Millions struggle with intimacy in silence. Dr. Fosse is helping uncover what’s really behind it
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, April 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Conversations around mental health have opened up in recent years, but when it comes to intimacy, sexual wellbeing, and trauma, many people are still struggling in silence. According to a recent study, sexual dysfunction affected 43% of women and over 50% of men, and most did not seek help.
For many, the hardest part is knowing where to start. Dr. Magdalena Fosse, a clinical psychologist, couples therapist, and AASECT-certified sex therapist, works with individuals and couples who feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. What often presents as low desire, performance anxiety, or emotional distance is frequently rooted in deeper issues such as unresolved trauma, communication breakdowns, or questions around identity and boundaries.
“Shame and guilt are at the center of so many sexual struggles, but they rarely get talked about directly. People come in thinking something is wrong with them, when in reality, they’ve been carrying messages and experiences that were never fully processed. Once we start to unpack that, everything begins to shift.”
Rather than offering surface-level solutions, Dr. Fosse focuses on what is happening beneath the surface. Her work integrates psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, mindfulness, and somatic awareness to help patients better understand the patterns shaping their relationships, sexuality, and sense of self.
“Real change doesn’t come from trying to fix the surface. It comes from understanding what’s underneath. When people begin to connect with themselves and others in a deeper, more honest way, their relationship to intimacy naturally starts to evolve.”

— Those experiencing low desire, performance anxiety, or physical sexual challenges

“We’ve been taught to avoid these conversations, to push them aside or feel embarrassed by them,” Dr. Fosse says. “But the truth is, the more we’re willing to understand ourselves, the more freedom we actually have in our relationships and in our lives.”
