We serve the state of WA and we are currently telehealth ONLY. With 13 therapists on the team, all are welcome to contact us to learn more about what we can do to support you. Visit the website at www.healingmomentscounseling.net for more information about each therapist and to figure out what would be the best fit for you. Kimberly Castelo, founder of Healing Moments Counseling, is an ICEEFT Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist and an AASECT Certified S*x Therapist. Along with this, she is a Certified Integrated Intimacy Professional, allowing her to work with clients on s*xuality and spirituality and the shame that sometimes comes with it. She is a wife, a parent to a wonderful daughter, an animal lover, and an overachieving city AND country girl (the best of both worlds, right?). She loves to laugh and refuses to take herself too seriously in this chaotic world. Kimberly loves deeply and takes her social justice work very seriously. Kimberly wholeheartedly supports the LGBTQIA+ community and is always looking for new ways to celebrate and be an advocate for this community, along with other marginalized communities. To Kimberly, life is a collection of moments that have the potential to heal our hearts and minds and bring more unity, both within ourselves and with others around us. Connection is necessary for a happy and healthy life, and that connection starts with you.

“Hot” isn’t just chemistry—it’s safety.

S*x is best when your nervous system isn’t in fight-or-flight… when your body can actually relax, open, and receive connection instead of bracing for it.

Secure s*x looks like:
💙 Clear, ongoing consent that feels good—not pressured
💙 No “obligation energy” (you want to be there)
💙 Feeling seen and desired, not just used
💙 Knowing the connection won’t vanish afterward

If s*x has ever made you feel small, anxious, or disposable—it’s not you.
It’s your body asking for safety.

And that kind of safety can be built.

At Healing Moments Counseling, our s*x therapists help you understand your body, your patterns, and your relationship so intimacy can feel secure, connected, and deeply satisfying.

You deserve s*x that feels safe and exciting.

✨ Book your free s*x therapy consultation today
✨ Reconnect with your body and your partner
✨ Experience intimacy that actually feels good—before, during, and after

When your relationship starts to feel like keeping score, walking on eggshells, or just… coexisting—it’s usually not about a lack of love. It’s about feeling disconnected, unseen, or unsure how to find your way back to each other.

And that’s something you can repair.

Couples counseling isn’t about choosing sides—it’s about learning how to turn toward each other again. To feel like a team. To communicate in ways that actually land. To rebuild emotional and physical closeness from a place of safety.

At Healing Moments Counseling, we help partners move from distance and frustration into connection, understanding, and secure love.

You don’t have to stay stuck in the same patterns.

💛 Schedule your couples counseling session today
💛 Start feeling like partners again—not opponents
💛 Build the kind of relationship that feels supportive, connected, and safe

Your relationship deserves support—and it’s okay to ask for it.

“I said I was sorry—what more do you want?”

If you’ve ever felt this (or heard it), you already know…
an apology alone doesn’t always create repair.

Because repair isn’t about ending the conversation—
it’s about helping your partner feel seen, understood, and safe again.

In Episode 6: Rupture to Repair – 5 Steps to Effective Attachment Apologies, you’ll learn how to move from surface-level “I’m sorry” to the kind of apology that actually rebuilds trust and deepens connection.

✨ Why your apologies might not be landing
✨ The missing piece: emotional acknowledgment
✨ A simple 5-step framework to turn conflict into closeness

Because it’s not the rupture that breaks relationships—
it’s the lack of repair.

🎧 If you’re ready to feel more connected (even after conflict), this episode is for you.

Save this, share it with your partner, and go listen to Episode 6 on the Roadmap to Secure Love today.

A boundary says, “I need this to feel safe.”

A wall says, “I can’t trust you, so I’ll push you away.”

Secure attachment means knowing the difference.
🚪 Wall: Avoiding deep conversations because “it’s easier.”
🛑 Boundary: Asking for time to process, then coming back to connect.
🚪 Wall: Refusing to be vulnerable because “I don’t need anyone.”
🛑 Boundary: Opening up at your pace, with trust.

Protecting yourself is good. But connection requires some doors to stay open.

Ever mistaken a wall for a boundary? Or need help setting boundaries? Let's talk.

Therapists—let’s talk.

If you can help clients explore their emotions, you already have the foundation to help them talk about s*x. Yet for many clinicians, conversations about intimacy, desire, and s*xual concerns can feel like the hardest ones to navigate in the therapy room.

The truth is: when we understand the attachment needs underneath s*xual experiences, everything starts to make more sense. Desire, avoidance, conflict, shame, longing—it’s often about connection.

When you learn how to integrate attachment theory with s*x therapy, you can:
✨ Help couples move from shutdown and conflict into deeper emotional and s*xual connection
✨ Guide clients through vulnerable conversations about intimacy with confidence
✨ Understand the emotional meaning behind s*xual struggles
✨ Support partners in building secure, fulfilling s*xual relationships

If you’re ready to expand your skills and feel more confident working with intimacy and s*xuality in therapy, this training was created for you.

Our therapists at Healing Moments Counseling are sharing some of their favorite ways to support the nervous system—simple practices you can return to anytime you need grounding.

Swipe through to explore their tips and find the ones that resonate with you. You might discover a new ritual that helps your body soften, breathe deeper, and reconnect.

Many therapists are trained in attachment.
Many are trained in s*x therapy.

But very few trainings teach how to integrate the two.

And that’s where some of the deepest relationship healing actually happens.

When clients struggle with intimacy, desire differences, s*xual disconnection, or recurring relationship conflict, the root often isn’t just about s*x… and it isn’t just about communication.

It’s about attachment needs showing up inside s*xual connection.

When therapists understand how attachment dynamics shape s*xual experiences, they can help couples move beyond surface-level solutions and into real relational repair, safety, and intimacy.

This training is designed to help you:
✨ Understand the attachment system within s*xual relationships
✨ Recognize how s*xual patterns connect to emotional bonds
✨ Support couples in healing both emotionally and s*xually

If you want to deepen your clinical work and help couples experience lasting connection, safety, and intimacy, this training is for you.

Join therapists from around the world who are learning how to bring attachment work and s*x therapy together in powerful ways.

Enrollment is open now.

Love languages tell us how we like to receive love. But attachment languages tell us why we push love away—or cling too tight.
🔹 Anxious Attachment: “I need constant reassurance to feel safe.”
🔹 Avoidant Attachment: “I crave closeness but fear losing myself.”
🔹 Disorganized Attachment: “Love feels both safe and dangerous.”
🔹 Secure Attachment: “I trust that love is consistent.”

The kind that feels steady.
The kind that doesn’t make you question your worth.

From our therapists, here are tips for creating healthy love. Swipe left to see them all.

Secure love isn’t something you stumble into. It’s something you practice — together.

You already know how to sit with grief.
With trauma.
With the ache of attachment wounds.

You know how to slow a room down when emotions rise.

Now imagine bringing that same steadiness into conversations about s*x.

Not awkward.
Not avoidant.
Not tiptoeing.

But grounded. Regulated. Attachment-informed. Confident.

S*xuality is often where attachment injuries echo the loudest — and where couples feel the most shame, shutdown, or conflict. When you can help clients feel emotionally safe and erotically seen, you transform the depth of your work.

The Certified Attachment S*x Therapist Program through Modern S*x Therapy Institutes is designed for therapists who are ready to integrate attachment science with s*xuality in a way that feels ethical, embodied, and clinically solid.

This is your invitation to expand your scope with integrity — and serve clients across cultures, identities, and relationships worldwide.

Therapists from around the globe are enrolling.

If you feel the nudge, trust it.

Step into the room fully.
