Welcome to Caitlin’s Couch, your go-to spot for the relationship & sex education you didn’t know you needed. Healthy relationships require healthy relational skills, but none of us were taught how to have healthy relationships, so it’s no wonder they seem so difficult.

That’s where this newsletter comes in. Through Caitlin’s Couch, I teach you the skills to create healthy, nourishing relationships. Most people don’t realize relationship skills can be taught. They look to the past to discover why they are the way they are; they try to heal old wounds and work to elevate their self-esteem. That work is vital. However, it doesn’t lead to healthier relationships. The only way to create healthier relationships is to learn new relational skills, which you’ll learn through this Substack.

I used to be relationally clueless. I worried I didn’t deserve the love I wanted. I felt like something was wrong with me because relationships were so hard. I had no idea I didn’t have the relational skills I needed, and I didn’t know you could be taught how to create healthy relationships. Once I learned how to be relational, everything changed. Not only was I equipped with the skills to create the kind of relationships I always wanted, but my relationship with myself transformed, too. Unfortunately, finding the right help was incredibly hard. That’s why I created Caitlin’s Couch in addition to my therapy practice. I want access to relationship education to be easy, so people don’t have to suffer in painful relationships for as long as I did.

I’m on a mission to share everything I know about healthy relationships, creating a life you love, and true self-worth with anyone who wants to learn. Everyone deserves to know how to create healthy relationships because, as Sex Therapist Esther Perel has said, “the quality of our lives depends on the quality of our relationships”.

A bit about me professionally…

Hi! I’m Caitlin Cantor. It’s so lovely to meet you! I’m an Individual, Couples, and Sex Therapist with a thriving therapy practice in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In addition to being a Licensed Therapist, I’m also a Certified Gestalt Therapist and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist—one of only 1,000 in the entire world. That means I’ve spent a lot of time studying, training, and working to become a Relationship Expert and Sexpert.

In addition to this Substack, I write a blog for Psychology Today called, Modern Sex: Dating and Mating in a Complex World. I’ve been featured in Cosmopolitan, Hustler Magazine, Medium, Very Well Mind, Sexual Health Magazine, Women’s Health, and CNN.

A bit about me personally…

In addition to being a Therapist, I’m also a wife, a mom, a writer, a yogi, a hiker, an adventurer, and a forever student. I love reading, learning, traveling, animals, sushi, chocolate, trying new things, writing, and pushing my comfort zone. I have two cats, two dogs, a husband, and an incredible 6-year-old daughter. I live at the Jersey Shore, and if you’ve made it this far, thank you for taking the time to get to know me! I can’t wait to get to know you, too!
