About Emily Gordon, LCSW

I provide sex therapy and relationship therapy for individuals and couples throughout Hawaii.

Hi, I am Emily Gordon, LCSW.

I provide sex therapy and relationship therapy for individuals and couples in Hawaii. Relationships, intimacy, and sexuality are deeply personal, and it isn’t always easy to talk about the challenges we experience. Whether you’re navigating relationship concerns, differences in sexual desire, communication difficulties, intimacy concerns, sexual health concerns, or a major life transition, therapy can offer a supportive space to explore your experiences with openness and curiosity.

I believe every person’s story is unique. My goal is to create a collaborative and affirming environment where you feel seen, accepted, and empowered to understand yourself more fully. Together, we’ll explore the patterns, experiences, and strengths that shape your relationship with yourself and others while working toward meaningful, lasting change.

My approach is warm, compassionate, trauma-informed, and client-centered. I draw from evidence-based therapy practices and tailor our work to your individual needs, identities, relationships, and goals. I value authenticity and curiosity, and I believe growth begins when we learn to understand ourselves with greater compassion rather than judgment.

Seeking therapy takes courage, and you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I would be honored to support you as you develop a deeper connection with yourself, strengthen your relationships, and create the life you want.
