Jennifer Garner Sees Sex Therapist Holly Hein
Pregnant actress Jennifer Garner grabs coffee at Caffe Luxxe with sex therapist Dr. Holly Hein on Tuesday (December 30) in Brentwood, Calif.
Hein is most famous for publishing her book, “Sexual Detours, The Startling Truth Behind Love, Lust, and Infidelity.” She believes that affairs can be a way to search for identity and explains why an affair is more about the betrayal of the self than it is about breaking marriage vows.
Jen and husband Ben Affleck are expecting their second child this winter.
Kate Beckinsale and husband Len Wiseman reportedly have been visiting Hein the past few months.

oh oh trouble in paradise?
Lol, babies do not save marriages. Always such a sad assumption.
She just wants to know how to have sexwith her husband while pregnant. She should just ask me,in the ASS Jen. Don’t need to pay all that money for that.
Jen looks great as she always does! I hope her and Ben have a healthy baby! They seem like a great couple! So what if she sees this woman? I find her to be very admirable. :)
Jen not the woman haha!
wow thats a profound way of looking at adultry
I just wonder: THIS THERAPIST CAN SAVE THE WORLD?
it may be a betrayal of once self but its also a betrayal of vows as well. wtf.
perhaps they are just friends
gee!
Give me a break. Lets get hard core. It couldn’t be affairs are adventurous, exciting, dangerous and oh so much fun for those who dare???? Oh please. Spare me the betrayal of self. There are those who love to play and the dirtier the better. Its not about betrayal. Its all about being incredibly horny and finding your wife or hubbie bores you to tears because as you may love her, you still crave whats out there. Can it really be any more simple?
Hollywood is loaded with risktakers who aren’t big on morals so is this author going to change anything?
I do like the woe is me slant though because then it makes the cheater get some sympathy from their spouse. Awww how sweet.
Garner scares me with her bizzare behaviour. Shouldn’t she be reading baby books to Violet?? She lacks the sophistication and sharp edge Ben has but hey its his chick for the rest of his life. Im sure he would never dream of cheating on her. Not in a million years. Ben is such a moral man. *snicker*
Wow, this would be interesting if Jen had not been seeing this woman forever. She was seeing her before her first baby was born. I wonder if they are friends or if it’s professional. Who said Jen was boring? I don’t think so. Leave it to Jen to give them something to talk about. This woman is awesome.
oh geesh, sometimes all this dippity do crap people buy into is ridiculous. Of course it’s a betrayal of self, you are compromising yourself by cheating on someone and on a commitment. But it’s just as much a betrayal of breaking vows. Call a spade a spade, geesh.
Jen wants Holly to join 3some with her and Ben.
Jennifer should be having coffee with Ben not a sex therapist. People who are happy and content with their lives don’t have a need to see a therapist. Seems this is another Hollywood marriage that is doomed.
the fact that they are getting a coffe doesn´t mean that Ben and Jen have any problem in their marriage, If they need a therapy, they will go to her consult, not taking a coffe “”
http://benaffleck.spainforos.com/index.php
Maybe the sex therapist is a just a regular PERSON who happens to drink coffee from time to time. And maybe - just maybe - the sex therapist, who is just a regular person, was not on duty call while drinking coffee with an acquaintance of hers. Let’s consider that for a moment.
So this woman is telling Jen that Ben didn’t break his vows by cheating, he was just trying to find himself? Only in Hollyweird is that true. Face it Jen, Ben cheated because he heard La Lopez is gonna be a free woman again.
Talk about being desperate for the photo op! Jen must think it’s okay because she’s pregnant. She has a history of infidelity herself (just ask Scott Foley and Michael Vartan), and it sounds like this quack just finds a way to justify them.
Jen’s probably trying to get Ben to stop cheating now, and since she was a cheater herself, she knows his ways. Neither this, nor having another baby, will keep Ben forever, Jen!
Calm down, people.
Jen has been seeing Hein for years, even when she was married to Scott Foley. Hein has become a friend. Jen took her to the ER when Hein cut her hand right before Violet was born.
I always thought Ben looks sad, we’ll this explaines it. Tabs are saying that JLo is splitting up too, hmmmm?
Instead of squeezing fruit at some market maybe she should be sqeezing Ben a bit more, just sayin.
as for cheating, i think it’s a sign of weakness in a way. you’re attracted to someone else, but you don’t have the balls to abandon the safety of a steady relationship. so, it is a betrayal of one’s self.
as for jen, she probably is just friends with the sex therapist.
leave her alone people, can’t she have a sex therapist friend?
lol as for ben and jlo having same rumor of splitin at the same time…gimme a break! he won’t want her anymore! she destroyed his career in a way with all the attention and stupid things he did while with her. Abd well, jlo is not that desperate too..
jen seems like a great woman , wish her the best with the new baby cutie and her hubby and of course Violet
Jen has known this woman for years, as early as 2003 when she was splitting from Scott Foley, I think their relationship is both professional and personal. I remember seeing this woman at the premier of Jen’s movie “The Kingdom” in LA and she was also in a picture with Jen exiting the back door after one of Jen’s performance in “Cyrano” last year. I think this was probably a relationship that started off as professional and they became friends.
Jen started seeing this lady when she was married to SCOTT FOLEY. Therefore, she’s a friend for years. JJ just is trying to stir up trouble. Actually, I think I’ve seen this lady on CNN Showbiz Today. She’s always on as a consultant about relationships. Is that her?
Yu all are idiots that say Ben cheated. If Ben cheated, it would be all over the tabloids (esp. the National Equirier). Everybody wants to catch him doing that I’m sure. Or even oggling girls like Beckham. So far after 4 years, NADA>
Also, Jen saw this lady the day before she had Violet. Maybe that means if she saw her yesterday, she’s having the baby today! Yeah!
No, I’m not done. I also remember reading Jen saying in a Marie Clare article that she did a lot of therapy and worked on herself a lot and what she expected from a relationship before “doing it again” (remarrying). I think she is to be commended actually. Most people don’t do any introspection at all. Besides after reading you all making assumptions about what the book is about, you should buy it before commenting. You can get it used at Amazon.
Brace yourself….
Everyone knows that it is common knowledge that Ben
is referred to as BIG BEN , for a very good reason.
When he PULLS INto town, there are screams of pleasure
and maybe sometimes a little delicious pain.
Maybe when the emotions get a little high
and things get hot, we can hear Jen shouting,
OOOOh, Ben!! Take it easy, baby. Think of the Baby,
baby!!! I have to get some advice about how to say “no”
when I really end up saying “yes, PLEASE!!!”
Oh what a grand lover.
Oh what a sweet husband and dad!!!
Hes not that into you?????
Ha ha.
Ya wanna BET???
He is Discusting He has always Cheated He Cheated
with Jlo when she was married to Chris Judd
But then Jen has Cheated to She needs to Dump Ben’s
**** He is a DoucheBag
Hey Jen give her number to the Jolie Pitts.
She’s beautiful and the best person in the world, just for giving her life images to her fans keeping his wonderful glance and smile.
red
Sorry guys! Julia meant to say: She should give her number to Jen; that c*nt can’t remain in a relationship to save her life
HA!!!!!!!!!!!HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Poor poor manly garner has to see someone because hubby is not into sex with a woman that looks more like a man and has bigger feet and hands than him! he problably thinks he is making love to steven tyler and is turned off! I have seen garner with this therapist numerous times, she chose to trap him again and is paying the consequences, she should have known better, benny never looked happy in the photos, and her fans are in denial! he hates the paps and she loves them but that is no excuse for him to look so miserable. But we all know that the reason he married her was to get into poltics because she doesn’t have alot of baggage, in the future, and i remember when i read an article where he was asking hisadvisers if garner was good for him because of the poltics, and they told him yes!!!! So i think he was never into her until he had to marry her because of vio. That is why benny is a closet drinker and he gambles in the internet!!!!
Her marriage is in trouble because Ben would never have married her if she hadn’t been pregnant and having another baby is only making things worse. You can’t be friends with your therapist, it’s unprofessional.
I have to admit Jen has not looked sexy like she did in the days of her TV series and the movie she did with Ben, I know she is pregnant and all, but, I never see her with her styled or a cute maternity outfit… nothing. She needs to learn in Hollywood there is always someone looking to take your place.
#20 just saying “Instead of squeezing fruit at some market maybe she should be sqeezing Ben a bit more, just sayin.” LMAO!!!!! That is hilarious!
But in all actuality Jen and Ben are both cheaters so they deserve each other. What is it with Ben’s women seeking outside help? J-lo was visiting that voodoo lady, and now Jen G. is visiting a seductress. What does Ben do to these women?
Wake up and smell the coffee JG, cause you are about to get dump!.
you may have his kids, but not his heart……FACE IT…………
They may be friends, nothing more.
First let me just say I love Jen but aren’t you supposed to not have caffeine when you’re pregnant?
#39 lolita, you s#it was hilarious LMAO!!!!
Ben and Jen are not cheaters.. It is interesting how this pix came out..
She probably bumped into her at the store.. Because she usually goes
to the office.. not walking up a side walk… And why would she be so
casual about it.. Or is it just another way to get the dickhead in this again aka Jlo..Since she has to go to San Juan for a vacation .. Instead
of visiting Mr. Dolce.. in Italy…It also looks like she is making fun of
the therapist.. making faces at her and not really talking to her…
So bug off about Jen having any problems making fun of someone on the street is not having a therapy session…
i meant 37 was hiliarious
I’m sorry Garner fans but the woman looks like an A#sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
I would’nt touch that with a ten feet pole, damn she must be the most unattractive pregnant woman I’ve ever seen.. This is the time a woman is suppose to look the most attractive, she always looks like a slob. Angelina looked so pretty and so did the other celebrities I bet Angie wouldn’t allow Brad to see her looking like s#it. No wonder she’s seeing a sex therapist…friend or no friend she’s still getting some sort of advice. Girl needs to take a bath cause she looks stank nasty!
Hey Joe, I don’t think I wanna touch the therapist with a ten feet pole…as bad as she’s looking what kind of good sex advise can she give Jennifer. Jennifer got it all wrong, she needs to wait until after the baby than see a sex therapist because the way she’s looking I think Ben ain’t buying.

#45 and 46 lmao !!!!!!!!! this woman even if not pregnant is not attractive, she has a horse face, i feel kind of sad for benny, and by the way they call him big ben for his height, and nothing else jj posted some photos a few yrs, ago when he was on vacation and the dude was quite dissappointing in that area, garner’s fans are in denial again!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jennifer sees this therapist whenever she has marriage problems she went to her with her first husband Scott Foley too and look how that turned out. Divorce. She’s been having problems with Ben for a long time and this woman has been helping her through them because she also a therapist for people with addiction issues and Ben has been in rehab. Shotgun weddings don’t make for happy marriages, Jennifer is desperate to stop Ben leaving.
This therapist is the only person apart from Violet who listens and pays attention to her, she’s someone to talk to, someone who listens unlike her husband Ben who just ignores her and never is with her.
rofl she looks HUGE compared to that lil old lady lol
she’s all tall and ****, jennifer also looks creppy in some of the pics, like is she is stalking the old lady, lol
i wonder what trouble kate beckinsale is in, i hope she has no problems, altho i read on daily mail once that she wasnt wearing her wedding ring
Hot diggity dog! I knew this would get the tongue wagging. JJ is a smart cookie. He knows what will get the people talkling. I just hope Jen’ G’s threads don’t turn into the nightmare that are the Brangelina’s with so many hits that I can’t be bothered to read the comments. That would be a tragedy because I adore the Garner-Afflecks. By the way, I don’t think for a minute that either Ben nor Jen are cheating. They don’t have that kind of relationship. Both of working at making a good marriage. They belong together and if and when they break up it sure as h.e.l.l won’t be because of infidelity. They found what they need and wanted out of life. Best of luck with the new baby. I am sure it be will as adorable as Violet. BTW, they went to Cedars this morning (probably for a checkup, I don’t think it’s quite time yet for the new little one. Best of luck to them.
Oh yes, I also meant to say that some of you have way too much time on your hands. You should get of the house more and find your own significant other. Then you won’t have time to spend speculating on the outcome of other peoople’s live. I do it for fun only. I am not making a career out of it. Happy New Year y’all.
Adoring Fan=wacko
Back in June Jen was visiting this same woman and it was published on this website as “Jennifer Garner’s Good Friend”. She was visiting her friend’s house.
So is she a friend to Jen or a sex therapist? What difference does it make?
Just trying to stir up trouble. No one, I repeat no one sees a “therapist” at a public coffee shop. Not only would this not be smart on the person seeking helps part, and it would unethical for the therapist to hold a session out in an open place like that.
Further, since you can’t be friends with a therapist, does that mean if you are having coffee, lunch, dinner, etc. with:
a lawyer you are being sued?
a policeofficer you are being arrested?
a realator your are buying a house?
a priest you are going to confession?
a doctor you are sick?
a pilot you are taking a trip?
a mailperson that you are getting a package?
a firefighter your house is on fire?
a baker you are having a cake made?
a plumber your toliet is clogged?
Nope, it means that there are people you have a profession and they have friends also.
Jennifer and Scot Foley when to see this woman when they were having marriage problems before they divorced, she also saw this woman with Ben when they had their shotgun wedding because Jennifer was pregnant and now she’s seeing her again because she’s having problems with Ben. She’s a therapist to Jennifer Garner but also her friend, only in Hollywood is it normal to be friends with your therapist.
Dr Holly Hein is not a “sex therapist”. She has Ph.D and is a LCSW. Her private practice is with individuals, couples and families. She deals with everything from eating disorders, chemical dependency, dual diagnosis, aging, grief, trauma, career issues, etc. She is an outstanding therapist who has helped to teach many of her patients how to better handle their lives and grow into stronger individuals, partners or families. In the process many have become very close to her as she is quite selfless with her time. While her first book was about infidelity, her next one is not. Please don’t minimize her accomplishments or make assumptions about who her clients are.
Thanks Maricka #58, you one of the most level headed and intellectual person on this thread. Thanks again for your contribution, not that some of these guys with learning disabilities and/or those suffering from mentally challenged conditions with be able to read and learn. It is always nice to be informed of the facts. Happy New Year to you and yours in case you happen to return to this site.
At some point you have to grow up and make your own decisions, mistakes and not go running to the therapist for every little thing and have her control your life. That Jennifer looks to be closer to this woman than her own mother is really, really sad. Holly sounds like one of those wacko sychohpantic hollywood gurus that celebrities have on speed dial.
Maricka, Holly’s number one adoring fan have you ever met Jennifer Garner, spill what do you know about her and Ben’s marriage problems.
This is disgraceful - there are really something things that are private! Jesus - sometimes I really hate this place and who caters to it.
But you go, Jennifer, maybe it lets some idiots know that its perfectly ok and healthy to look for help and this has a good side to it after all.
I am always amazed at what BS the fanatic fans dream up to explain away something thats right up in your face, the same thing they would condamed someone else they justify it for their idol
LMAO
Lets face before she got pregnant there were hard rumors that it was over between them that Jen wanted out…………….JEN HAS A HISTORY OF CHEATIN…………………SO DOES BEN…………YET JEN IS THE ONE SEEING THE SEX DOCTOR….(JUST LIKE A WOMAN) NOW BEN HE’S A GUY IF HE CHEATED….WELL SO BE IT….WOMEN TRY TO FIND REASONS TO JUSTIFY……………….MY BET …JEN CHEATED,…..YET AGAIN………….AND IT MAY NOT BE BEN’S BABY…OR IS….THEY WELL NOT LAST LONG……REMEMBER BEN LIKES THE STRIPPERS AND I CANNOT PICTURE JEN DANCING ON A POLE FOR HIM….HAHAHAHA
FACE IF PPL….ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME…OR THEY WELL SETTLE FOR A MARRIAGE WHERE EACH CAN HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING ON THE SIDE AS LONG AS THEY ARE DISCRETE….THIS IS HOLLYWOOD AFTER ALL.
Happy 2009 to all!!
I love Jen & Ben together. Violet looks just like her mom… shes gonna be a beauty. .Looking forward to the baby.. soon it look like..
Still no baby. I was so hoping it was time. Can’t wait to see another little Affleck kid. Jen and Ben make beautiful babies. The whole family is sweetness overload.
Is the photographer sure it’s Holly Hein; maybe it Jen’s Mother.
And, to Trisha, it was JLo that was the cheater while she was still married to Judd. Ben was single.
It doesn’t take a therapist to learn how to have sex even while pregnant if one is truly in love with their marriage mate…and to Turkeys @ 9:19 am, if Ben is secretly cheating it will not necessarily be in the tabloids. Only if he is CAUGHT would it be in the tabloids. Well, at least Jen is trying to make the marriage work
If she was seeing this therapist before she had Violet, who was conceived LONG before their shotgun wedding, then she clearly has some issues that need to be worked out. Said therapist could be a friend or maybe Jen didn’t want to be seen at the therapist’s office, thus fueling speculation that her man is a bona fide cheater and always will be. Maybe she’s trying to take that self-deprecating “advice” and turn in it into a positive situation that may save her fruitless marriage. None of us know. All we do know is Ben has “shady cheater” written all over his face and always has! He’s an intelligent man but doesn’t alway act as such!!
Who told you this from the beginning??
Good laugh good laugh.
Whether this women is Jenifer’s sex therapist or as I suspect a very good friend they are both probably laughing and discussing what all you sick people are summizing. Jenny is probably saying to Holly, “gee this is going to make a good story about Ben and I having problems because I’m seeing a ’sex therapist”. She is more of a lady than any of you ****** that write such hateful and disgusting things about a person you don’t know. Jennifer is a more natural and loving mother than someone like Victoria Beckham that walks like she’s got a carrot stuck up her a…s….what mother strolls with her three children with 5½” high heels, face always painted without a hair out of place. That’s not natural people that’s a person that’s so vain she probably looks in shop windows to see her own reflection all the time.
Jen has known this woman for years, as early as 2003 when she was splitting from Scott Foley, I think their relationship is both professional and personal. I remember seeing this woman at the premier of Jen’s movie “The Kingdom” in LA and she was also in a picture with Jen exiting the back door after one of Jen’s performance in “Cyrano” last year.
