Sex and Relationship Therapy in West Los Angeles, Orange County & Online Throughout California
Meet Dr. Rossana Sida
Growing up, open conversations about bodies and sex were normal in my home, thanks to my mom’s honesty about her own experience as a young parent. That comfort stayed with me and shaped my curiosity about how people relate and connect. I started my career in fashion, managing teams in cities across the world, but it wasn’t until I volunteered at a rape crisis center that I realized I wanted to do something more meaningful. Supporting survivors led me to therapy, where I found my true path. Today, I bring that same openness and curiosity to my work as a sex therapist and supervisor, helping clients and my team talk freely, feel at ease, and move toward lasting confidence and connection.
What I Do
I help individuals and couples who want more from their relationships and sex lives. Whether you’re struggling with desire differences, working through infidelity, healing from trauma, or just want deeper connection, I offer practical solutions that fit your goals and your life. Clients describe me as warm, straightforward, and empowering. My goal is to help you build the confidence, skills, and self-understanding you need to make real, lasting change.
My Approach
I draw on Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brief Psychodynamic Therapy, Collaborative Therapy, and Existential-Humanistic Therapy. Every strategy is tailored to your needs, personality, and goals. I believe therapy works best when it’s collaborative and comfortable, and I always work from a sex-positive perspective.
Leadership and Team
As an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapy Supervisor and Clinical Director at Togetherness Therapy, I train and support a hand-picked team of dedicated clinicians. We are united by a passion for sex-positive, compassionate care and ongoing education in our field. When you work with us, you can expect expertise, understanding, and guidance that meets you where you are.
