Where they practice
Every partner is pinned on the map. Tap a pin for their address and directions. Pins marked “approximate” show the city or hospital campus rather than the exact suite.
We refer, we do not receive payment for referrals, and you are never obligated to see anyone on this list. Booking with a partner practice is between you and them — please confirm insurance, fees and availability directly.

How to use this list
- Pick the piece that matches what you are noticing. Pain with sex, leaking or postpartum symptoms usually start with pelvic floor physical therapy. Erection changes, low desire tied to hormones, or fertility questions usually start with urology or men’s health. Bleeding, menopause symptoms or vulvar pain usually start with an OB/GYN or women’s health provider. Use the filters above to narrow the list.
- Call or use their contact form — you do not need a referral letter from us. Every practice here takes new patients directly.
- Say this when you call.
“Hi, I’d like to schedule a new patient appointment. I’m working with a sex therapist, Vanessa Cushing at Cushing Counseling, and she suggested a medical evaluation for [pain with sex / erection changes / pelvic floor symptoms]. Do you see patients for that, and what is your first available appointment?”
- Ask these four questions before you book.
- Are you in network with my insurance — and if not, do you provide a superbill I can submit for out-of-network reimbursement?
- What will the first visit cost me out of pocket, including any labs, imaging or procedures?
- How long is the wait for a new patient appointment, and do you have a cancellation list?
- Is the first visit in person or by video, and do I need anything beforehand (records, labs, a symptom log)?
- Write down the date and bring it to session. If the wait is long, tell us — we can often suggest someone else on this list who is booking sooner.
- If it is not the right fit, come back. A provider being on this list does not obligate you to stay with them. Tell us what happened and we will help you find another door.
What happens when you are referred
Nothing leaves this office without your written permission. A referral here means we hand you a name and a reason — you decide whether to call. If you would like us to coordinate with your provider, you sign a release naming that specific person and what may be discussed, and you can withdraw it at any time. Without that release we do not confirm you are a client, share notes, or contact them on your behalf.
When you do sign one, coordination is usually simple and brief: a short note about what we are working on together and what we are watching for. Your therapy content stays yours; medical and pelvic floor findings that shape your care get shared both ways so you are not left carrying the message between offices.
Know someone who belongs on this list?
If a provider has taken good care of you — here or anywhere we are licensed — tell us. We meet with every clinician before we add them, and some of the best people on this page came to us as a client recommendation.
Not sure who you need first?
That is a normal place to start. In a free consultation we can talk through what you are noticing and whether a medical or pelvic floor evaluation belongs alongside therapy.
Are you looking to become a referral partner with Cushing Counseling?
We are always glad to meet clinicians who care for the same clients we do. Schedule a call with our founder, Vanessa Cushing, LPC, NCC, MS, and let's talk about how we can support your patients together.
