Rewriting Sexual Scripts with Lena Elkhatib
Friday Jul 17, 2020
Friday Jul 17, 2020
Lena Elkhatib is "a relationship and sex therapist practicing at Essentia Therapy, my private practice in Chicago, Illinois. But the reality is, I bring many other identities into my work: Career changer, creative, partner, parent, Arab-American, Muslim woman, 3rd culture kid, Unicorn and Dragon Aficionado. All the aspects of who I am shape my mission: To work with people through curiosity, compassion and creativity to explore, challenge and REWRITE the sexual scripts that they have inherited that don’t quite mesh with who they are and what they want."
