We all crave closeness—but not everyone knows how to ask for it. For some, s*x becomes the language they use when talking about feelings feels challenging.

In times of conflict, some partners use s*x to feel close. For some, physical connection feels safer than emotional intimacy.

Practice Owner: Haleigh Scherma, MS, NCC, CCMHC, LPCC

Haleigh is a Certified EFT Therapist who works with couples in West LA and the surrounding area. She is also supervises many of the therapists in this area in her role as a Certified EFT Supervisor. She continues to stay active with the community in her position as a board member for the Los Angeles Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy.

As a whole, Haleigh thrives working with big emotions and difficult topics. Growing up as an only child with parents in a very turbulent marriage, she got comfortable with reactivity. She uses this unique tolerance to her advantage and prefers to work with couples struggling with trauma, anger and s*xual issues. There's nothing too big or scary to tackle.

She grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, where, after college, she worked as a social worker providing in-home community psychiatric support treatment for inner city children and families. There, she realized there are some big systemic roadblocks on both micro and macro levels for children. She found it most effective to work in these systems as much as possible rather than with each person individually. It was here she found her passion for couples and relational work.

From there, she pursued a masters program from one of the nations leading graduate counseling schools, The University of North Carolina Greensboro, and specialized in couples and family counseling. After interning at HIV/AIDS group treatment center, she solidified her desire for working with couples and families with s*xual and intimacy issues.
