WHAT IS SEATTLE INSTITUTE?

Founded in 1975, Seattle Institute for Sex Therapy, Education and Research operates on the principle that sexual energy is a positive expression of human life. We take a non-judgmental attitude toward the variety of expressions of sexual energy which are not self-destructive or exploitative of others. Our purpose is to assist people to explore and discover their own sexuality and to support them in finding ways to meet their needs. We serve a diverse group of women and men across traditional boundaries of sexual orientation and lifestyle. Counseling is available for heterosexual, lesbian, gay bisexual and transgender individuals and couples. All fees are negotiable, based on ability to pay.
