Littleton Couples Counseling is different Create a fun, playful, and lighthearted sexual relationship for you and your partner.
Connection, communication, intimacy, and sex are the core of our human experience. When things aren’t working in this realm of our lives, it has a profound impact on the overall quality of our entire life. Littleton Couples Counseling believes in a holistic approach to brain-body mental and emotional health, understanding that the body remembers events and feelings long after the mind has forgotten. Our counseling center is one of the few that integrates Reiki, pelvic PT, psychopharmacology and ASL/sign-language counseling in addition to couples counseling, sex therapy, individual therapy and adult ADHD and autism coaching for communication, relationships, and sex. We even have a gynecologist in residence to assist with female sexual health. Our psychiatric nurse practitioner is fully-versed in ADHD and provides our clients with medication management.
Our providers work with individuals and couples in all relationship structures including traditional relationships, open relationships, ethical non-monogamous relationships and consensual non-monogamous relationships, poly relationships, swinging and lifestyle relationships, monogamous relationships, casual relationships, and/or long-term relationships. Our providers are kink-positive, poly-positive, and swinger-positive and work from a position of judgment-free therapy and shame-free therapy. Littleton Couples Counseling clinicians understand and work with trauma, sexual trauma, religious trauma, religious sexual trauma, and faith crisis counseling and are sensitive to the beliefs of individual faiths and cultures.
Littleton Couples Counseling offers both in-office/in-person and Zoom/teletherapy counseling appointments to accommodate your busy schedule, with offices both in Littleton and in DTC.

Chris Wilhoite LMFT is an accomplished sex therapist who provides couples counseling in Littleton and surrounding communities to help couples express their sexuality together in a genuine and authentic manner. She helps individuals develop loving, secure, and confident relationships. Marriage counseling, couples counseling, and sex therapy can improve and strengthen your relationship.
Most clinicians are not trained to effectively work with adult ADHD or autism. Tommy Underhill is our adult ADHD and autism coach. Adults with autism and ADHD often face a different world than others.
All individuals have particular goals and needs. Every couple is different in how they need to address their sexuality to grow closer. Chris has received training in EFT (Emotionally-Focused Therapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Our clinicians are experienced in guiding individuals and couples as they work through a variety of struggles:
Building trust
Trust is like a marble jar: it can take a long time to fill and one action to empty. We help you come together to (re)build trust.
Intimacy & attachment
Intimacy and attachment set the foundation for the relationship. Honesty, sensitivity, and communication foster intimacy.
Body image
Our society fosters an unhealthy view of our bodies— for both men and women. We help you see yourself in a healthy view.
Women’s Sexual trauma
Sexual trauma is a broad term that refers to more than just rape, incest, child sexual molestation, or intimate partner violence. Sexual trauma often gets in the way of fulfilling closeness and intimacy.
Sexuality & Religion
Religion can play a restrictive role in sexual desire and expression. We help you redefine your sexual rules and rewrite your sexual narrative.
Low libido or sex drive
In the early days, it was just you and your partner. Then came the kids and making time for—and with—each other became more difficult. Re-establish your boundaries and provide a framework to protect and nurture your relationship.
Adult ADHD/ADD Relationships
Relationships with partners with Adult ADHD or ADD can have different rules than with neurotypical folks.
Mismatched sexual desire
Mismatched sexual desires can lead to struggles down the road. We foster communication to help bring each of you closer together.
Couples & Technology
Technology, television, Netflix, social media, and video games can intrude into a relationship and partially or completely displace a partner.
Pelvic pain
There can be many causes of pelvic pain. Some can be resolved with pelvic floor PT, others with psychotherapy. We help discover why it hurts.
Orgasm difficulty
Sex is a journey, not a destination. We help you slow down and enjoy the moment. Performance pressure can ruin your connection with your partner.
Erectile issues
When sex becomes an item on the to-do list, it’s time to revisit the foundations of what attracts you to your partner.
Differences in libido
Libido naturally ebbs and flows. Differences in libido can cause frustration or resentment. We offer a safe place to talk about wants and needs.
Polyamory
Poly is more than just wanting to have extra relationship sex. Working with a poly-aware therapist can help navigate the relationships.
Monogamish relationships
Partners have agreed to a mostly exclusive relationship, but with flexible boundaries that allow for connections outside the relationship occasionally.
Kink & BDSM
A kink-aware therapist will help you enjoy the relationship you negotiate without fear of shame.
Erectile dysfunction
ED can originate from many different places. Before you turn to a pill, we discuss the potential causes and solutions.
