About Adrian Scharfetter

I’m Dr. Adrian Scharfetter

I work with individuals and couples at the intersection of intimacy, sexuality, and relationship repair.

My practice is designed for clients who want thoughtful, specialized support with the kinds of issues many therapists are not deeply trained to treat: desire discrepancy, performance anxiety, sexual shame, erotic disconnection, betrayal-related rupture, and the complex emotional patterns that live underneath them.

I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, and Certified Sex Therapy Supervisor, offering online therapy throughout California.

What Sets My Work Apart

Specialized Expertise: As an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist, I have advanced training that most therapists don't. This means I can address sexual and intimacy concerns with depth, nuance, and clinical skill.

Flexible Formats: Beyond traditional weekly therapy, I offer Couples Intensives (3-hour, 6-hour, and multi-day sessions) for those seeking concentrated, transformative work. I also provide Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP) for individuals and couples interested in deeper therapeutic exploration.

You're Seen as a Whole Person: Not a diagnosis, not a problem to fix, a whole, complex human being deserving of compassionate, personalized care.

You don't need permission to want more from your sexual or relational life.

But if you're waiting for a sign, this is it.

You don't need to have it all figured out. You don't need to be "bad enough." You just need to be ready for something to shift.

Start with a free consultation. See if it feels right. Take it from there.

The only thing you risk is staying stuck.
