Sex, Trauma & Relationship Therapist in Fort Worth, TX
MEET CHEYENNE MCGUIRE LMFT, CST
If you're here, there's a good chance you're looking for more than a therapist who will simply tell you what you're "supposed" to do.
Maybe you're struggling with intimacy, desire, trauma, body image, religious shame, sexuality, or connection in your relationship. Maybe you've spent years trying to figure out why something that seems like it should be easy feels so complicated.
I'm here to help you make sense of those experiences without judgment.
My work is rooted in the belief that you are not broken. Often, the things that feel like problems today developed as ways of coping, protecting yourself, or belonging.
Therapy can be a place to gently untangle those patterns, reconnect with your body and your voice, and figure out what actually feels authentic to you.
Who I Work With
⟡ Individuals working through trauma or PTSD
⟡ People healing from sexual trauma
⟡ People navigating religious trauma, purity culture, or sexual shame
⟡ Couples wanting more emotional and sexual intimacy
⟡ People experiencing pelvic pain or painful sex
⟡ People exploring gender identity or sexual orientation
⟡ People working through body image and body shame
⟡ People navigating desire differences or sexual concerns
⟡ People exploring ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, or other relationship structures
⟡ People who want to understand themselves and their relationships more deeply
You deserve a relationship with your body, your sexuality, and your partner that feels safe, connected, and fully yours.
But for many people, shame, past experiences, and cultural messages about sex can make intimacy feel confusing, overwhelming, or distant.
Therapy is a space where you can begin to rediscover what feels true, safe, and alive for you. Together, we might explore how your body, history, and identity shape your relationship with intimacy and pleasure. We’ll create space to name your desires, understand your boundaries, and rebuild trust within yourself and your relationships.This work isn’t about forcing change or fixing you. It’s about helping you reconnect; to your body, your voice, and the people you care about.
How I Work
⟡ Trauma-Informed ⟡
I pay attention to safety, pacing, nervous-system responses, and the ways past experiences can continue to affect your present.
⟡ Sex-Positive ⟡
I believe sexuality can be explored without shame or judgment. That includes desire, pleasure, sexual orientation, gender, kink, consensual non-monogamy, and the many ways people experience intimacy.
⟡ Relational ⟡
Our relationships shape us. We'll explore the patterns, attachment experiences, communication dynamics, and expectations that influence how you connect with others.
⟡ Systemic ⟡
Your experiences don't happen in a vacuum. Family, religion, culture, gender expectations, body norms, and other systems can shape how you understand yourself.
⟡ Collaborative ⟡
I'm not here to tell you who you should be or what your relationship should look like. We'll work together to understand what feels authentic, healthy, and meaningful to you.
⟡ Human ⟡
Therapy can be serious work, but I don't believe it has to feel cold or clinical. I bring warmth, humor, curiosity, and authenticity into the room.

My Story
I grew up in a rural, conservative Christian town in Texas, where sex was often framed as something to fear, avoid, or keep private.
As a naturally curious person, I wanted to understand the very things we were told not to think about, talk about, or explore. That curiosity became a lifelong interest in sexuality, relationships, and the ways our experiences shape how we understand ourselves.
My therapeutic career began at an advocacy center supporting children who had experienced abuse, much of it sexual in nature. That experience taught me the importance of safety, voice, and helping people reconnect with a sense of agency after experiences that made them feel powerless.
Over time, my work expanded to adults and couples navigating trauma, intimacy, sexuality, relationships, and desire.
Today, those threads come together in my practice. I'm especially interested in helping people untangle the messages they've inherited about sex, bodies, relationships, gender, and worth, and create something that feels more authentic to who they are now.
I don't expect you to arrive with everything figured out. I'm comfortable sitting in the messy middle with you.
When I’m Not Being Your Therapist…
Outside of session, I’m a wife, an eldest daughter, a friend, and a caretaker of two fur babies and far too many houseplants. I love to keep my mind active through crafts, reading, 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!
