Intimate Wellness by Sophia Benson M.S. PhDc, LAC
Empowering individual relationships through expert coaching, addressing mental health, performance, intimacy, and sex therapy
About Sophia
I am sure you are on this page vetting whether I'm up to the challenge of taking on serious life obstacles and helping you overcome them. My life has not always been the healthiest, and I have certainly had my fair share of life's handouts kicking my ass. As a mom of littles, I knew I needed to help others empower their own lives, even though I often felt I had never succeeded or always fallen short under societal pressures. From being a housewife with no career, no education beyond college introductory classes, a lack of self-love, heartbreak, and hopelessness, I gained insight into a new way to live life to its fullest and eventually take control of my life and transform it in the ways I wanted, not as others perceived me.
With two Master's degrees —one in Clinical Mental Health with an emphasis in Addiction and Substance Abuse through a CACREP accredited program at Colorado Christian Univeristy and the other in an ASSECT approved program for Clinical Sex Therapy —I assist high-achieving couples and individuals in overcoming their setbacks, breaking unhealthy patterns, taking control of their lives, and transforming or creating new intimate relationships that foster growth and healing. I have over ten years of experience in a private practice setting and clinical focus, but found that not all lifestyles can be helped confined behind four walls. While embracing a life-coaching model, I can use my skills beyond an office setting and tailor them for one-on-one, interactive, transformative, results-driven work to help you become a new, fulfilled you.
I specialize in intimacy issues, confidence, and helping individuals find fulfillment in love, life, and everyday adventures. I take pride in assisting individuals to overcome patterns that are not easily visible but ultimately hold them back from progress. I also emphasize that, as someone who practices faith, I enjoy working with individuals and couples who want to go through their journey and incorporate their own faith into their sessions. My expertise is always tailored to you as an individual, and I am excited to help you transform your own life.
Love,
Sophia

Why Coaching?
Taking the first steps in realizing you need assistance with your personal life is stressful enough, especially when it revolves around intimacy. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples building their sex lives and relationships to resonate and balance with what they feel on the inside and how they want to experience on the outside.a more fulfilling life.
Coaching Just For You
Coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all because you are unique, with your own blend of identities, experiences, and life circumstances shaping how you approach sex and relationships. Together, we’ll collaborate to explore your needs and goals, crafting a personalized coaching experience tailored to support your journey and help you achieve what you’re striving for.
Through My Coaching I Help You:
- Let go of what drains you — from grudges to old stories and patterns that hold you back.
- Build real, lasting confidence — so you can trust yourself, make clear decisions, and show up boldly in your life and work.
- Set and keep boundaries — to protect your time, energy, and peace without guilt or apology.
- Define success on your own terms — so your version of balance actually works for you.
My style is warm but honest — you’ll get deep listening, real talk, and practical tools to help you shift your mindset and take action.

Insurance
Intimate Wellness Solutions is an out-of-network provider.
Why you might choose to see an out-of-network provider.
* Many plans will reimburse a significant portion of the cost of seeing an out-of-network provider, reducing your total out-of-pocket cost to an amount similar to your co-pay.
* Openness to working with a therapist out of network will insulate you from the difficulties of having to find a new therapist if you switch jobs or your job switches insurance providers.
* Out of network therapy can open the door for more personalized and holistic care. Therapists can offer longer or more frequent sessions than insuranacfe might cover (i.e. 90-minues or twice weekly). You can also explore more indivdualized and innovatice modalities, such as outdoor or walk-and-talk therapy, in-home sessions that focus on sleep, organization, office layout and even meeting where you perform. (gym, competition, etc).
* Choosing to forego the use of insurance provides more privacy. Details about the frequency and duration of your care are yours alone!
