You’re ready to stop shrinking to fit and start showing up as your full self while building connection and trust in your relationships.
Whether you're navigating conflict or wanting more intimacy, I help partners evolve together.
Reclaim your relationship with pleasure, embodiment, and authentic sexual expression.
A truly affirming space where all identities and relationship structures are welcomed.

A heart-centered approach to healing
I’m Katie Baptist, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist. My work is rooted in the belief that authentic relationships don’t require shrinking to fit.
HeartStory Counseling is gender inclusive, sex positive, kink affirming, and poly friendly. I welcome LGBTQIA+ clients and work with both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships.
Together, we’ll work with physiology, emotion, attachment, and communication to build real repair not just “agreements” that don’t stick.
Specialized therapy services
Growth-focused therapy that honors your individuality while building connection, trust, and authentic intimacy.
Navigate conflict, rebuild trust, and create deeper intimacy. I support partners in evolving into something more honest and connected.
Unlike many therapists, I have extensive sex therapy training. We can talk openly about desire, eroticism, and embodiment.
Personal growth work focused on authenticity, self-connection, and preparing for or healing from relationships.
At HeartStory, here is what we love
Let's prioritize pleasure. I'll help you tune into your sensual pleasure for a lifetime of embodied joyful touch.
Self-belonging. Freedom to choose your most authentic Yes and No, while respecting others' choices too.
True sovereignty and pleasure thrive with connected empathy, relational ethics, and good communication.
Find the pleasure path for your life and follow it. Let it reverberate healing back into your ancestor's wounds. Let it open you up and remind you that you are already whole.

Sex Therapy Client
Frequently Asked
Yes. I have specific training in supporting non-monogamous structures (CNM, polyamory) and kink/BDSM dynamics without judgment.
That’s completely normal. We move at your pace. Our first goal is always to build enough safety in the room so that you feel sovereign in what you choose to share.
Typically clients start weekly or bi-weekly to build momentum, though we customize frequency based on your specific needs and goals.
