Marina Stanton, LMFT and Certified Sex Therapist Specializing in Real Talk about Relationships
Expert Relationship Speaker on Building Stronger Relationships, Sex, and Marriage
You're looking for a speaker who can talk to your group about sex, marriage, and relationships in a way that is engaging, research-based, and actually helpful. Maybe you've contacted local therapists or educators, but their presentations felt too clinical, outdated, or hard to follow. You want someone who brings both credibility and connection—someone who can handle sensitive topics with clarity, warmth, and just the right amount of humor.
Hi, I’m Marina Stanton, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist. I specialize in making uncomfortable conversations feel approachable and real. Whether I’m speaking to a MOPS group, leading a church retreat, or presenting at a community event, I break down complex topics like sexual health, intimacy, and communication so your audience walks away feeling empowered, informed, and ready to create healthier relationships.
Why Choose Me as Your Relationship Speaker?
Relatable and Approachable
As a certified sex therapist and marriage counselor, I specialize in making sensitive topics feel safe, accessible, and even fun. I use down-to-earth language and real-world examples that your audience can immediately connect with—whether we’re talking about intimacy, desire, communication, or sexual health. My “superpower” is translating therapy-speak into conversations that feel engaging and applicable, no matter the audience.
Research-Backed & Relevant
Every talk is grounded in the latest clinical research on relationships, sexuality, and mental health. Whether your audience is faith-based, conservative, or just curious, I customize each presentation to reflect your group’s values and needs—so it never feels like a generic lecture.
Engaging and Conversational
My talks are interactive and participatory—I don’t just talk at an audience. I create space for honest conversation, invite meaningful input, and encourage reflection and laughter along the way. The goal isn’t just to inform, but to move peopletoward real change.
Versatile Experience
From intimate women’s nights to large church retreats, I’ve served as a relationship and sex therapist speaker for MOPS groups, religious gatherings, professional trainings, and international online events. I'm comfortable speaking in both faith-based and secular settings, and I know how to navigate tough topics with both warmth and clarity.
Empowering Message
At the heart of every presentation is a message of hope, growth, and reconnection. My goal is to help attendees feel seen, supported, and inspired to take meaningful steps toward healthier relationships and a more confident sex life. Whether you're looking for a speaker on sex therapy, marriage counseling, or emotional intimacy, I’ll show up with heart, humor, and substance.
Practical Takeaways Included
Every talk comes with thoughtfully designed handouts or free digital downloads tailored to the topic we’re covering. Whether it’s a conversation guide, reflection worksheet, or resource list, I want your audience to leave with something they can use—not just think about.
