Dr. Terri Barrios

President

Dr. Barrios is an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Arizona.  Dr. Barrios owns Mindful Sex and Relationship Therapy, LLC, a private practice specializing in sexual and relational issues.  Due to her inability to help all of those in need in her private practice, she founded TASTi Fund, Inc. to fill the gap in resources for those without private insurance and the financial means to self-pay.  Dr. Barrios strongly believes that sex therapy should be accessible to all and strives to break down barriers for those in need.
