Boris Chestnut

Boris has worked in the sexual health spaces for over 7 years and with over 15 years of experience in behavioral health services. Boris helps his clients explore and connect with the origins of their sexual experiences and teaches them how to shift their sexual mindset to align with their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual being through the use of Tantra or energy work. 

​

Growing up in an environment filled with religious dogma and cultural caveats, Boris witnessed firsthand sexual misguidance many individuals experienced due to lack of knowledge and judgment-free exploration. He learned that so many people encounter blockages with sexual energy and intelligence that often go unnoticed until it confronts them in their personal lives especially romantic relationships. 

​

After attending Florida State University and achieving a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and then a Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work, Boris began his professional career serving the community making efforts investing in people and healthy energies. This experience allowed him to support individuals from multiple racial backgrounds and intersectionalities. While living in Tallahassee, Florida, he had the opportunity to volunteer with various organizations that supported and advocated for black-identifying individuals. One particular organization’s experience involved a processing and resource group for sex workers. The focus was to provide resources for women with a lack of basic needs in unsafe spaces. Boris was moved by the sex workers who bravely displayed a fully human experience of sex, encompassed with sexual freedom/limitations, satisfaction, and trauma.  Seeing the positive impact of participation in expertly guided and informed conversations about sexuality and sexual health taught Boris about the benefits of sex energy and the power of using it for manifestation.

​

While attending the University of Michigan, Boris was the only Black cisgender man in his program. Although he gained vital tools, techniques, and methods in sex therapy, he also recognized a broader need for inclusive spaces that address the unique challenges faced by men of diverse backgrounds. This realization fueled Boris's passion for cultivating environments where men can redefine masculinity in healthier, non-toxic ways and confront widespread sexual miseducation.

​

Boris believes that men of all races working in sexual health spaces can reshape the landscape of love, sex, and connection in relationships. As a minority in the sexual health industry, he is committed to reaching as many people as possible, using his expertise to foster healthy narratives and redefine the conversation around masculinity and sexuality.

Boris currently resides in Texas. He provides virtual and in-person help to individuals, couples, groups and community endeavors.
