Kimberly Castelo, founder of Healing Moments Counseling, is an ICEEFT Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist and an AASECT Certified S*x Therapist. Along with this, she is a Certified Integrated Intimacy Professional, allowing her to work with clients on s*xuality and spirituality and the shame that sometimes comes with it. She is a wife, a parent to a wonderful daughter, an animal lover, and an overachieving city AND country girl (the best of both worlds, right?). She loves to laugh and refuses to take herself too seriously in this chaotic world. Kimberly loves deeply and takes her social justice work very seriously. Kimberly wholeheartedly supports the LGBTQIA+ community and is always looking for new ways to celebrate and be an advocate for this community, along with other marginalized communities. To Kimberly, life is a collection of moments that have the potential to heal our hearts and minds and bring more unity, both within ourselves and with others around us. Connection is necessary for a happy and healthy life, and that connection starts with you.

Many therapists are trained in attachment.
Many are trained in s*x therapy.

But very few trainings teach how to integrate the two.

And that’s where some of the deepest relationship healing actually happens.

When clients struggle with intimacy, desire differences, s*xual disconnection, or recurring relationship conflict, the root often isn’t just about s*x… and it isn’t just about communication.

It’s about attachment needs showing up inside s*xual connection.

When therapists understand how attachment dynamics shape s*xual experiences, they can help couples move beyond surface-level solutions and into real relational repair, safety, and intimacy.

This training is designed to help you:
✨ Understand the attachment system within s*xual relationships
✨ Recognize how s*xual patterns connect to emotional bonds
✨ Support couples in healing both emotionally and s*xually

If you want to deepen your clinical work and help couples experience lasting connection, safety, and intimacy, this training is for you.

Join therapists from around the world who are learning how to bring attachment work and s*x therapy together in powerful ways.

Enrollment is open now.

Love languages tell us how we like to receive love. But attachment languages tell us why we push love away—or cling too tight.
🔹 Anxious Attachment: “I need constant reassurance to feel safe.”
🔹 Avoidant Attachment: “I crave closeness but fear losing myself.”
🔹 Disorganized Attachment: “Love feels both safe and dangerous.”
🔹 Secure Attachment: “I trust that love is consistent.”

From our therapists, here are tips for creating healthy love. Swipe left to see them all.

Secure love isn’t something you stumble into. It’s something you practice — together.

You already know how to sit with grief.
With trauma.
With the ache of attachment wounds.

You know how to slow a room down when emotions rise.

Now imagine bringing that same steadiness into conversations about s*x.

Not awkward.
Not avoidant.
Not tiptoeing.

But grounded. Regulated. Attachment-informed. Confident.

S*xuality is often where attachment injuries echo the loudest — and where couples feel the most shame, shutdown, or conflict. When you can help clients feel emotionally safe and erotically seen, you transform the depth of your work.

The Certified Attachment S*x Therapist Program through Modern S*x Therapy Institutes is designed for therapists who are ready to integrate attachment science with s*xuality in a way that feels ethical, embodied, and clinically solid.

This is your invitation to expand your scope with integrity — and serve clients across cultures, identities, and relationships worldwide.

Therapists from around the globe are enrolling.

If you feel the nudge, trust it.

Step into the room fully.

You don’t have to keep doing this alone.

If you’ve been holding it together on the outside…
while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck on the inside — this is your invitation.

Dr. Celeste creates a space where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself perfectly, or rush past your feelings. You get to slow down. You get to be honest. You get to be met where you're at.

As a therapist practicing from an Emotionally Focused Therapy lens, she helps you:
• Understand your emotional patterns
• Feel safer in vulnerability
• Strengthen the bonds that matter most
• Build more secure, connected relationships

Healing doesn’t happen through advice or quick fixes.
It happens when you feel deeply seen — and supported as you turn inward.

If something in this video resonated, trust that nudge.

Schedule your first session with Dr. Celeste and begin building the kind of connection you’ve been longing for.

Let’s be honest…

Most therapists weren’t actually trained to talk about s*x.

So when couples bring in desire discrepancies, shutdown during intimacy, shame, betrayal, performance anxiety, or erotic disconnection — the room can suddenly feel tight. Avoidant. Skipped over.

S*x and attachment are deeply intertwined. If we can track protest, withdrawal, shame, longing, and safety in conflict — we can track it in the erotic bond too.

And that changes everything.

The CAST Program is where attachment meets eroticism.
Where you learn how to hold s*xual conversations with clarity, confidence, and clinical depth — instead of sidestepping them.

If you’re ready to stop avoiding and start leading these conversations with skill, this is your next step. Enroll today.

What if the distance between you isn’t about love… but about feeling unheard?

Most couples don’t struggle because they don’t care.
They struggle because they’re stuck in patterns that leave both partners feeling alone, defensive, or misunderstood.

At Healing Moments Counseling, we help couples:

• Strengthen communication & rebuild emotional safety
• Break painful conflict cycles
• Restore emotional and s*xual intimacy
• Navigate trust ruptures, life transitions, and ongoing stress

Relationship therapy isn’t about choosing sides.
It’s about slowing the moment down, understanding what’s happening underneath, and learning how to reach for each other in a new way.

Secure love isn’t something you stumble into.
It’s something you intentionally build.

If you’re ready to feel closer, safer, and more connected — we’re here to guide you back to each other.

Book your session today.

What happens in the emotional bond doesn’t stay outside the bedroom — it travels with us.

Attachment patterns shape how we seek closeness, how we respond to vulnerability, and how safe it feels to be seen erotically. When we understand that intersection, we move beyond symptom-management and into deeper, attuned care that supports both connection and desire.

The CAST program invites clinicians into that space — expanding clinical language, deepening confidence, and equipping you to guide clients toward more secure, embodied erotic connection.

If this is work you feel drawn toward, consider taking the next step in your professional growth.
