Welcome

Welcome to Resilient Intimacy! I am Kori Hennessy, practice founder. I established this therapy practice to bring trauma informed couples and sex therapy to as many people as I am able. I am passionate about my work, and any therapist who joins my practice is also passionate about helping people experience more joy and less suffering. What is my vision? A world with more relational connection, deeper intimacy and less violence.

Human beings are born moving towards connection. We need physical touch and the warmth of another human being to survive infancy. We still need human connections as adults. Without healthy connections, we lose connection to our own humanity and sense of safety in the world. Without safety and connection, we don’t experience joy or pleasure which leads to a plethora of individual, relational and societal mental and emotional concerns.

Traumatic events such as sexual violence, childhood neglect and abuse, loss of a loved one and witnessing violence impact our sense of safety in the world and in relationship. This can cause difficulty maintaining or creating healthy connections. Often times, the adults who raised us didn’t have the information or opportunity to heal their own trauma and pass down coping strategies that don’t prioritize connection. My therapy practice centers around exploring meaning, changing unhelpful relationship patterns and healing our nervous systems so that we can move toward relationship in healthy and effective ways.

With any therapist you work with at Resilient Intimacy, you will always find an open and accepting space. Therapists who work with me are LGBTQI+ affirming, non-monogamy and kink aware, sex worker allied, anti-racist and trauma informed.

We are here to listen, affirm and help guide you toward a healthy, happier and more joy filled life. Welcome to therapy. We are so glad you’re here!
