The Studio for Sexual Health Wellness and Education, Inc is devoted to the promotion of sexual health by the development and advancement of the fields of sexual therapy, counseling, and education.

Vision of the Company
The Studio for Sexual Health Wellness and Education, Inc affirms the fundamental value of sexuality as an inherent, essential, and beneficial dimension of being human.
We accept as its mission to help people from all walks of life improve their important relationships, behavioral and mental health, as well as their individual lives by providing exemplary therapy, sexual health education, training to clinicians, and advancing the behavioral health field through research.
In general, we oppose all psychological, social, cultural, legislative, and governmental forces that would restrict, curtail, or interfere with the fundamental values of sexual health and sexual freedom that we espouse.
The studio also opposes all abuses of sexuality, including, but not limited to, harassment, intimidation, coercion, prejudice, and the infringement of any individual’s sexual and civil rights.
We further believe that opportunities for sexual healing should be accessible to every individual interested in furthering their capacity for erotic pleasure as well as for gratifying emotional relationships, and that such services should be provided in a manner that secures the client’s or patient’s privacy, confidentiality, and self-respect.
Therefore, the Studio for Sexual Health Wellness and Education, Inc agrees with those social, cultural, political, and economic changes that expand and extend the availability of the highest quality of clinical services in sexual and behavioral health.
We recognize the many varieties of sexuality, including, but not limited to, the full range of sexual orientations, gender, transgender, and intersex positions, as well as erotic preferences and lifestyles.
We recognize that there is an urgent need for comprehensive education about sexual health to be made available to all peoples, and advocates for social, cultural, political, and economic change to expand and extend the availability of quality education in sexual health.
We believe that all individuals should be supported in seeking and finding opportunities to pursue an overall healthy and happy life of their own choosing.
