fixing dysfunction or adhering to narrow norms—it's about liberation. It’s about giving you the space to reconnect with your body, your desires, and your relationships in ways that feel safe, expansive, and fully your own.

Through a lens that is anti-colonial, trauma-informed, and rooted in body sovereignty, Keanu M. Jackson, LCSW (he/him), offers care that honors the complexity of your lived experience. He brings a deeply personal and professional perspective to this work—as a sexual assault survivor, as someone with lived experience in the sex trade, and as a proudly pro-hoe, kink-affirming, sex-positive therapist. His approach centers the belief that pleasure is not frivolous—it’s sacred, political, and deeply personal.

This work is especially powerful for clients who:

  • Are healing from sexual trauma or shame

  • Have internalized harmful messages around sex, gender, and desire

  • Are navigating kink, polyamory, or non-monogamy within cultural or familial contexts

  • Feel disconnected from their bodies or pleasure due to systemic or relational harm

  • Want to redefine intimacy on their own terms

Unlike traditional sex therapy models that often center heteronormativity and white clinical frameworks, therapy here is spacious. It affirms that your erotic life is not a symptom—it’s a story. One worth honoring, not pathologizing.

TRaining & Education:

Keanu is currently completing his training with the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy’s Sex Therapy Certificate Program, with hopes of pursuing AASECT certification in the future.

To supplement his education, he has also completed “Sex Ed as Resistance” an intensive program offering comprehensive, trauma-informed, consent and pleasure based sexuality education developed and facilitated by Ericka Hart, M. Ed.

Prior to this, Keanu discovered his passion for sex therapy while working at “The Expansive Group”, where he was encouraged to develop and lean into his own sense of a values-aligned clinical practice which enabled him to continue deconstructing, unlearning, and honing his technique.

Sex, Sexuality, and Liberation-Centered Care

While Keanu supports clients across a wide range of emotional and relational concerns, his clinical niche is deeply rooted in the intersections of sex, sexuality, identity, culture, and systemic power. His work invites clients to explore how personal, ancestral, and collective experiences shape their relationship to pleasure, intimacy, and desire.

As a queer, Black, kink-affirming sex therapist, Keanu offers an intentional, nonjudgmental space for curiosity, healing, and self-definition. His therapy is grounded in anti-oppressive, decolonial values that challenge shame-based, Eurocentric frameworks around sexuality. Here, you are not asked to shrink yourself to fit into a narrow mold. Instead, you are encouraged to expand into your erotic truth—without stigma, surveillance, or fear of being misunderstood.

Keanu’s approach is especially supportive for queer, trans, and BIPOC clients who are:

  • Working to unlearn internalized sexual shame

  • Navigating non-monogamy, kink, or sex work with care and self-trust

  • Reclaiming their bodies and pleasure from trauma or religious oppression

  • Wanting to explore and deepen their sexual and relational self-understanding

Core Areas of Clinical Focus Include:

  • Reconnecting with ancestral, culturally grounded pathways to erotic embodiment and joy.

  • Navigating open relationships, communication dynamics, and community-informed relationship values.

  • Creating space for clients to explore kink identities, desires, and power play without pathologization.

  • Supporting individuals and couples in bridging mismatches in sexual needs, pace, or frequency with compassion.

  • Using trauma-informed, parts-based work to reclaim safety, voice, and embodied autonomy.

  • Exploring the influence of family, culture, migration, and generational narratives on sexual beliefs and relational patterns.

  • Offering nonjudgmental, contextually aware care for current and former sex workers navigating safety, healing, and community connection.

  • Supporting clients who engage in nudes, sexting, or digital intimacy to cultivate agency, boundaries, and clarity.

  • Reframing “unusual” or stigmatized desires as normal expressions of erotic selfhood.

  • Reconnecting with the body and self-pleasure as sites of healing, reflection, and liberation.
