Hi there! I’m Cheyenne McGuire (she/her), an AASECT certified sex therapist and licensed marriage and family therapist and I’m so glad you’re here.
If you’re here, you might be feeling disconnected from your body, uncertain about your desire, or experiencing shame. Maybe you were raised in a system that taught you to silence your needs, fear your sexuality, or shrink parts of yourself to feel “good enough.” Maybe you struggle to feel safe in intimacy or even communication within your relationship. You might be feeling pain from past experiences and feeling stuck in your body, in your relationships, and in your life.
Therapy with me is about rediscovering what feels true, safe, and alive for you. We’ll explore how your body, history, and identity shape your connection to pleasure and relationships — and we’ll gently unravel the stories that have kept you from feeling free. Together, we’ll create space to name your desires, understand your boundaries, and build a new sense of belonging within yourself and the people you love. Whether you’re navigating mismatched libidos, sexual pain, lingering resentments, or a general sense of distance, our work will focus on helping you reconnect — not just through techniques, but through genuine understanding and attunement to each other’s needs.
I'm here to help you navigate these challenges and reclaim a fulfilling sex life. My approach is trauma-informed, sex-positive, and anti-oppressive. As a systems therapist, I consider the many contexts involved in making each person’s experience unique and tailor my treatment approaches to my client’s unique needs. I show up with warmth, humor, and deep respect for your story — because healing doesn’t happen through perfection, it happens through connection.
If you’re seeking a therapist who provides safety, collaboration, and genuine care as you explore your inner world, I’d be honored to support you on your path toward healing and fulfillment.
My Story
I grew up in a rural, conservative Christian town in Texas, where sex was often framed as something to fear or avoid. As a naturally curious person, I wanted to understand the very thing we were told not to think about, talk about, or explore. That curiosity became a lifelong passion. In undergrad, I dove into every course I could on human sexuality and relationships, eventually engaging in research focused on addiction, sexual trauma, and intimacy.
My therapeutic career began at an advocacy center supporting children who had experienced abuse, most of it sexual in nature. That experience shaped the foundation of my work—helping people find safety in their bodies and reclaim their voices. Over time, my practice expanded beyond work with teens to include adults and couples navigating trauma, intimacy, and desire. My specialties are deeply connected to my own story, which informs how I show up—with authenticity, compassion, and genuine understanding.
Outside of session, I’m a wife, an eldest daughter, a friend, and the proud caretaker of two fur babies, a scaly critter, and far too many houseplants. I love to keep my mind active through crafts, puzzles, travel, and, yes—plenty of reality TV. You’ll almost always find me with a homemade iced latte in hand. I like to say my home is in Texas but my heart is in the PNW!
