You deserve passion.
Live your most authentic sexual life.
Stephanie Zuber is a licensed mental health counselor and sex therapist offering in-person and virtual therapy in New York State, coaching, and consulting.
What does modern commitment mean to you?
In our busy, interconnected but independent lives, commitment and happiness take on different meanings. We assume that love will prevail, and forget that relationships don't just "work." We believe that love should live on its own, without effort and attention, like a cactus in a desert. Unfortunately this isn't the case.
This is where I come in.
What exactly is the "work" involved in relationships? Do we wait for something bad to happen and then try to "fix" it? Do we think, "That won't happen to us. We are different. Our love for each other is so strong that it won't be work?"
Let’s find out together.
I believe discussion about sex, marriage, and long-term relationships can occur without the smut, scandal, and stigma such topics often incur.
Why should you see a sex therapist?
Typically, licensed therapists or social workers undergo limited training on topics specific to human sexuality. A sex therapist, on top of holding a license for therapy, has additional training and education that requires rigorous supervision, and is up-to-date on research regarding human sexuality.

Hello! I’m Stephanie.
For ten years, I have specialized in working with individuals, couples, and multi-partnered relationships as they explore concerns related to sex, intimacy, and gender identity. Using a combination of proven methods in sex therapy and relationship/family therapies, I help people heal and experience a satisfying sex life so they feel connected and thrive. I am based in Ithaca, New York.
I support the Ithaca Doula Collective
I believe that the presence of a doula can greatly improve physiologic and emotional outcomes for creating and sustaining a healthy pregnancy, birth and postpartum period for all individuals and families.
