Director – Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist

Intimate relationships bring joy and pain to each of us.  No deep partnership is without disappointments, confusion, and an experience of minor or major betrayals.  Yet these predictable challenges invite us to broaden our capacity for understanding and enter new depths of intimacy as we repair and heal. As a couples therapist with a focus on sexuality I believe that no matter what the difficulty, we can all reshape our relationships to have the kind of deep connections we yearn for.

I specialize in working with couples who are experiencing difficulties in intimacy. These disruptions often emerge from pre-existing patterns which undermine communication and sexual expression. Sexual difficulties are often driven by anxiety and shame that interrupts performance, pleasure or deep closeness. Communication struggles are shaped by our unique experience of attachment.  Attachment and sexuality are intertwined and form the foundation for deep intimacy. I help couples increase their understanding  of both and develop the new relationship skills to enhance communication, sexual expression  and the deep understanding.

Over the last 30 years I have helped couples, families and larger social systems discover new approaches to quickly solve previously insurmountable problems. In addition to my work with couples and families I have developed and led family therapy training and research programs in Massachusetts, Delaware and Maryland and assisted public and private health care systems to provide more effective, relationship focused treatment for their clients.

I believe deeply in the human ability to repair and heal. And it’s my experience that when we respond to a relationship challenge by seeking help we embrace our own important power of growth. My strength based, brief treatment approach is built on collaboration, curiosity, and humor. All three are key to creating your relational toolkit and deepening your ability to connect to others.

 

About Devin Rabas

Devin Rabas
Senior Clinician, LICSW

Trying to grow your family—or adjusting to life as new parents—can bring up a wide range of emotions: hope, excitement, grief, fear, and everything in between. Fertility challenges and the perinatal journey often affect more than the body; they can quietly reshape intimacy, turning connection into obligation, distance, or loss. These transitions can impact desire, communication, and emotional closeness between partners.

I support couples in navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum transitions, and perinatal loss, with a particular focus on how these experiences affect intimacy, sexual health, and relational connection. With advanced training in perinatal mental health, couples therapy, and sex therapy, my work helps couples make sense of these changes, reduce shame, and rebuild intimacy using evidence-based, trauma-informed, and relational approaches.

Therapy is not about “fixing” you or your relationship—it’s about creating space to understand what has shifted and how to move forward together.

My style is gentle and collaborative, grounded in the belief that no two journeys are the same. I strive to create a calm, compassionate space where clients feel safe to speak openly, feel understood, and begin finding their footing again. Together, we focus on what you’re carrying—whether anxiety, grief, sadness, or relational strain—and work toward healing at a pace that feels right.
