Welcome

The Intimacy Institute for sex and relationship therapy.

We – Dr. Jenni Skyler and Daniel Lebowitz – are a husband and wife team offering relationship counseling and clinical sex therapy for over 14 years. We offer teletherapy services throughout the state of Colorado, in-person weekend intensives, and as well as online courses for couples and individuals.

At the Intimacy Institute, we are passionate about sexual health. It is our belief that sexual health is our birthright. As such, we help couples and individuals enhance and optimize sexual function, pleasure, and knowledge of human sexuality, both individually and in relationship.

At this time, we are not accepting new clients until 2025, but check out our online courses!

We are now offering in-person couples therapy in the Aspen, Colorado area. These sessions are for the motivated couple looking to do a multi-day deep dive. Please note that in-person intensives are similar to regular psychotherapy in a professional office space with talk-only approaches. 

For more information or to schedule, please email DrJenni@theintimacyinstitute.org or call 720-331-3354.

When it comes to sex, the most important six inches are the ones between the ears.

Our Mission

To give all people permission for pleasure by promoting sexual health and healing.

We offer comprehensive counseling, experiential education and culturally competent training services to help each client deepen their connections with themselves, their partners and their communities.

As seasoned sex therapists, we are clinically trained to provide the best in relationship counseling and sex therapy. Common concerns we address include erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, anorgasmia, painful intercourse, sexual desire discrepancy, out-of-control sexual behavior and finding a new normal after chronic illness.

In addition to exploring sexual health, we offer the best in couples therapy, utilizing a blended foundation in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Because sexual experiences often take place in the context of relationships, we feel it is essential to help clients emotionally enrich their relationships with themselves and their loved ones.

What is sex therapy and do I (we) need it?

  • Do you feel hopeless in a sexless relationship?

  • Do you struggle to obtain or maintain an erection with a partner?

  • Do you want to orgasm more easily?

  • Does your sexual over-activity jeopardize your relationship?

  • Do you ejaculate more quickly than you’d like?

  • Does your sexual past haunt your current life?

  • Do you want to find more meaningful and passionate ways to reconnect with your partner?

If you answered YES to any of the above, sex therapy is for you.

Online Counseling

when and where you need it

Sex therapy is a specialized area of psychotherapy. We offer teletherapy to individuals and couples. Virtual therapy is a great way to get the support you need from the comfort, privacy and safety of your own home.

Let’s talk about sex…

Tune in to Dr. Jenni’s Savvy Sex in 60 Seconds weekly video series on YouTube where she offers free advice on sexual health and sexuality, sponsored by Adam & Eve.

  • “Dr. Jenni is an incredibly effective therapist for my needs. She is able to help me think through and improve my relationships in romantic, social, and professional domains. She is also sensitive to alternative sexualities, and complicated relationships styles, making her a particularly effective therapist for me, but for anyone else too. Her familiarity with romance, sex, and relationships in all facets make her a wise, kind and courageous ally for whatever your journey might be.”

  • “I went to Daniel to help me deal with sexual issues that were unraveling my marriage. After working with him, I gained a clearer understanding of myself, which in turn led to a greater understanding of the relationship I have with my wife. The pessimism I harbored a year ago has given way to a new, optimistic chapter in our marriage. Furthermore, my increased self-confidence and self-awareness has provided opportunity in other aspects of my life, including my career. My sessions with Daniel have been such a worthwhile investment.”

  • “Dr. Jenni Skyler provided my husband and I with the resources and tools to be able to address body image issues within myself and with my husband. Through this process with my husband, we learned even more tools to better communicate and have a deeper understanding with each other and add more passion into our relationship. It also helped my husband gain a better understanding of the issues I was dealing with as a survivor. The knowledge and tools we discovered int he sessions helped us address issues immediately and in the long term.”

  • "Daniel, I just wanted to thank you for all the help you have given me. You are by far the best therapist that I have ever seen. You have gotten through to me in ways that no other therapist was able to do and have introduced me to new things that I would have never considered on my own. I greatly appreciate all that you have done for me.”

The Intimacy Institute firmly supports the World Health Organization stance on sexual health and sexual rights for all people. We advocate for a respectful, positive, and pleasure-informed approach to sexuality and relationships. As clinical sex therapists, we offer a nonjudgmental space for clients to speak freely and confidentially.
