Dr Gina Senarighi, PhD, CPC, is a certified relationship coach, retreat leader, speaker, and author specializing in human connection, intimacy, trust, shame-resilience, and alternative relationships.  For over twelve years she's supported hundreds of clients creating fulfilling integrity-based relationships according to their own rules. 

She earned her Master of Arts degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2010 from Saybrook University. She received her Bachelor degree in Education from the University of Wisconsin in 2002 and a Masters of Science in Education with a minor in Human Sexuality from Indiana University in 2004.

Gina was named Portland’s Best Life Coach in 2019 by Portland Business Recognition and has taught psychology courses, communication workshops, couples intimacy retreats, and guest lectured on alternative relationships and sex-positive therapy at universities across the US. Students love her no nonsense “real talk” presentation style.

Gina knows with better relationship and sex education we’d build a more compassionate, creative, confident, and fulfilled society.  She believes we are entitled to desire and we all need meaningfully connected relationships to thrive. She knows all relationships need a tune-up from time to time and has been praised by clients for her friendly non-judgmental approach to couples work. 

She understands first-hand the struggles creative and entrepreneurial couples face as they navigate the abundant joys and challenges that come with a high-achieving lifestyle. Her clients span the globe as they set forth to make the world a better place for us all.

When she’s not teaching, coaching or consulting you can find her in her gorgeous urban garden, hiking Door County, Wisconsin with her tiny dog, cooking community dinners, playing with her two sweet little kiddos, or traveling the world with her partner, Rae.
