Sean Orpen Therapy

Sex Therapist Bellevue | Bellevue Couples Counseling | Marriage Therapy in Bellevue

Sex and relationships can feel confusing, even when everything else in life is dialed in. If you’re in Bellevue and looking for a thoughtful space to explore your questions about intimacy, connection, or desire—you’re in the right place. I'm a sex therapist working with people who want more out of their relationships and personal growth. Many of my clients are thoughtful, curious, and ready to look at things differently. Therapy with me is a collaborative process—we move at your pace, with depth and care.

I offer support to clients who are navigating identity, recovering from emotional wounds, or simply ready to connect more fully with themselves and others. Therapy creates the space to rework old dynamics, foster emotional intimacy, and practice showing up with greater presence and honesty.

Who I Work With

I work with a wide range of individuals and couples—professionals, creatives, parents, healers, and partners navigating real-life challenges. You might be feeling stuck in patterns that once made sense but no longer fit. Maybe you're navigating burnout, relationship tension, or questions about your sexuality or identity. You're likely someone who thinks deeply, shows up for others, and is looking for more clarity and ease in your emotional and intimate life.

This work isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about deepening your relationship with yourself, so that you can engage more fully with the people and priorities that matter most to you.

Therapy Services in Bellevue

Sex Therapy

We’ll explore what's shaping your experience of sexuality—your history, beliefs, and desires. Sessions are a space to untangle what's getting in the way and to build a more connected, affirming relationship with your erotic self.

Through this work, clients often find a renewed sense of intimacy, clarity around boundaries, and freedom from long-held sexual shame.

Couples Therapy

I help couples have better conversations around intimacy, boundaries, and desire. Whether you're navigating disconnection, different libidos, or big decisions about the future—we’ll work together to foster mutual understanding and connection.

My goal is to help you reconnect as teammates—not just troubleshoot problems, but build something strong, conscious, and emotionally sustainable.

Individual Therapy

If you’re someone who gives a lot to others or feels pressure to keep it all together, individual therapy can be a place to land. We’ll focus on what matters most to you—whether that’s reducing anxiety, rebuilding your sense of self, or reconnecting to meaning and purpose.

We can explore patterns that are no longer serving you and develop tools that reflect your values, identity, and inner resources.

Let’s make space for what really matters.

Schedule a consultation and begin your journey toward more clarity, connection, and emotional presence. Your story deserves room to unfold.

Common Concerns

• Mismatched desire or emotional distance in relationships
• Sexual shame or identity confusion
• Anxiety, burnout, or difficulty setting boundaries
• Recovering from sexual or relational trauma
• Navigating open relationships or nontraditional dynamics
• Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or misunderstood
• Struggling to reconcile past experiences with present desires

What Therapy Feels Like

Therapy with me is structured, courageous, and rooted in respect for complexity—not clichés. I don’t offer band-aid solutions or soft platitudes. Instead, I help clients name what they truly want, make space for the tension of that desire, and build the emotional skill to live it.

This isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about reclaiming the parts of you that already know how to love, feel, and lead. It’s about creating room for the contradictions, the courage, and the care required to live your truth.

Sessions may feel reflective, clarifying, and occasionally challenging—but always with the intention of fostering deeper connection and integration. Many clients say they leave sessions feeling more centered, less alone, and more capable of navigating their relationships and internal world.
