Dr. Kate Balestrieri

Dr. Kate Balestrieri is a licensed psychologist, certified sex therapist, and the founder of Modern Intimacy. She is also host of the Get Naked with Dr. Kate podcast.

Dr. Kate believes that everyone deserves a safe, empowered, and pleasurable relationship with sex. Driven by her desire to smash stigmas about mental health and sexuality, she created Modern Intimacy to provide a safe and inclusive space for people to get access to education about sensitive topics that people live with every day. Her mission is to help people move from a position of pain or discomfort to one of holistic, empowered, and thriving vitality.

Her continued clinical focus is to help people heal from trauma, recover from addictions, improve their relationships, establish healthy boundaries, build effective communication strategies, and improve their sex lives. She places extra emphasis on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations to help people integrate a complete mind and body experience.
