Sadé Ferrier, a licensed marriage and family therapist, a first-generation American and is proud of her Jamaican culture. She practices in the state of Georgia, and is also certified sex therapist through the Institute of Sexual Wholeness. She specializes in counseling couples through affair recovery, sexual dysfunctions, and communication issues.

The spark to her pursuit of the counseling field came from learning of vaginismus, a condition that creates painful penetration for women during intimacy. In treating women with vaginismus and low desire concerns, she finds deep meaning in being able to offer hope to hopeless couples. In the process, she works with couples to construct a satisfying version of emotional, spiritual, and sexual intimacy.
