Welcome to
Intimate Wellness with Shae
*Sex Therapy & Sex Coaching*
I help adults who’ve experienced sexual trauma reconnect with their bodies, reclaim a sense of safety, and rediscover intimacy on their own terms.
I support couples in overcoming barriers to intimacy and strengthening their emotional and sexual connection—creating a more satisfying, secure, and fulfilling sex life together.
Shae Allen
LPC, Certified SexTherapist & Sex Coach
Welcome to Intimate Wellness With Shae!
I'm Shae, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the Dallas - Fort Worth, Texas area, but I serve therapy clients all over the state of Texas and coaching clients all over the WORLD!
More specifically, I am a Certified Sex Therapist (CST), a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), I'm trained in EMDR (eye movement desensitization & reprocessing) therapy, and I'm also a Sex Coach. I am a graduate of Amberton University, with a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling. I specialize in sex therapy and received my certification from the International Institute of Clinical Sexology. I attended the institute also in pursuit of my PhD in Sexology with a focus on addiction, and I've completed all but the dissertation.
As a certified sex therapist, I have extensive experience in couples sex therapy, trauma counseling, sex/pornography addiction counseling (addict and partner), general sexual issues, mental health/individual counseling, crisis counseling, and I have worked with active military personnel, veterans, and first responders.
I work with couples whose sex lives have fallen short of their expectations, and that have become that 90% issue in the relationship instead of the easy and fun part. I also work with individuals who have been through sexually traumatic experiences and help them through the emotional and physical pain that follows.
I recently launched my Sex Coaching program - Shae Reid Sex Coaching - to be able to help more individuals and couples around the country and the world! Check out the programs, courses, and downloadable workbook I currently offer here.
“Sexual intimacy is a relationship, not just body parts coming together. The more comfortable you are with each other outside the bedroom; the easier it is to relax and the sweeter the intimacy.”

Working with Shae
Talking about sex, intimacy, relationships, and trauma can feel incredibly vulnerable—that's why I prioritize creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and never judged. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to be completely yourself, which is why I strive to create a warm, welcoming, sex-positive environment where your whole, authentic self is accepted.
I'm trauma-informed, collaborative, and direct, but always with compassion. I'll challenge you when it serves your growth, celebrate your wins, and help you navigate the hard stuff with honesty, empathy, and evidence-based care. We'll move at your pace because therapy is something we do together—not something I do to you.
I also believe healing doesn't have to be serious every second of the day, so don't be surprised if we laugh together. I cuss a little, make jokes, appreciate individuality, and believe therapy should feel genuine—not overly clinical.
Most of all, I'm human too. While I bring years of training and expertise into our work together, I also know what it means to face life's challenges, experience grief, and navigate difficult seasons. You won't find perfection here—you'll find someone who genuinely cares and is honored to walk alongside you as you heal.
If you're ready to do the hard work of creating meaningful change, I'd love to help.

Therapy & Coaching Services Offered by Shae
Sex Coaching
Sometimes, sex can make or break a relationship! But what most people don't consider is that it's more than just the physical act of having sex; that just becomes the big elephant in the room. Whether you're a woman who has survived trauma trying to revive your sex life, or a couple struggling with sex & intimacy, I have a program to help you live your best sex life again (or for the first time)!
Trauma Therapy
We frequently walk through life with pieces of our past hanging around without our full comprehension. At some point in our lives, everyone experiences some level of trauma whether it's "big T or little T" and these experiences can impact us for years to come. By utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) we can start to heal any lingering wounds at a more accelerated rate than traditional talk therapy.
SexTherapy
Sex is an important part of many couples' and individuals' lives. However, there are times that we aren't able to accomplish what we set out to do. Whether we are lacking intimacy, dealing with sex or porn addiction, experiencing pain during sex, or struggling with past traumatic experiences, with sex therapy interventions we are able to get to the root of the struggles that you're experiencing and begin the healing process.
