Professional statement

Nicole Irving is a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in sex and relationship therapy. She works with individuals and couples struggling with sexual dysfunction including difficulty with orgasm, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and sexual pain. Other issues she commonly treats are desire discrepancies between couples, exploration of fantasies, discovering and re-discovering desire, and working with the LGBTQ+ community in exploring identity and healing from trauma. In relationship work, she guides partners through strategies to improve communication, identify attachment issues, heal from infidelity, and build intimacy and security in the relationship.

Nicole works from a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. She prides herself on being an inclusive and relatable therapist who normalizes sexual and relationship issues. She works with all backgrounds and is LGBTQ+, poly, and kink-friendly. She believes in offering evidence-based solutions to help her clients overcome whatever challenges they face. She creates a collaborative environment where clients feel heard and understood. Nicole understands how hopeless and frustrating experiencing sexual or relationship difficulties can be. Often, people are left feeling helpless even after seeing medical providers and other therapists. Together, she will work with you to help you find solutions to have a more satisfying relationship and life.

Nicole received her Masters in Arts in Psychology and Counseling at New York University. She then went on to George Washington University in DC to gain a Post-Master’s Certificate in Counseling. She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Clinical Sexology from Modern Sex Therapy Institutes and is expected to receive her doctorate in 2025. She has worked with individuals and couples since 2017 and is trained in Sex Therapy interventions, the Gottman Method, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, attachment theory, and Existential Therapy.

Nicole offers telehealth sessions to Virginia residents and has both early morning and evening availability.


Message to clients

I have worked with many individuals and couples experiencing difficulty and hardship in their sex and relationship lives and have witnessed their issues dramatically improve through our work together. I specifically chose sex and relationship therapy as my focus after seeing how lost people were even after seeking support from professionals. Sexual issues can often leave even those in the medical and helping fields unable to provide their patients with helpful resources. In our work together, I will offer techniques, strategies, and solutions that will improve your sex and relationship life getting you to a place of satisfaction and relationship enhancement.

In our sessions together you can expect collaboration, genuineness, and a judgement free zone. When dealing with the most sensitive and difficult issues, I believe that you deserve a therapist who can offer you tools for healing. For more information contact me today or schedule a free 15-minute consultation over the phone.
