Meet Eric Anfinson, MS LMFT
Welcome to Silverlight Therapy. I am Eric Anfinson, LMFT. I specialize in sex therapy, couples counseling, and trauma recovery. My approach is genuine, practical, and collaborative. We set clear goals, build new skills, and also work with the deeper patterns that keep you stuck so change lasts. I aim to create a safe, steady space where we can talk openly and move at a pace that protects your comfort and choice.

Sex Therapy
Couples Counseling
Our relationships should be a source of love and stability, yet many couples find themselves stuck in cycles of conflict or disconnection. In our work together, I help partners rebuild closeness, strengthen communication, and navigate challenges such as infidelity or lingering hurts from the past. Couples often come to therapy when they feel distant, when conflicts repeat without resolution, or when intimacy feels difficult to sustain. My goal is to help you understand and repair these patterns, while also building the trust and connection that allow for long-term, secure, and satisfying relationships.
Trauma and EMDR
Trauma can take many forms. For some it is a single impactful event, while for others it can be a systemic experience that unfolds in small ways over many years. Regardless of how it happens, trauma leaves us with core wounds that can affect every part of life. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help people process and heal trauma of all kinds. EMDR can also be a powerful tool for addressing sexual concerns, such as shame, fear, or negative beliefs, allowing you to move toward greater confidence and healthier intimacy.
Inclusive & Affirming Care
I bring both comfort and experience to my work with the LGBTQ+ community. My practice is intentionally inclusive of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship structures, as well as poly and kink communities. I strive to provide a space where your identity and experiences are affirmed and understood, while also recognizing that each person’s story is unique. Together, we’ll explore your concerns with respect, care, and the expertise that comes from supporting diverse communities.
Infidelity Recovery
Betrayal in a relationship can take many forms, including emotional or physical affairs, secrecy around pornography use, or breaches of trust with escorts or cam sites. No matter the form, the pain it creates is real and often overwhelming. In therapy, I help couples and individuals make sense of what happened, work through the crisis, and address the deeper patterns that led to the breach. Some partners choose to heal together and rebuild, while others use therapy to find clarity and move forward individually. My focus is always on restoring dignity, understanding, and the possibility of lasting change.
General Mental Health & Wellness
Sex therapy is a specialty on top of my general practice training, which means we can focus on sexual concerns or broaden our work to include other areas of your mental health. Many clients come in with a mix of needs, and I am comfortable supporting both. Alongside sex therapy, I provide care for anxiety, depression, stress management, and trauma, as well as everyday challenges like life transitions or relationship stress. Whether your goals are centered on intimacy, emotional well-being, or both, we can work together to create a path toward greater balance and resilience.
I am deeply passionate about my work and have always felt honored when people choose to share their pain with me so that I may be of some help. I always enjoy doing free 30 minutes consultations as it gives us a chance to get to know each other so you can see if it feels like the right fit for you. Don't hesitate to reach out for your free consultation- I look forward to meeting you!
Silverlight Therapy is an independent practice in partnership with Sexual Wellness Institute. This means you receive the personalized care of a solo practice with the added resources and support of a trusted, established clinic.
