Today we’d like to introduce you to Camille Espinoza.
Hi Camille, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I founded the Center for Intimacy and Relationships to help people create true connection in their lives. We know that relationships and sexuality are critical to our health and happiness, yet there is little support for them. As a certified sex therapist, I see people every day who simply need a place to talk about the uncomfortable issues with someone who gets it. So I created a psychotherapy practice to do just that.
Each and every day, I am astounded by the bravery of my clients. It’s not easy sitting on the therapy couch, talking to a stranger. Getting to hear their stories, and share in their highs and lows – it’s simply the greatest job in the world and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The biggest challenge with any business is finding the right people, and then giving them what they need to succeed. That goes for both our therapists and our clients. We go to extraordinary lengths to match clients with the right therapist to help them grow, heal, and reach their goals. It’s all about fit. Then, once you find that fit, it’s about supporting that therapeutic relationship to its fullest potential.
In session, we often see people who are very successful in their careers but feel stuck when it comes to sex or relationships. A few of the things people get stuck with are anxiety about sex, experiencing low desire, navigating libido mismatch within a partnership, or simply routine communication problems. This can be particularly frustrating for people who are used to achieving through a clear path forward to success. This is why we focus on specific tools and resources to help people get unstuck.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about The Center for Intimacy and Relationships?

We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
Growing up, as a child and a teenager, I was always the listener of the group. Looking back, I was like a junior therapist in training. Maybe it was meant to be!
