I work with individuals and couples who are seeking to heal from sexual shame, anxiety, pain, or trauma. Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of a painful experience, feeling disconnected from your body, or carrying the weight of cultural or religious shame, you are not alone.

My clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, confused, or stuck, longing for a more peaceful, empowered, and pleasurable relationship with their sexuality. I specialize in creating a safe, supportive space to explore these deeply personal topics with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based care.

Why Invite Holly Nelson as a Guest?

I’m a great guest because I bring a rare mix of clinical expertise, real-world experience, and the ability to talk about sex and trauma in a way that feels safe, human, and even a little funny when it needs to be. As a sex therapist and EMDR-certified trauma specialist, I help people move through the shame, anxiety, and pain that keep them disconnected from themselves and their relationships. What makes my approach unique is that I don’t shy away from the hard stuff, but I also don’t make it heavy all the time. I’ve had audiences tell me they finally felt seen, heard, and hopeful after hearing me speak. Whether we’re talking about the impact of religious shame, the science of arousal, or how to actually enjoy sex again after trauma, I meet people where they’re at—with compassion, clarity, and just enough humor to make it stick.
