AASECT-certified sex therapist and LGBTQ+-owned practice operator Julia Schiffman holds her LCSW in Point Loma's Pechanga Arena corridor at 3146B Sports Arena Boulevard, specializing in sex therapy, couples counseling, and gender-and-sexually-diverse-population care. Her University of Michigan Sexual Health Certificate Program dual-track training in sex therapy and sexuality education supports clinical work with kink, BDSM, non-monogamy, and polyamorous relationship structures, a specialization that complements the relationship-focused modalities at Therapy-Connection in Point Loma. Schiffman earned her MSW from the University of Southern California and her bachelor's from the University of San Diego in theology and religious studies with an Eastern religion emphasis, grounding her psychodynamic framework in cross-cultural and philosophical study. Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and the Developmental Model anchor the couples-therapy protocols, while CBT and attachment-theory integration address individual trauma and anxiety presentations. Co-authorship of the book Women and Kink positions the practice as a research-informed resource for clients whose sexual identities intersect with trauma histories, a population also served by talk-therapy providers like Modern Counseling San Diego on the peninsula. The most clinically demanding cases involve multi-partner relational systems requiring concurrent individual and dyadic sessions across overlapping attachment injuries and consent-framework negotiations.
