Stephanie “Steph” Lykes, LMSW, MEd, MPH has an extensive background in sexual health spanning over a decade. As a licensed psychotherapist and Intimate Relationship Coach, she has one main goal in mind: to help everyone become their best sexual selves.

With a Master in Sexuality & Health from Columbia University, a Master of Social Work and Master of Education in Human Sexuality from Widener University, Steph is well-versed in fostering healthy sexuality and agency for people from all walks of life. Her resumé includes conducting HIV research in Harlem, overseeing policy and program development as a maternal, child, and adolescent healthcare consultant for the mid-Atlantic region of the US, and working as a communications director in the pharmaceutical sector.

In addition to working on her doctorate in Clinical Sexology, Steph is busy building Siren Call Consulting, an agency she hopes will be seen as a repository of sexual knowledge, healing and growth.

Steph continues to be a voice in the sex industry. In addition to being a published author, she is a prolific content creator for topics ranging from kink and fetish play to relationship coaching. Steph is also an accomplished speaker who has been featured on numerous podcasts and various events, most recently for Pornhub’s Sexual Wellness Center and New York’s Museum of Modern Art’s PS1 KinkOut series.
