Themes: relationship maintenance, couples therapy, relationship needs

It makes sense that we focus on our needs first and foremost. But often times, we do this at the expense of caring for what our spouse desires in the relationship. Let's talk about it.

Katie Moise is a pelvic floor physical therapist and the owner of ATL Pelvic Health, a specialty clinic in Atlanta dedicated exclusively to pelvic floor therapy. At ATL Pelvic Health, Katie and her team of physical and occupational therapists work one-on-one with patients to address a wide range of concerns—from pregnancy and postpartum recovery to chronic pelvic pain, urinary leakage, bowel dysfunction, and sexual health. The clinic also offers Pilates and small group Reformer classes, which complement therapy and provide patients with movement strategies they can carry into everyday life.

Katie is passionate about breaking the stigma surrounding pelvic health and making it a conversation everyone feels comfortable having. Through her clinic’s personalized, whole-body approach, she and her team are redefining what pelvic health care looks like in Atlanta.

Themes: communication issues, sexual issues

This is quite common in sex therapy: couples describe that talking about sex looks more like arguing about sex. But...this isn't sexy. Let's talk about it.

Themes: couples therapy, motivation for change, stages of change

When deciding to go to therapy, it is common (and totally acceptable) to be unsure about what you want or need. However, if you are looking for progress and change, an investment of time and energy will be mandatory. Let's talk about what happens when you do (and don't) invest in the process of therapy.

Themes: spontaneous vs responsive drive, sex therapy, desire discrepancy

For those who have responsive drive, you may resonate with feeling irritable when your spouse "bothers you" for sex while you are in the middle of a task, or when you are tired at the end of the day. This episode covers once huge lifestyle shift that will improve your ability to be less irritable and more open to connection: TRANSITION TIME!

I offer individual and couples therapy sessions in-person in Atlanta, Georgia and online to all Georgia residents.

In July of 2025, I officially started my private practice, My Intimacy Therapist, in Atlanta, Georgia for sex therapy and intimacy issues.

I created this space for those who are struggling with:

• anxiety and control
• low or high sex drive (compared to their significant other)
• trouble getting "in the mood" due to pain during sex
• communication that gets you stuck in cycles of blow ups or shut downs
• generational patterns that you will be the first to break
• overwhelmingly busy lives that suffocate sex and intimacy

If you can relate, welcome. Podcast topics will continue to cover these themes - but of course, the My Intimacy Therapist Podcast does not serve as therapeutic advice or relationship. If you would like to take these "food for thought" episodes a bit further, I invite you to visit my website myintimacytherapist.com and/or schedule a 15-minute phone consultation here.
