About Dennaé

Sex Therapist, Coach & Speaker


Dennaé Dumas was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. In her adolescence, her family briefly moved to the suburbs of Philadelphia but eventually ended up in Raleigh, North Carolina. This is where she finished an undergraduate degree at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Communication Studies with a Minor in Business. As an undergrad, Dennaé spent a year in Lyon, France. She learned the French language and had the opportunity to fulfill her desire to travel the world. After college and missing Southern California significantly, Dennaé moved back to Los Angeles to become an actress. Dennaé spent many years pursuing her Hollywood dreams, starring in music videos, commercials, and print. One day, she realized that although she loved the entertainment industry, her true passion was to help others. She started a life coaching practice assisting clients in living their “best life.” Due to how much she loved it, a friend recommended that she get an MSW in Social Work to work with more people. Dennaé graduated from Columbia University with both an MSW and an MBA. She is pursuing a Ph.D. in clinical sexology at Widener University. Currently, Dennaé Dumas works as a sex therapist and a sex, intimacy, and relationship coach.

how it started

“I always knew I wanted to help others reach their sexual potential.”


Dennaé’s a pastor’s daughter, raised with a devoutly religious background who came to understand how sex positivity cultivates self-acceptance, empathy, and connection with others. A thriving sex life encompasses safety, consent, desire, and play.  

Dennaé tailors her work to each client's needs, pulling from modalities such as CBT, DBT, IFS, Gottman, and the Developmental Model for couples. This work can be used to help overcome sexual trauma, relationship incompatibilities, and consensual non-monogamous relationships.
