Please Note
Dr. Nicholas Balasis earned a Ph.D. in Communication and Culture in 2010, before continuing on to become a Psychotherapist. His first role as a therapist was working with a trained Sex Therapist. This peaked his interest in working with individuals and couples working through things like intimacy issues, performance anxiety, porn addication, etc. Nicholas also works with young adults navigating life pressures, and the challenges that come with living and dating in a digital first world.
