I am a therapist and writer who is interested in and respectful of relationships, lifestyles and individuals outside of mainstream or prevailing norms. I work online and can meet with people over webcam, via ‘phone, through instant text chat or email exchange.
I’ve trained in a range of approaches but prefer to use narrative and dialogical approaches and to work with people in collaborative ways. My practice is influenced by the work therapists such as Harlene Anderson, Johnella Bird, Michael White, and Art Fisher. I am also interested in reading and editing pieces of writing that assists in the understanding of non-mainstream ways of living and loving particularly those that exist outside of, or challenge, the heteronorm.
I specialise in working with people in non-exclusive and polyamorous relationships, LGBTQ folk, sexuality, concerns about pornography ‘addiction’, ‘sex addiction’ and erectile dysfunction.
While my primary language is English, I do speak some Swedish and sometimes Swedish-speakers consult me in Swedish. Appointments in-person in Australia may attract a rebate through Medicare.

I specialize in helping individuals and partners navigate the extra something that makes their relationship(s) a unique challenge. Folks I work with are often loving outside of the cisheteronormative & mononormative structure such as ethical non-monogamy, kink/BDSM, or other LGBTQ2S+ relationships. I also work with people whose experience of the world may be impacting their relationships, such as folks who are neurodivergent, individuals living with disability, or folks for whom trauma is showing up. I strive to help folks design the intentional relationships they are struggling to create on their own.
What we’ll work on together is understanding how the particulars of your life intersect with your relationship and shape your needs, communication, and boundaries. We will begin a dialogue about the intersection of the relationship(s) and the condition(s)/context(s) which can help to improve the level of understanding and empathy in the relationship.
I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation if you wish to learn more about how we can best address your specific needs and to help you determine whether I would be a good person to collaborate with on your journey.

Sexuality is one of the core components of human existence. Human sexuality embraces our identity, mind, body, gender and attractions. Our sexuality is guided and influenced by our relationships, culture, awareness, values and spirit, and can shift and evolve at any given time.
Many of us have unaddressed sexual questions and concerns. For some, these questions are simply too uncomfortable or embarassing to explore. For others, their concerns are overshadowed by negative messages that have created shame, fear and guilt. These, compounded by the many issues we face in our daily lives - work, school, children, relationship conflicts, stress, social pressures, etc. have created barriers to having a healthy sexuality.
Your sexuality and sexual health is a priority. Together we will work to resolve your concerns, have your questions answered, and enrich your sexual and intimacy experiences.

Becoming a therapist has been an intentional journey that is the direct result of a desire to collaboratively facilitate healing in myself and those around me.

Hello, I’m Marla, a counsellor, coach, and facilitator. I’ve been designing and leading workshops about diversity, sexuality and relationships for 10 years. I have since expanded my practice to include relationship coaching and sex-positive therapy for individuals, couples, and constellations* of people engaged in a wide range of relationship formations.
My professional aim is to offer accessible, wholistic, non-judgmental services to people from diverse backgrounds and identities. My work is informed by anti-oppression, anti-racist, feminist, and harm-reduction philosophies. I aim to co-create respectful, safer spaces where peoples’ identities are understood within the framework of their own life experiences and social context.
My approach varies depending on the unique relationships and needs of the person/people who collaborate with me. I tend to begin with a relational/talk-based style and incorporate alternative techniques when applicable.
The best way to get a feel for my style is to call or message me for a free consultation: connect@marlaschreiber.com (514) 714-3675
We might be a good fit if you’re looking for support in the areas of:
Relationships
Polyamory
Consensual non-monogamy
Sexuality
Intimacy
Identity
Kink/BDSM
Gender
"Coming out"*
Communication
Life transitions
Spirituality
Anxiety
Addictions
I am bilingual in English and French but have been working primarily in English for the last 5 years. I can offer French services for those who have minimal abilities in English so we can switch between languages in Montreal’s FrEnglish fashion.
Constellations refer to romantic and/or sexual relationship formations of more than 2 people.
“Coming out” is a term that is often used to describe the process of beginning to share one’s sexual orientation with others. For those who are undergoing gender transformations, or people engaged in non-traditional relationship formations, “coming out” can be a similar process of sharing intimate parts of one’s private life with others.
“Coming out” is often mistaken for something that happens once but can actually be a very complicated process for some, taking place over a long period of time. Some might say that “coming out” happens regularly throughout the lifespan.

My work is informed by anti-oppression training and guided by adult-attachment theory. I practice Emotionally Focused Therapy with couples and throuples; by building stronger connections between them, issues and concerns are often resolved.
With individuals, my work remains relational. I draw from a variety of modalities to help folks identify and communicate their needs, determine their boundaries and provide insight into the dynamics of their relationships.

If you’re currently in an ethically non-monogamous relationship, it’s quite likely that you’ve been on quite a journey already. Pulling yourself loose from the world’s one-dimensional narrative on love, and instead defining your own rules isn’t always easy. I celebrate you in your courage, and understand how important it is to have a therapist who is able to relate. My stance and philosophy are explicitly inclusive, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual expression, or the way you want to shape your relationship.
Most of my clients are aged 20-45 and all find relief in the safety, warmth and openness that we create together in our sessions.
I’m a psychologist trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and specialize in relationship therapy. EFT is an empirically validated method based on attachment theory, with the best results of any couple therapy currently out there. It can be successfully applied to polyamorous relationships. I also provide individual therapy to those who seek to regain balance, clarity, and a renewed sense of inner peace.
Fluent in English and Dutch, I offer both in-person sessions in Amsterdam and online sessions. Feel free to check out my website anlacan.com for advice on my blog, or to schedule a free introductory meeting!

I completed degrees in science and philosophy before qualifying as a counsellor, and I combine the analytic strength of these disciplines with the warmth of humanistic therapy. Following the person-centred approach, I believe that every person has the capacity within themselves for growth and healing. My job is to provide an empathetic and supportive environment for that capacity to unfold. My work is also influenced by cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), meaning that I help clients explore the unstated, often unhelpful, assumptions behind their responses to challenging situations. I also draw from various other theories and methods, including existential psychotherapy, transactional analysis, and mindfulness practices. I have read very broadly, within psychotherapy and related disciplines, and try to offer whatever I think would be helpful to each client as an individual without ever being prescriptive.
I have had a varied career, and I believe that familiarity with the variety of human experience is one of my great strengths as a therapist. I approach each client with warmth, an open mind, and a sense of their unique perspective on the world. I particularly welcome inquiries from clients who may worry about judgement or misunderstanding. This includes people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual or otherwise embody gender, romantic and sexual diversity; people in non-monogamous relationships, who participate in BDSM, do any form of sex work, who use psychoactive drugs, belong to other minority groups, or who otherwise feel marginalised or under-served by the counselling profession.
My practice is based in South East London, and I try to offer flexible arrangements. I work both short- and long-term, and offer online session in addition to face-to-face. Please get in touch if you have any access needs or questions!

I trained at ProcessworkUK, and have 10 years experience of seeing clients. I work with individuals, couples, thruples and polycules as well as groups. My practice is sex positive, trauma informed and works with the body, the mind and the heart. I’m also sex critical- sex can be wonderful or horrible, however it is not the be all and end all. As a process-oriented practitioner I tailor sessions to you and what is happening- it may be more linear and involve talking and coaching or we will explore your dreams or work with your body. I’m deeply passionate about working with people and cherish the beautiful diversity of both humans and nature ore briadly. I’m not just interested in"fixing" things but also in engaging with the creativity of the challenges you face. I’m a cis queer white woman, aware of the privilege and challenges that this brings to my perspective. Im a mother of a mixed race child and am engaged around issues of racism, white privilege and parenting. I run a group for mothers local and am setting up a monthly sex conversations group in Stroud.

As a therapist I believe that you have the power and knowledge within you to help with the problems you are experiencing; to heal and to grow. As a practitioner I make a commitment to you to help and support you with what you bring to me. To do this I use my experience and understanding to support you in a way which is open, non-judgmental, focused on your issues and as real and human as possible.
I believe therapy is about your felt experience inside and outside of the therapy room, rather than about cognitive interpretations of your past and behaviour.
Through effective therapy we can become more able to accept and respond flexibly to our feelings, relationships and circumstances.
I work with a wide variety of people including LGBTQ+ individuals and their family members; people with or supporting people with disabilities and long term health conditions; people experiencing difficulties or abuse in their relationships
As well as working with adults I am also experienced working with children and using play and art in therapeutic work.
I offer sessions online (e.g. Skype, Zoom) as well as in person. As well as working in a typical counselling room I also offer sessions in natural spaces.

4 CHAPEL LANE, WILMSLOW, CHESHIRE, SK9 5HX, GB
I draw on personal and professional experience in working therapeutically with diverse sexualities, including: individuals that may identify as LGBTQIA, poly/ ethically non-monogamous. I have completed training with Pink Therapy on working with Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) as a GSRD identified clinician. The main approach that I work with is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical approach which focuses on changing problematic thinking styles and behaviour patterns through the use of solutions, tools and techniques. If you are hoping to make changes fairly quickly and acquire direct solutions to your difficulties then CBT is a great option: most clients notice a change within six sessions and are able to see significant improvements within 10-12 sessions. My previous experience includes working for the NHS alongside private practice.
I am experienced in treating various presentations including: Depression, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Health Anxiety, Phobias, OCD, Social Anxiety, Body Dysmorphia, Perfectionism, Low self- esteem, PTSD, Trauma, Relationship difficulties and also Long-Term Physical Health Conditions. I utilise a transdiagnostic approach, integrating CBT models and formulations with processes that occur across disorders. This for example includes working with processes such as and Rumination and Intolerance of Uncertainty as well as painful emotions such as Shame and Guilt. Further to this, I have found it effective to incorporate third wave approaches such as Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness and Distress Tolerance Skills into my clinical work. Central within my practice is the belief that effective therapy is flexible and able to address the unique difficulties that individuals present. I am interested in how dominant discourses can shape people’s lives in destructive ways. This includes, experiences of oppression, shame and identity. In the context of therapy this can mean exploring stories of the self, helping individuals externalise their difficulties and co-authoring new narratives.
I am based in South and Central Cambridge and am also able to offer sessions and via the telephone.

I provide therapeutic treatment for individuals, couples, and groups facing seeming impasses and resulting physical and emotional symptoms. I have specialized training in trauma and work with survivors, to uncover missed experiences and process traumatic happenings that may have previously left an imprint within the nervous system. With couples managing trauma, we look for new ways to improve capacities to maintain regulation and find ease in the relationship. In therapy we will collaboratively honor the lengths taken to survive our experiences and work to pave a path to thriving.
My approach is mindful and dialogic. I encourage exploration and have a knack for helping smart people move passed self-limiting thoughts and behaviours. As a practicing Buddhist and a yogi there is a transpersonal bend to the space I hold, but I do not push nor promote any schools of thought. I pride myself on upholding a level of cultural competence I feel necessary to facilitate change in community and growth in therapy. My practice is open, accepting, poly-versed, kink aware, and LGBTQIA+ affirming.
As a somatic clinician, I am sensitive not only to the cultural influences in our bones, but to the unique neurobiological and psychosocial makeup that is you. Therapy with me is gentle yet rigorous. I work at your pace yet hold in mind always treatment goals brought to me and my responsibility to you as a helping other. With whole systems care at heart, I have a holistic approach to wellness. In session I draw upon traditional psychodynamic and eastern philosophies and practices as well as current somatic science and contemporary treatment modalities such as: Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Fusion Acupressure, Formative Psychology, Yoga Therapeutics, Hakomi, AEDP, EFT, and PACT.

In a dream I was asked, What is it you do? I replied, I am a life saver for human souls. At the time I was working in community mental health and teaching yoga. Since then I have trained as a professional massage therapist. I still have no better answer. I believe that health of mind, body and soul are integral to us all. We each need touch, freedom to move our bodies, and companions who hear us and recognize our potential as human beings, in order to navigate this ocean of life. I offer individual, couple and group psychotherapy (talk therapy) with a focus on working with people who are part of the open-relationship, polyamory and alternative sexuality communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Additionally I have a practice providing therapeutic massage and individual and small-group yoga instruction. Presenting this information together here speaks to my holistic approach, however if you see me for talk therapy this means that you cannot also see me for massage or yoga instruction, because the ethical standards of Clinical Psychology prohibit having multiple relations with a client.

While guidelines for monogamy are quite clear, polyamorous and non-monogomous relationhips can be much more nuanced and personalized. This break from tradition has potential for rich relationships and deep fulfillment, but often requires special attention and personalization. I work with individuals and couples looking to build care, empathy, patience, and communication for themselves and one other. Using a psychodynamic and relational approach I help clients explore how to feel safe and supported in their relationships.
It is important to meet clients where they’re at and I do my best to create a non-judgmental and sex-positive environment for those already in polyamorous and non monogomous relationships or those considering it. I work with people of all different sexual and gender orientations. I also work with people in the sex work, BDSM, kink, and fetish communities.
Feel free to reach out for a free 20 minute phone consultation to see if we’d be a good fit. Currently seeing clients through telehealth.

2305 ASHBY AVE., BERKELEY, CA 94705
I am a Clinical Social Worker, licensed in the state of California (#86545). My practice currently includes individual and relationship therapy for adults. I believe that the mind and body are complementary parts of the self, and that our wellness is impacted by our social, cultural, and physical environments. I work to help identify and deconstruct systems of oppression and the impact these systems have on our mental health and wellness. I integrate this into the therapeutic process which I believe can be critical for healing. I also incorporate trauma-informed, harm reduction, insight-oriented, relational and mindfulness approaches into my practice, as well as the integration of non-ordinary states of consciousness. I have expertise in queer identities and relationships, and have worked extensively with LGBTQIA+ populations and communities of color, both of which I identify with.
Some areas of focus within my practice include:
LGBTQIA+ populations and communities of color
Sexuality and gender identity
Non-monogamous, open, polyamorous, alternative relationships
Depression
Anxiety
Trauma processing - abuse, domestic violence, historical/ intergenerational trauma, sexual trauma, community violence, etc.
Substance misuse (harm reduction approach)
Grief and loss
Integration of non-ordinary states of consciousness

California Licensed MFT, Board certified sex therapist, lecturer, author, and former Ask Isadora syndicated sex and relationship advice columnist which appeared in many news weeklies nationwide.

VIRTUAL OFFICE (CALIFORNIA)
PO BOX 453, EL CERRITO, CA, 94530, US
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, offering services at my office in Oakland as well as online to California residents. I provide psychotherapy and coaching for a variety of issues, including trauma, depression, anxiety, living with HIV/AIDS, grief and loss, interpersonal and relationship problems (specifically polyamorous and nonmonogamous folks), questions of sexual identity, confusion around vocation and life purpose, and more. Although I have a diverse practice, my specialties include:
EMDR for rapid, effective healing from the enduring impacts of trauma
Working with people questioning their gender identity, exploring/pursuing transitioning, or seeking mental health assessment letters for surgery
Working with gay men to develop an identity, lifestyle, and relationship that are true to their deepest selves
Working with women from a feminist perspective to examine and challenge oppressive social conditioning and double standards at work and in relationships
My clients find a comfortable, supportive and engaging atmosphere. The process of therapy leads to healing from loss, developing deeper intimacy with others, becoming more resilient, and letting go of emotional patterns that no longer serve you. Effective therapy involves a moment-to-moment experience of both feelings and ideas in order to understand the past, to live more fully in the present and to choose well for the future. My own healing journey and life experience as an artist, photographer, gay man, nature lover, traveler, student, therapy client, Buddhist practitioner and worker for social justice enable me to bring a breadth of understanding and wisdom to the lives of the people with whom I work.
I am not paneled with any insurance companies other than a few Employee Assistance Programs (see my website for details on this.) I require full payment at the time of each session; however, I can provide a statement that you may use to seek reimbursement from your insurance company if they cover out-of-network therapy services. Please visit my web site to see my current fees.

Having worked in numerous mental health & counselling situations, I have experience with clients of a wide range of life-style, ethnicity, gender identification, sexual orientation, and personal backgrounds. Most of my experience has been with ages 14 and older. I also have counselled clients showing a wide range of patterns of personal distress and symptoms. For 28 years part of my job was to diagnose new clients in an outpatient clinic that served clients with problems ranging from mild adjustment to severe psychoses, and everyone in between. In the decade since I retired from that clinic to focus on private practice, I have worked with both individuals and couples/triads who asked for help exploring alternative styles of relationship, gender identification, and sexuality.
I have been trained in many styles of therapy and family/network/group intervention. I try to tailor my offerings to the needs, goals, and values of the client(s) who seek my services. In the area of traumatic stress, I am certified in EMDR (formerly called eye-movement-desensitization&-reprocessing… now I call it “Emotional Memory Desensitization& Reprocessing”). I was certified by California BBS as Hypnotherapist in 1982. I have explored using various altered states to help clients. This has included study and practice of Mindfulness Meditation which I apply to counselling situations. I have also studied several “Energy Meditations” and “Movement Meditations”. Under my RN certification I have studied and offered massage and bodywork. I draw from these varied trainings and experiences as tools to offer to clients what is acceptable, interesting, and useful to their development in life, in happiness, in consciousness, and in relating with others.
Currently (July 2020) I am mainly offering sessions via video (zoom,etc). FtF sessions are still possible, if needed by clients.

I hope this space can help you begin to answer whether we might work well together. Being warm, caring, empathetic, and helpful is a core part of being a therapist, so I won’t emphasize those qualities here. In terms of my more unique clinical facets, I endeavor to be nonjudgmental even when not neutral. I’m high energy, whimsical, and mirthful in the counseling room. I am also skilled at verbally describing internal decision-making and emotional processes and have excellent pattern recognition and analytical skills.
Each individual comes to therapy with their own goals in mind and I’m here to work on whatever you feel would most benefit you. I especially enjoy supporting clients in discovering and supporting boundaries, building relationships and relationship agreements, and managing depression and suicidality.
I won’t judge you for consensual expressions of your identity and sexuality. I encourage LGBTQIA2-S people, people in consensual nonmonogamous relationships, BDSM/kink practitioners and community members, sex workers, and people living with chronic, severe depression and suicidality to reach out to me. I work with adults and partners. Please check my website for information about my availability for new self pay and insurance clients.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, triads etc, friendships and fluid bonded poly communities. My priority as a therapist is to create a safe space for you. When any of us seeks out therapy, we are likely suffering. To suffer is to be in a very tender place, and I want to honor that. Whether your suffering comes from early childhood trauma, more recent losses, relationship problems, social injustice, adjustment to big changes in your life… I want you to feel safe and companioned as you move toward tending those places of wounding and toward healing.
I have spent my life working to make space for those who know what it is to be an outsider. As a therapist, I value your way of seeing the world and yourself, and I see our work together as very collaborative. My history in activism, the arts and mindfulness informs my approach to psychotherapy. I believe that who we are is influenced not just by our interpersonal relationships but also by our social and political environments, and the standards against which everyone is measured. Part of our work will be allowing you a space outside of those standards to explore your authentic self.
I work with adults and children, and have worked extensively in the poly, LGBTQIQ, kinky communities.

For most of us, relationships are central to our lives and our well-being. And while they can provide love, passion, connection, awareness, and growth, they can also stir up conflict, breakdown, aversion, old wounds, and a lot of frustration. Sometimes we need a place to work this out.
I strive to help people in relationships of all kinds to find their way back through conflict or old conditioning to reconnection, intimacy, and healing. I am direct and pragmatic, and I take a holistic approach that encompasses who you are on all levels: body, mind, and spirit.

My name is Haley Hewitt and I specialize in individual, couples, and family therapy. I believe that because we are complex and unique individuals, an approach that integrates both mind and body is essential for the healing, growth, and resiliency that is the goal of therapeutic counseling. Treatment specializations include: Therapy for depression and anxiety, couples counseling, children and adolescents, work and career issues, stress and/or pain management, life transitions, self-esteem, mental illness/mental health issues, gender and/or sexual identity, and LGBTQIA-lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual communities.
I found the most effective success lies is understanding the challenges from my clients perspective, and then relying on practical tools for breaking destructive cycles and habits, digesting difficult emotional experience and improving overall quality of life. We work collaboratively to develop a plan that embraces change, growth, and resiliency.
I aspire to understand the complexities of each client while utilizing the Western psychological model and integrating research on the mind-body connection to embrace healing. I am a Registered Yoga Teacher and a CA BBS licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

I am a Southern California hypnotherapist and motivational speaker specializing in relationships, sexuality, and intimacy. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental and inclusive atmosphere for my clients to explore the various aspects of their sexuality and relationships in a supportive and collaborative way. Working with clients, I help to build self-awareness and resolve deeply ingrained issues surrounding relationships, sexuality, and intimacy.
As humans, we are wired for meaningful connections with romantic partners. Often, our prior experiences and past traumas do not allow us to make deep connections. Without the ability to be vulnerable and intimate with a partner, the relationship can begin to unravel. We become stuck in how we think about relationships; we never question the things we do or why we do them. I help my clients understand how relationships are formed and how relationships may ultimately fall apart. Using hypnotherapy, I help clients improve their connection with their partner(s), understand their relationships, and explore changes they want to make.
I also help my clients address sexual issues or problems, sexual desire, low sex drive, sex education, and sexual health.
I work with clients of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship modalities. My practice promotes a sex-positive, body-positive lifestyle. I am passionate about providing a safe space for my clients to explore and discover the truest version of themselves. I specialize in working with and am closely connected to, the LGBTQIA+, kink, and non-monogamous communities.

1235 N. HARBOR BLVD., SUITE 290, FULLERTON, CA 92832 (SESSIONS ARE PROVIDED VIA TELEHEALTH TO CLIENTS WHO ARE LOCATED IN CA)
In my practice as a therapist I use the research on what works to help my clients get the outcomes they want; better relationships, managed anxiety, less depression and more control over life. I pursued a few paths in life before my career in mental health. I studied Modern Literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I worked for years as a math, science and SAT tutor. I trained for and competed extensively in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournaments. My approach as a therapist is multidisciplinary, drawing on my previous experience coaching and educating adolescents and adults in athletic and academic environments.
Every client has unique needs and that calls for a customized perspective. I do not limit our work into any single modality but blend a variety of techniques to tailor my approach to treatment for each individual. The primary modalities I draw influence from are cognitive behavioral, humanistic and dynamic psychotherapy.
I work with individuals and couples with many different issues, needs, sexualities, and relationship styles. The decision to pursue therapy is an exciting step toward building the life you want. By working together, we can get to a different place than we are able to achieve on our own. Whether this is your first experience or you are continuing a long-term engagement with therapy, I am excited to join you.

I recognize that not all romantic or intimate relationships are about “that one true love.” If you find yourself exploring creative intimacy and want to do that creatively, safely, and with integrity, I will support you.
I am a culturally competent clinician determined to support all of my clients to be the best that they can be by their own standards and definitions. I will not provide you a path towards conventional success. Rather, I will listen carefully to who you want to become and ask relevant questions so that you can live your unique life with purpose and pride.

It is clear to me that people’s suffering and challenges are not failures of their bodies or minds, but are responses to a culture that has damaging views on sexuality, relationships, bodies, race, and gender. What can be understood can be changed and something better take its place.
Through mind/body approaches and information from the leading researchers on sexuality and relationships, I help you to get back in touch with yourself and others, communicate more effectively, assist you to shed shame and misconceptions, and create sexy sustainable relationships. I specialize in supporting people within the Ethical Non-monogamy, LGBTQ+, Kink/BDSM, or Sex Worker communities, People of Color and those in interracial relationships.

I offer culturally sensitive counselling to individuals, couples, poly-relationships and families. I believe the collaborative process expands awareness, resolves disconnections, nurtures compassion, and uplifts relationship satisfaction and confidence. My integrative approach draws from Narrative Therapy, Voice Dialogue, Emotional Integration, and Mindfulness practices. Changes in life are inevitable, and navigating the twists and turns can be challenging. Our work will nurture interdependence from an emotionally aware perspective that supports courageous conversations and a problem-solving skillset.
I create opportunities to practice powerful ways to connect with your partner(s) and family. Our work will prioritize cultivating awareness of self, then accurate understanding of your loved one(s). Equipped with these skills you can then practice being a loving, supportive partner. My approach with couples, poly relationships and families almost always produces deeper connections, and greater ease when adapting to changes. Healthy partnerships and family engagements produce joy and fulfillment. It’s not an illusion of smoke and mirrors, but it is work. Expect homework, no skill is earned without practice!

I am a kink-poly-LGBTQ affirmative licensed Marital and Family therapist with a speciality in the lifestyle and polyamorous relationships. I graduated from Loyola Marymount University in 2005 with a Masters in Marital and Family Therapy with a specialty in Art Therapy. My therapy style utilizes my understanding of alternative sexual communities in conjunction with an emphasis on insight, emotional healing, and empowerment to provide a therapy experience that allows for a higher level of safety and comfort. The therapy focus may or may not be about navigating the clients sexual journey, but even if the focus of therapy is about something entirely different (trauma, grief, or anxiety), the client will know that I will provide a non-judgmental space should such topics come up.
Privately, I have been connected to polyamorous, lifestyle and kink communities since 2003. I understand the hurdles, massive emotional growth, and amazing joy these worlds can provide.

I have found therapy to be a place where we can talk about aspects of our lives that might be stigmatized, misunderstood, or unseen in other social spheres. It is important to me to give clients the space to be authentic while they approach self-exploration, self-love, and judgeless venting. Working through past wounds or current obstacles deserves a safe space.
I like being a curious facilitator in my client’s own process of gaining insight and awareness. I want my clients to tell their own stories, while they reshape and take back their narrative in a way that is empowering to them.
I believe in the necessity of human flourishing and want my clients to be able to live fulfilling lives in whatever form that looks like for them. Together, we can go through the darkness on a path towards healing, finding meaning, and helping you become your own therapist.
I am a member of and advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community, and I have invested in cultural humility that specifically uplifts my Allyship and support of the NBPOC commUNITY
6535 WILSHIRE BOULEVARD SUITE 130, LOS ANGELES, CA 90048 USA
I provide therapeutic treatment for individuals, couples, and groups facing seeming impasses and resulting physical and emotional symptoms. I have specialized training in trauma and work with survivors, to uncover missed experiences and process traumatic happenings that may have previously left an imprint within the nervous system. With couples managing trauma, we look for new ways to improve capacities to maintain regulation and find ease in the relationship. In therapy we will collaboratively honor the lengths taken to survive our experiences and work to pave a path to thriving.
My approach is mindful and dialogic. I encourage exploration and have a knack for helping smart people move passed self-limiting thoughts and behaviours. As a practicing Buddhist and a yogi there is a transpersonal bend to the space I hold, but I do not push nor promote any schools of thought. I pride myself on upholding a level of cultural competence I feel necessary to facilitate change in community and growth in therapy. My practice is open, accepting, poly-versed, kink aware, and LGBTQIA+ affirming.
As a somatic clinician, I am sensitive not only to the cultural influences in our bones, but to the unique neurobiological and psychosocial makeup that is you. Therapy with me is gentle yet rigorous. I work at your pace yet hold in mind always treatment goals brought to me and my responsibility to you as a helping other. With whole systems care at heart, I have a holistic approach to wellness. In session I draw upon traditional psychodynamic and eastern philosophies and practices as well as current somatic science and contemporary treatment modalities such as: Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Fusion Acupressure, Formative Psychology, Yoga Therapeutics, Hakomi, AEDP, EFT, and PACT. You can find a broader account of my approach, style, and modalities I utilize on my site www.somaticcentered.com.

Drawing from my 35+ year career as a professor of anthropology specializing in sexuality, gender, marriage and partnering patterns, I am offering my knowledge and deep analysis with singles, couples and multiple-partner configurations. I am especially skilled at working with culturally diverse populations and issues including Polygamy, Arranged Marriage vs. Love Marriage, Culturally Imposed Virginity, Polyamory, Swinging, Cheating, Sexual Assault Accusations, Cybersex/Sexting, BDSM/Kink practices and LBGTQ identities.
My sessions offer a unique perspective drawing from years of research and teaching that can include reflection on history, culture, biology, psychology, ritual and spirituality. I may be one of the least judgmental and most insightful professionals you will ever meet!
My goal is to enable you to understand the social, cultural and family structures that have led you to seek help. Once we establish the ways the world around you has inhibited the core expression of all you can be and how you might love, we will work to reposition harmful and limiting paradigms. Working with me can be a deep adventure in discovering “what else is possible.”

My passion is helping adults and couples/relationships navigate the complexities of being human. Everyone has their own unique story, and my goal is to help each client become the director of their own story by empowering them to take charge of their life.
I strive to create an atmosphere of warmth, safety, and curiosity in therapy. My style tends to be friendly, engaged, and active. We will work together to help you make greater sense of your life and improve how you feel.
I integrate a number of different psychological theories and methods into therapy, and my expertise includes psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, family systems, and mindfulness-based modalities. This means I try to balance addressing present-day challenges with identifying and healing the roots of those challenges, which often involve our formative experiences and relationships.
I feel it is important to consider and explore our internal experience of ourselves and others, as well as identify how our thoughts, feelings, and close relationships might interact in our lives and minds to create both difficulties and opportunities.
Appreciation of each person’s unique cultural context is very important to me, and I have experience working with people of many diverse gender identities, sexual orientations, relationship practices, racial/ethnic backgrounds, abilities, and spiritual beliefs.
I provide psychotherapy to residents of California either in-person (post-pandemic) in Pasadena or online via video therapy. Working with polyamorous and consensually non-monogamous people and relationships is one of my therapeutic specialties, as well as the area of my ongoing research work.

Are relationships a big source of your emotional pain? Working hard to find someone and it’s not working? Tempted to violate an agreement or have already done so? Maybe you’re overusing substances to cope or your loved one is battling addiction?
When in these situations, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and want assistance. I imagine you want to feel grounded, to not have outside situations or people dictate your every move or mood. You want to be happier, contented, and satisfied. You are wanting to be and feel calm. I can help guide you to get to where you want to be.
I am invested in your emotional health and happiness and will assist you in finding solution and solace by exploring embedded beliefs, automatic thoughts, and attachment issues that are shaping your outside life. I encourage you to set up a consultation to experience my result-oriented style in person and see if working together feels like a good fit.

Are you nervous about the process of couples or individual therapy? Have you heard that therapy is hard or painful? Maybe it makes you uncomfortable to let a stranger into your world because you fear you will be judged or branded as the person who has caused all of the problems in the relationship.
Let me assure you that I am a genuine person, and I want our time together to feel like you are having a conversation with a trusted confidant. My job is to make you feel comfortable, supported and safe so we can figure out together how to make your relationship better. I have no agenda or desire to figure who is wrong in the relationship. Blame doesn’t create good outcomes, so we won’t even go there.
My style of therapy is very much like my personality: down to earth, humble, funny, slightly sarcastic, direct, and blunt in a loving way. I have a sense of humor about myself, and I encourage my clients to adopt the same attitude. I hope you come away with the feeling I am really invested in you. Telling me your thoughts and feeling won’t scare me, surprise me or make me judge you.
My office is a place to find support, empathy, and outside-of-the-box ways of thinking about problems. I have extensive experience with couples who are working through addiction recovery, want pre-marital counseling, and/or are LGBTQIA identified. I also love working with couples and individuals who struggle with being people pleasers and find it difficult to ask for their needs in relationships.
I am incredibly enthusiastic and tend to be an overachiever working with clients who are motivated and open to change. I’ve invested in the highest level of training because I truly want your relationship to be a success. I have some great tools I can share with you to get your conversations moving in a new direction.
Gottman level 3 trained, domestic violence trainer, substance abuse, addictions, and trauma. (CV on website if needed). Works with LBGTQIA, poly-affirming, couples and individuals.

My primary goal is to help people be happier in their lives and relationships.
I offer Personal Therapy and Couples/Relationship Therapy in San Diego, CA. I am caring, non-judgmental, and empathetic and my approach to therapy is collaborative - my role is to be a catalyst for the change you desire. I help individual (age 18+) with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and personal growth.
For couples/relationship therapy, I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which is shown to be one of the most effective therapies for couples. This type of therapy is geared toward the importance of attachment bonds, recognizing the cycles where you may feel stuck, and learning how to change the way you and your partner relate to each other in a meaningful way.
I also have a background in Sexology and am comfortable and willing to discuss topics about sexuality in a non-judgmental and frank manner. These topics may include issues or concerns with sexual health, healing from infidelity, increasing intimacy, re-igniting passion, sexual compatibility, and improving mutual sexual satisfaction.
I help people from a variety of relationship dynamics, and I am very familiar with the diversity of lifestyle and relationships found today. Whether you are single, in a primary relationship, triad, quad, V, non-hierarchical, or any other love constellation, I provide a safe space to discuss delicate topics and I strive to make each of my clients feel comfortable and understood.
*Please note: I am active in the local community and occasionally attend local social events. So if you also attend local community events, we may know many of the same people. If this is an issue, please let me know upfront and I will do my best to provide with a more appropriate referral for you.
3914 MURPHY CANYON ROAD, SUITE A201, SAN DIEGO, CA 92123
As a couple and family therapist, I have a strong conviction in the healing power of healthy relationships. Connecting to your authentic self and fostering wellness in all relationships in your life is a primary focus of my work. I provide individual, couple and family psychotherapy for youth and adults of all family and relationship constellations. My mission is to help you create your full personal and relational potential.

2729 4TH AVENUE, SUITE 3, SAN DIEGO, CA 94103
Poly, non-monogamous, and mixed-orientation relationships are just as unique as monogamous one, be it rewarding / enjoyable or challenging. Relationships can go from absolutely amazing to being on the verge of the breaking point without us even knowing how we got there. Sometimes this means that we need to gain a better understanding of ourselves and the relationship overall. This can happen through self-exploration, communication building, and renegotiating expectations, just to name a few.
Because I work with both those in relationships and individuals I know not everyone I work with will focus directly on their relationship, every client deserves someone who is affirming and accepting of who they are as an individual. I provide services to the broader LGBT community across the lifespan, including children and teens. I also make every attempt to ensure that therapy fits my clients lives and their lifestyles. This means telehealth session so that you can be in your most comfortable environment as well as late evening sessions.
But if you are looking for a therapist that will just nod or agree with everything you have to say, I am not the therapist you. But if you are looking for a therapist that is down to earth, direct, and will help you establish true goals and actually teach you the tools to reach those goals, then you have found the right therapist
330 RANCHEROS DR. #208, SAN MARCOS, CA 92069, USA
I’ve often wondered where the phrase “falling in love” came from. The “in love” part sounds great, but the hazard of “falling” is that most people get hurt when they fall. I am as much a romantic as the next person, but I’m not in favor of stumbling headfirst into a relationship (as opposed to a fling) without considering all the known risks and benefits - “known” being the crucial word. There are so many unknowns about a partner or lover that we only discover by being in relationship with them, that it behooves us to intelligently consider the known aspects as we face them. I’m of the belief that we do not choose who we fall in love with, which has some inherent risks, so the more insight we can gather about all the parties in the relationship, the better our chance of success will be.
As a therapist, I believe the best way - indeed, the only way - to face the challenges in any intimate relationship is with fearless honesty. How can I trust that my lover’s acceptance of me is genuine if I have not shown him or her my true self? But being vulnerable in a relationship is a scary proposition, and sometimes you may need the help of someone else. As a therapist, I am in a unique position to guide and coach you into learning to develop that habit of honesty, which is essential to safe and healthy intimate relationships. For ethical non-monogamous, polyamorous, or throuple relationships, the need for honesty among all parties is even more essential, and I will honor every risk you take in therapy. I will be your ally, without judgment or shame, as I support you through your journey.

I work from an open and non-judgemental framework where I have an understanding of the challenges and unique aspects that come with being a part of these communities. I often use cognitive behavior therapy and psychodynamic therapy to improve mood and increase happiness by instilling awareness and identifying unwanted thoughts and behaviors, as well as, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing along with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to eliminate relational and intimate distress.
Overall, I can address a broad range of topics from depression and anxiety to relational and intimacy challenges. Wherever you are on your journey, I would be honored to be your guide to a healthier, happier you.

Whether your concerns relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationships, external stressors, or personal growth, our work will be in a non-judgmental, caring environment. My therapeutic approach is grounded in the most current, culturally-aware, trauma-informed, and evidence-based practices, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
My own experiences of personal transition have shown me that life affords us many opportunities for growth and change - as individuals, and in our relationships with family members, partners, and friends. In my practice I focus on thinking and attachment patterns, and on the many personal, social, and cultural factors that contribute to resilience. Whatever your goals for therapy, I’m here to help.
Please note: Since I’m active in the local community and attend local events, it’s possible that we may know some of the same people, and this is something we should discuss at the outset. If it’s a concern, I’ll provide you with appropriate referrals.

My services include: Eating Disorder Therapy, Anxiety Therapy, EMDR Therapy, Depression Therapy, Trauma Therapy, Teen Counseling, CBT Therapy and more.
I am an eclectic therapist and I utilize many different therapeutic modalities depending on my client’s current needs, circumstances, and overall personality.

I am also a Registered Yoga Teacher so I utilize an array of mindfulness-based approaches when appropriate, especially when working with anxiety, stress, and depression.
My practice is poly-friendly, open to the LGBTQ+ community, gender non-conforming, cisgender, and heterosexual individuals. I meet the criteria for poly-friendliness due to experiences I have had working with clients, friends that identify as polyamorous and various articles I have read on the topic. I am trauma-informed and am also an EMDR clinician. I would love to help you access your inner strength.

There are many reasons why you might be considering therapy at this time: a long-standing problem, the impact of a current life situation, and/or wanting support for your personal growth. Whatever your reasons, I know that it is important for you to find a therapist with whom you feel you can develop a good working relationship - someone whom you feel you can trust, who can understand your situation, someone with solid training and experience.
In our work together we will come to understand more about the sense you may have that your life is not your own - feeling stuck, feeling driven by old habits, feeling depressed, feeling consumed and forestalled by rage, feeling that change is needed in your relationship or in your career.
You and I will work together to build a trusting and non-judgmental relationship where you can feel safe to talk about yourself openly. The strength of our relationship is a crucial foundation for our work together. You know your life better than anyone else. Therefore, we will hold great respect for your wisdom about yourself.

Hello, I am Michael Guichet, a licensed psychotherapist, specializing in sex therapy. I work to help individuals, partners, and couples to connect on the things that are not being talked about. Often people believe they are broken or their desires are shameful and I work to create change and facilitate communication. Let me work with you on changing the patterns in your life.
Specializing in sex therapy means I work with individuals, couples, partners, and families in monogamous, Poly, open, LGBTQQIA, kink, and BDSM communities. I also work with sexual dysfunction and disorder. It is my passion to work to heal shame and facilitate communication around my client’s identity, relationship orientation, sexual orientation, sexual behavior, and many more aspects of the sexual experience.
I am Poly and open knowledgeable, kink and BDSM knowledgeable, LGBT affirming, queer affirming, asexual affirming, and sex worker friendly. I can do teletherapy (therapy over the internet) in the state of California.

I warmly welcome you as you are, and hold a safe space to support your intention for growth and healing as your witness and companion. I offer experiential therapy, so you can move beyond cognitive understanding to actually having a transformative experience in session. I hold a body-based, integral, and spiritual frame for the work of therapy. (Somatic and transpersonal, to use psychology jargon.) This means that relief and healing can come from integrating mind with body and emotions, and expanding awareness. I have an active style that is much more than simply listening. I identify as a highly sensitive person (HSP) of gifted intelligence, both of which inform my work.

My approach is a flexible, organic experience of healing for many emotional concerns, particularly anxiety, sadness, grief, fear, shame, anger, loneliness, guilt, sexual and creative blockages. We work to bring the hidden into light. That which has caused you to distort your inner strength can be brought to the foreground and choices can be made. I embrace all gender expressions and sexual orientations. I have experience supporting a variety of relationship configurations and lifestyles, and can assist in navigating issues that can surface in these choices, such as boredom, jealousy, intimacy blockages, differing needs and desires, sexual and emotional satisfaction.
Influenced by the works of Fritz Perls, Wilhelm Reich and Rollo May, I will help you explore what has been fed to you and become indigestible. We will work to move through the layers of pain towards a new, authentic expression of Self.
I believe that we are continually remaking and creating ourselves and our experiences. Sometimes we do this without awareness, and suffer from self-deception and distortion. The goal is for you to become aware of what you are doing, how you are doing it, and how you can change.
Individuals: Individual work is core to my practice. I work with adults and adolescents. Together we can explore whatever you feel to be disturbing your experience of life, particularly depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, spiritual and creative blocks, illness, childhood abuse, trauma or issues related to sexuality, gender expression, and intimacy.
Couples: In working with couples, I assist my clients in their exploration of relationship. I work with intimate partners, siblings, business partners and friendship pairs.

Families and Groups: I have a broad definition of family, ranging from the traditional nuclear family to families of choice and nontraditional configuration. I can assist you in exploring the patterns that sometimes interfere with the healthy functioning of the family system. I also work with groups, some short term, and others long term. Please inquire for further information about newly forming groups, and groups open to new members.

I am Board certified as a Sex Therapist by numerous professional organizations. I am licensed in California by the Board of Behavioral Sciences as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and in British Columbia as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). I have practiced since 1966. I work with people of all sexual orientations and relationship configurations who have sexual questions ranging from difficulties to enhancement.
I affirm my commitment to personal, consensual, sexual rights and choices, gender equality and personal responsibility, and to the autonomy and empowerment of people regardless of gender or sexual orientation or expression. All individuals, couples and families have the right to decide, freely and responsibly, what part they want sexuality to play in their relationships. I have worked with many poly and kink couples and families.
Many clients are now being seen via Skype.

Poly/kink friendly, extensive experience in the LGBTQ communities; specializing in trauma recovery, grief & loss, life transitions, anxiety, insomnia, social and sexual issues, spiritual concerns, non-traditional life styles, parenting, pre- and post-surgery recovery. I welcome adults, teens and children to my practice.
I invite you to become an active agent in the story of your life. My intention is to assist you in strengthening your connection with yourself at a soul level and to support you in creating a life path that is fulfilling on a personal level as well as one which brings your unique gifts into our interconnected world.
Through the use of hypnosis, you experience an altered state of consciousness that allows you to directly access your subconscious mind. By speaking to the subconscious in language it can easily hear you change patterns you have outgrown - creating new healthy images out of the old.
You use an intention to work toward your personal goals, and you are the one who is controlling the process. As a result, you remove subconscious blocks and find guidance from within your deep self.
In my practice I use Hypnotherapy by itself or combine it with Reiki, based on your personal choices and needs. The combined approach is especially helpful for physical manifestations of emotional issues or for supporting deep inner healing.
Languages: English, German, Polish. Sliding Scale available.

I specialize in gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity. I work with LGBT+ individuals, couples, and other relationship groupings, artists, Burning Man attendees, and others who have felt judged or misunderstood by therapists.

Having attended Pacifica Graduate Institute, I approach the work from a Jungian background.

Therapy is a process. It is a living and breathing evolution in understanding. And self-discovery is both the journey and the destination.
Curiosity about yourself, and the desire to understand the way your world works, is the jumping-off point. What is your primary way of knowing what you know? What are your defenses and where do they come from? What is your range of emotions and how do they serve you? What drives you, and what holds you back?
Heightening our own awareness of our intentions, our triggers, assumptions we make, and patterns we repeat, gives us a keener sense of our strengths, limitations, and purpose. Change is a constant in the universe-at-large and in our personal sets of circumstances. In asking (and answering) these questions of ourselves, we develop our own unique set of tools to adapt, cope, heal and thrive. (What we are conscious of, we control. What we are unconscious of controls us. - Anonymous)
My areas of special focus include sex workers, alternative sexuality and gender, polyamorous lifestyles, body image, and personal and family relationships. The space we will create together will be one of non-judgment and unconditional understanding. And you will set the direction, pace and boundaries of our conversation.
So, whenever you are ready, come on in. Have a seat. I am looking forward to knowing you.

As a Gestalt therapist, I am very interested in the here and now. How are you stopping yourself from manifesting a fully functional and fulfilling life? When we restrict our awareness, we limit our possibilities for growth and a meaningful existence.
I enjoy working with the taboo, the forbidden. Many of my clients live alternative lives. You are who you are. The work, as I see it, is to accept who you are and get on with enjoying yourself and your life.
For many years, I have worked in the field of family law, counseling hundreds of clients through divorce, custody battles and domestic violence. These experiences, and many others, led me to become a therapist.

Making the decision to begin therapy can be a difficult one. Whether it is to enter into therapy for the first time or to resume the process after a hiatus, I commend you for seeking assistance, counsel, and a compassionate ear. The last thing you want to feel in a therapeutic environment is judged for your life style choices.
I am committed to an open-minded non judgmental stance. I have over 20 years of experience in this field and have an expertise in clients who are poly/kink/swingers.
The art of therapy is knowing when to listen quietly and compassionately, when to offer up practical advice and tools, and/or when to bring up an unconscious dynamic that is unduly influencing the course of your direction. After 20 years of studying and practicing this art, I can offer you this subtle yet profoundly important expertise.

I am a psychotherapist in the South Bay with a specialty focus on alternative lifestyles–including polyamory, swinging, and kink/BDSM involvement. I have helped many individuals and couples navigate these lifestyle choices, and I realize how important it is to talk to someone who is open to non-monogamous lifestyles and who is open-minded in general. I know how important it is not to feel judged for the lifestyle you are leading even if it goes against prevailing social norms. By contrast, I aim to listen closely to what YOU are bringing in: what is strong in your life and where you may be struggling or having emotional pain.
It is difficult to start a course of therapy. But if you are in emotional pain, it can feel like moods and issues are running your life rather than you doing so. This can leave you feeling lost, confused, and distressed. When you are under this dark cloud, it can be very helpful to talk to an objective outsider in a safe, confidential, and professional yet intimate setting. My goal is to work together to recognize hindrances and unhelpful patterns and to accentuate personal strengths in order to regain a sense of agency and equanimity in your life.
I have more than 15 years experience in the mental health field. I have been trained in Positive Psychology, Group therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness coping skills. These methods can help alleviate symptoms of depression or anxiety and address debilitating aspects of trauma. For more information, see www.ednawallace.com.
Per my website, I charge $220 for a couples session (1 hour) and $180 for an individual session (50 minutes). I am not on any insurance panels, but you can submit my super bill to your insurance if they offer out-of-network provider benefits. In addition, I have some sliding scale spots.
I look forward to working with you!

I am accepting new clients who are California residents. I see all my clients through a HIPAA-compliant video platform called SecureVideo.
The focus of my practice is relationship and sexual issues. I work with individuals, couples, dyads, and constellations. For poly folks I can help with forging agreements, healing broken agreements, infidelity, jealousy, kink, cultivating compersion, poly desire discrepancy (one person wants it, the other doesn’t), family structure and discernments, mono-poly relationships, and many more issues. I often use two simple but powerful questions to sort through the interweaving threads of needs and feelings, “What kind of partner do you want to be?” then I help you be it right now and “What kind of relationship(s) do you want to create?” then I help you figure out how to create the invitation for it right now. My style is active, emotionally focused, and practical. I jump in and offer suggestions, I help you speak from your heart not your head, and I give and follow-up on homework assignments to help you improve your relationship.
As a poly person myself, I’ve experienced many common challenges including dating, calendaring, processing fatigue, introducing partners to kids, and yes, of course, jealousy. I also serve clients with a variety of other demographic and sexual diversities on issues less directly related to sex or relationships like anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and depression. You can read about my theories of communication and relationships and my style on my blog (www.drericfitz.com/blog/).
I serve adults typically aged 24-65+ though I’m open to working with younger adults too. I only speak English. I am a member of the American Association of Sex Educators Counselors and Therapists, a sex positive professional organization.

Therapy is an amazing placebo. You do not NEED a therapist to learn, transform, and grow your awareness of yourself. I firmly believe whatever it is you are seeking to learn, change, or make peace with, you can do it. The benefit of working with a trained therapist who sees you, gives your sense of agency and innate wisdom the respect it deserves, and offers an outside perspective on your experience informed by evidenced-based theory and practice, is that the pace of growth is greatly accelerated.
I arrived at clinical work after the suffering I uncovered in English and History overwhelmed me. What the long journey of higher education and years of practice have revealed is that the business of living is NOT figuring things out, but showing up. Authentic, full, vulnerable, and teachable.
I’m a geek many times over, but I’m primarily a sex and systems geek. I am enthusiastic about work with couples, poly groups, and alternative sexualities. I invite you to encounter yourself and your relationships differently, using a combination of experiential and cognitive interventions.

For years I have been a clinical service provider collaborating with individuals who have survived trauma. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, gaining my Masters of Social Work at Howard University. When starting I worked with refugees supporting them in transition to the DC metro area. Then worked in clinical settings specific for those who experienced interpersonal violence including not limited to sexual assault and/or dating violence. In many of these settings I noticed that there were fewer services catering to LGBTQ+ and PoC. I ensured that I was informed and skilled to support these communities. This was critical when collaborating with those who have survived and/or engaged in the sex industry.

200 EAST SEVENTH STREET, STE. #406, LOVELAND, CO, 80537, US
The foundation of my therapy is to create a safe, non-judgemental space for the client to discover their inherent wisdom and healing potential. The relationships I build with clients are based on empathy and respect for the client’s unique process. The human self is not a static entity. We are always unfolding and becoming, in each moment.
Sometimes, trauma cuts us off from this process of unfolding. Many of us have learned maladaptive coping strategies in response to traumatic environments. Later in life, this may lead us to become “stuck” in self-destructive habits or unhealthy relationships. We may hold trauma in the body, which keeps us constricted and disconnected from the world around us.
I focus on empowering clients to break out of those patterns and live fuller lives.
I help clients develop skills to manage overwhelming emotions, through mindfulness, self-care and nurturing connections with others. My goal is not just to provide tools for clients to manage problems, but rather, to help them develop an internal sense of strength and resiliency.
My primary focus, in therapy, is on the here-and-now. I use techniques of mindfulness and body awareness to deepen understanding of emotions, and how they affect human connection in the present moment. I also teach meditation practices for relaxation and anxiety management. These may include breathing and visualization exercises. I work with clients to discover meditation practices that suit their unique needs.
I have a background in both Transpersonal and Existential psychotherapy. I support the client’s freedom to find their own source of meaning in their lives. I honor each client’s unique spiritual path, and create safe space for diverse religious traditions. I collaborate with clients to create their own rituals to honor life transitions, empower themselves, process grief and move beyond trauma. I have a real passion for exploring dreams with clients, drawing influence from both Gestalt and Jungian dream work.
I specialize in working with the LGBT and Poly community. I work with individuals of all genders and sexual orientations.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA couples and families. I work with families and individuals of all ages. I believe that families come in all shapes, sizes, and configurations and honor each client’s right to define their own family structure.
I specialize in concerns and distress around sexual orientation, sexual expression, and sexual desire. I am a sex-positive therapist that is supportive of all forms of consensual sexual activity and a variety of alternative lifestyles. I also have extensive knowledge about nonmonogamous lifestyles, am poly-friendly, and kink aware. I will assist you in creating securely attached and intimate relationships, learning clear communication strategies, and developing healthy relationship agreements that meet your personal relationship needs.
I specialize in addressing concerns and distress regarding gender identity. I believe that gender expression is a spectrum and understand that many people do not fit into the binary understanding of gender. I can assist families in understanding the developmental issues surrounding gender expression, assist parents in processing their own reactions to their child’s gender expressions, and strive to promote family support, providing referrals and education about treatment options for people that present with gender dysphoria. I also assist adults in exploring their own gender identity, promote authentic gender expression, and can support clients who desire to seek medical transition.

I love working with couples and individuals who live lives that are authentic to them, whatever that may look like. I am kink-aware and I enjoy working with various relationship styles and sexual concerns. I’m currently completing my sex therapy education through Sexual Health Alliance.
My therapy style is humanistic, and client centered. I believe it is important to meet you where you are at and hold the space for you to create the life you want. I add components of Emotionally Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy where appropriate.
Our therapeutic relationship acts as a soft-landing place in an oftentimes harsh world, as well as a space for education, empowerment, and authenticity. We will work together to identify core areas that need to be healed for you to create relationships with others and with yourself that you find fulfilling.
To me, part of being a counselor is being an advocate. I believe in providing social, mental, and emotional support to vulnerable populations to reduce human suffering. Holistic health care is the way of the future. I love helping people approach their health in an integrative way. If it sounds like what you are looking for please reach out.

I am an English-speaking, sex-positive, LGBTQ-affirming, and kink-aware, licensed clinical and health psychologist in Colorado who specializes in polyamorous and other non-traditional relationships and lifestyles. I am currently accepting new adult clients for individual therapy and partners counseling. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to new clients to help determine if it would be a good fit for working together. I do home-based, phone and also HIPAA-compliant video conferencing sessions. I try to make therapy affordable to as many people as possible and thus offer a sliding fee scale as necessary to my clients. For many people, poly is more than a chosen relationship structure - it is an identity. As your therapist, I do not assume that your identity or relationship structure is the source of your concerns. While polyamory can provide satisfying relationships and rich opportunities for personal growth, it may also bring its own unique set of challenges. With personal and professional experience, I can help you navigate through arising concerns and topics such as:
Deciding what form of polyamory is best for you
Negotiating agreements and boundaries of relationships
Approaching the “coming out” process
Negotiating relationship parameters
Jealousy management
Improving communication
Time management
Cultural differences
Infidelity and broken trust
Power dynamics

Reed Lindberg, M.A., L.P.C., is the Managing Director of the Boulder Psychotherapy Institute. He is a couples therapist with 20 years experience. He refers to his work as "Relationship, Sex and Romance Counseling," and he works with people of all sexual orientations, and feels privileged to share in the inner and interpersonal worlds of his clients and to work with them on their personal and relationship issues.
Reed works to restore playfulness and trust to a relationship that may have grown mired in everyday life. His therapy is a mutual exploration of a couple's issues and strengths. He works with both individuals and couples. Reed offers a free initial session to help see if we will work well together.
Reed uses an existential perspective supplemented by Gestalt therapy and other approaches. Existential therapy starts from the assumption that we do not have a ""static self"" and are free to make significant changes in our lives and in the ways that we relate to each other. It encourages each person's freedom while building relationship. It works with authenticity. Neither freedom nor connectedness are ignored.
A therapist must be willing to ""go there"" with clients if he is to help them extricate themselves from the impact of the past. But he believes that it is the release of creativity and authentic relatedness in the present that is the aim of psychotherapy.
Reed also works with language and communication to help change the style of a couple's dynamics. Resentments and even anger may tinge a couple's interactions - a trusted third party, through observation and coaching, can help modify the words and attitudes that bring frustration to a relationship.
To understand, respect, and be present to the lived reality of others is one of the great privileges of living in relationship and of being a psychotherapist.

Here at Turning Point Family Therapy, I offer compassionate counseling for all of life’s events in the Denver metro area. My clients include individuals, couples, families (of every kind), children and adolescents.
Choosing a mental health provider is one of the most important decisions you can make. You want someone who is caring, knowledgeable, accessible and willing to take time for you and treat you as a person, not just a client.
My mission as a therapist is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel free to express yourself. I respect the mind, body, and spirit to promote clients’ vitality, passion and purpose. I honor the uniqueness of each individual while allowing the family to bloom.
I believe therapy should be a collaborative process between the client and me. I value working with clients’ strengths as a way to help clients reach goals and make positive changes. I believe therapy is not meant to fix parts of us that are broken but to allow us to become the best version of ourselves.

The majority of my experience so far in my career as a therapist has been in trauma, substance use recovery, eating disorder relapse prevention, body image and sex, partnerships and sexual concerns, as well as working with couples, families, and parenting issues. In regard to what I have found in this experience, especially working with eating disorders and substance use recovery, is that what seems to be missing with the recovery process is a sexual recovery component.
I feel that who I am, my authenticity, my message, and showing my humanness sets me apart from many therapists trained to be a blank slate for their clients. The work we do in session does not end there and it is not confined to the hour that I actually see them each week. I am prepared and have the latest evidence-based research to provide support.

Love relationships can be the source of our greatest pleasure and deepest pain. Intimacy is experienced when we feel safe with our partner(s) in being fully and naturally ourselves in ways we may not be with anyone else. We long to connect with someone that makes us feel desired and loved, and mutually share in friendship, love, trust, communication, respect, sex, and support.
Introducing or maintaining non-monogamy can expand both the joy and complications of our relationship(s). My practice specializes in polyamory and non-monogamy, addressing issues such as rebuilding trust and intimacy, negotiation of agreements, hierarchies and ‘veto’ power, ‘coming out’ to friends and family, personal insecurities/jealousy, and infidelity. I also specialize in LGBTQIA and alternative lifestyles including BDSM, kink, fetishes, and sex work.
I offer complimentary 20-minute phone consultations.

I am a psychotherapist in private practice in Boulder, CO, with a specialty in working with individuals around issues of gender and sexuality. I also have a specialty in providing empirically supported treatment for anxiety disorders (PTSD, OCD, phobias, social anxiety, etc.). With respect to gender and sexuality, the bulk of my work is with individuals exploring their gender identity and/or navigating gender transition. I provide psychotherapeutic support for this, as well as assessments for letters of eligibility for beginning puberty blockers, hormone therapy, or gender surgeries. A slightly smaller % of my clientele are generally those in the GLBIQQP area of the sexuality spectrum, as well as individuals who identify as poly or kinky. Some clients come to me for help with issues directly related to a polyamorous relationship, others see me for unrelated matters but want to see a therapist who is poly-affirming.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years experience working with adults and couples. I utilize an eclectic mix of therapies, with a strong basis in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and strengths based theories.
I earned my B.A. in psychology and my Master of Social Work at Southern Illinois University - Carbondale.
I am interested in providing assistance to couples seeking sexual and gender identity growth. Areas of interest under this umbrella include working with LGBTQ people, consensually non-monogamous relationships, and I am a kink aware therapist.
2000 P ST. NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20036
I am a licensed, bilingual, clinical psychologist with over seven years of experience providing individual and group therapy in the Washington, DC metro area. I work with adults and older adolescents who present with a wide variety of concerns such as relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem, women’s issues, perfectionism, stress management, anxiety, and depression. I specialize in working with trauma survivors, LGBTQ+ folks, individuals looking to explore cultural/identity issues, college/graduate students, and individuals in polyamorous/consensually non-monogamous/kink/BDSM relationships.
I am a sex-positive clinician who is aware and affirming of sexual diversity, including polyamory, consensual non-monogamy (CNM), kink, BDSM, altsex communities and other sexual identities. I recognize that sexual diversity is more than sexual orientation. It includes our sexual and relationship structure, orientation, preferences and practices. All people deserve to meet with a therapist who understands and affirms their relationship identity and sexual practices without unnecessarily making that a focus of treatment. My practice is a safe and inclusive space for all identities.
As an LGBTQ therapist, I am committed to providing a safe and affirming space for diverse sexual and gender identities. If you are struggling with feelings or experiences of shame, confusion, anxiety, depression, rejection, discrimination, or bullying due to your sexual or gender identity, therapy can offer a healing space to process these negative experiences and improve your sense of belonging, self-acceptance, and self-worth as well as your relationships with others. Therapy can also be a useful space to deepen our relationship with ourselves and learn what it means to love ourselves radically.
I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not accept payment directly from insurance companies. However, most insurance plans offer part or full coverage for out-of-network mental health services. Please contact me to discuss my services and fees further.

PO BOX 5885, WASHINGTON, DC, 20009, US
Hi! My name is Dr. Lana Holmes. I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in the metro Atlanta area. But more than that, I am a Black, bisexual, woman; a nerd; an Air Force brat; and a punk rocker at heart.
From an early age, I felt compelled to help find ways to lessen, heal, and work through the pain that we all experience as people. Moreover, I wanted to break down why we as people behave, speak, and hold beliefs in ways that compound that pain. And when I looked at my options, clinical psychology resonated with me the most, as a means of doing something about it.
Moreover, I know that those of us who are marginalized and oppressed bear particular kinds of suffering that can be difficult to describe and understand, if you haven’t faced it. That’s why I connect my lived experiences with years of clinical education, training, and work; for a deeper and more authentic style of therapy.
I approach therapy as a collaborator that takes evidence-based treatments and tailors them to the needs of people who work with me. Furthermore, my areas of expertise include: trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, polyamory, BDSM, kink, spirituality, cultural competence, and social justice. Finally, I typically work with adults who are ready to actively invest in therapy.
In terms of working with individuals within the poly community, my therapeutic approach is affirmative, culturally competent (i.e., informed about the cultures/subcultures that overlap with the poly community), and intersectional (i.e., I acknowledge, accept, and welcome the multiple aspects of a person’s identity). To learn more please feel free to book a free 15-minute phone consultation with me at the following link: https://peifer-psychology.clientsecure.me/request/clinician.
Intake Appointment - $215.00, Individual Therapy - $200.00, and Couples Therapy - $225.00. I am an Out of Network provider and do not accept insurance. However, a superbill can be provided for reimbursement through out of network benefits. HSA and FSA can also be used to pay for treatment. I do not do sliding scale fees at this time. Please inquire for more details.

1633 Q STREET NW, SUITE 210, WASHINGTON, DC, 20009
I have worked with LGB, trans and gender nonconforming, and poly/kink individuals for more than 20 years. My approach is affirming with regard to these and other identities and lifestyles, while addressing individual, relationship and societal issues that impair functioning or negatively impact quality of life in all its spheres. In working with LGBTQI people and others with marginalized identities, I work from an approach informed by a minority stress perspective, which encompasses both vulnerability and resilience.* Clinical issues I address include those related to anxiety, depression, trauma, sexual dysfunction, substance abuse and other compulsive behaviors, relationship and intimacy difficulties.
*I and my co-author, Rylan J. Testa, Ph.D., developed the Minority Stress Model for clinical work with transgender and gender nonconforming individuals, which we presented in our seminal article in Professional Psychology: Research and Practice in 2012.
Your professional specialties and skills: Individual and relationship therapy and psychological assessment (including assessment for gender-confirming interventions). When doing assessment for gender-confirming interventions, I adhere to the current WPATH Standards of Care.
Populations served: Adolescents, adults and older adults. For trans and gender nonconforming individuals, my work starts with puberty; otherwise my work starts at 14 years old.

Consultation and healing arts centered on embodied mindfulness and research in stress & trauma physiology, solidly rooted in social work values, including awareness of the interplay of environment and relationships on patterns of functioning. Over 75 hours of sex therapy clinical training, including Sensate Focus and partner-based activities. I am a licensed social worker but not a clinical social worker, meaning I am not licensed to diagnosis or treat mental illness. I approach trauma from an integrative, relational, and strength-based perspective, not a medical model, and individual session work is just one part of my practice that predominately focuses on research and work that brings communities and organizations into regulation, safety, and health.
Age 18 and older. Specializing in resolving trauma in the body, through touch-based or talk-based modalities, or both. Touch-based work can be done in person or taught over video with a friend or partner, talk-based modalities by video only. Work with groups, such as organization leadership is contract-based.

The goal of my practice is to help you feel better and accept yourself; not just by addressing anxiety and depression and avoiding the things that feel bad but also by engaging with what brings you pleasure, joy and a sense of connection. This can be through an exploration of sexuality or through whatever you find in your life that makes you feel passionate and alive.
In my office, you will find that difference is not just accepted but celebrated.
I work with individuals and people in relationships to develop a loving, accepting and kind method of communication with each other. Together we can change behaviors, resolve issues, improve sexual functioning, manage anxiety, depression and other complex feelings and cope better with pain and suffering.
Working together is always a unique experience customized to your needs. I have experience using psychodynamic, mindfulness, Imago and cognitive behavioral approaches to therapy and I try to choose the methodology that suits best for the individuals in my office.
I have a special interest in supporting people through issues related to sexual exploration, sexual functioning, sexual identity and gender identity. Clients who are in non-monogamous relationships, swinger, polyamorous and/or kink relationships are welcome.

Together, we will spend time defining, holding space for, and problem-solving whatever is keeping you stuck from being the most true and authentic version of you or from having more effective connections in your relationships.
You may wish to explore the facets of your identity including sexuality, gender, relationship structure, race, or sexual desires or the intersections of these pieces of your identity. I’m here for all of you - no topic is too taboo and nothing is off the table to be discussed in session.

I have been an active participant in the therapeutic process for most of my life. I strive to provide a non-judgmental, empathic and warm environment for those that might consider their sexuality, identity, or relationship status as “different”. That might be LGBTQAI+, being kinky, into BDSM, or non-monogamous, polyamorous, polyfidelity are welcomed. You will be understood and accepted here. I also work heavily with the trans community (whether that is transfeminine or transmasculine, gender non-conforming, gender non-binary), providing WPATH letters, and helping you to work on gender dysphoric symptoms, and connecting you to supportive services.

8019 N. HIMES AVE., STE. 311, TAMPA, FL, 33614, US
Finding a good fit in a professional, when in a consensually non-monogamous relationship, can be a challenge. I provide relationship and sex therapy that honors the complexity, nuance, joys and challenges of navigating life and relationships within a non-monogamous context.
There is no “right” way to be in relationship. Many people identify as ethically non-monogamous, polyamorous, or open, and often have unique perspectives and needs. I believe we can feel most empowered, free and connected to our deepest selves and define our own relationships, whatever those configurations and boundaries may look like. Having the support of a mental health professional who is well-versed on aspects of non-monogamy, can help you and your partner(s) to negotiate challenges to intimacy. This can be especially true for couples who are in the initial stages of “opening” their relationship. I love working with intimate partners in defining and exploring what relationships means to them and supporting their choices. I have cultivated a safe space for you on your journey to explore and communicate your needs, promote honesty, connection, authenticity, and trust.

However you structure your relationships, sometimes it’s good to have some help. You may want to deal with an immediate issue, either for yourself or for your relationship. Or you may want to explore the emotional or spiritual side of what you do. Either way, you may discover pleasantly surprising things about your interior life.
Joe Turner works with adults and elders with a wide range of life styles and orientations. We may work with patterns of thinking, or with your deep emotions. We can include emotionally supportive hypnotherapy if that’s appropriated. Your needs set the pace. There’s no fee to chat, to see if you feel a personal match. Contact me today.

I enjoy working with clients who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life adjustments. My interests and passions are working with gender and sexual minorities (LGBTGEQ+), poly/CNM relationships, the kink community, survivors of sexual assault and relational abuse, the Gaming and Cosplay community, the Drag and Burlesque community, and working with teens and young adults.
One of the benefits of being both a counselor and an art therapist is being able to tailor the treatment to you. We can work together using creative techniques and art therapy interventions or we can tackle your goals with more traditional therapy techniques. My therapy style is eclectic, which means that I incorporate different theories and interventions in sessions to create an individualized approach for each person. Come as you are and leave as you want to be.

2027 S. MILLEDGE AVE., ATHENS, GA 30605 USA
Hi! My name is Dr. Lana Holmes. I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in the metro Atlanta area. But more than that, I am a Black, bisexual, woman; a nerd; an Air Force brat; and a punk rocker at heart.
From an early age, I felt compelled to help find ways to lessen, heal, and work through the pain that we all experience as people. Moreover, I wanted to break down why we as people behave, speak, and hold beliefs in ways that compound that pain. And when I looked at my options, clinical psychology resonated with me the most, as a means of doing something about it.
Moreover, I know that those of us who are marginalized and oppressed bear particular kinds of suffering that can be difficult to describe and understand, if you haven’t faced it. That’s why I connect my lived experiences with years of clinical education, training, and work; for a deeper and more authentic style of therapy.
I approach therapy as a collaborator that takes evidence-based treatments and tailors them to the needs of people who work with me. Furthermore, my areas of expertise include: trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, polyamory, BDSM, kink, spirituality, cultural competence, and social justice. Finally, I typically work with adults who are ready to actively invest in therapy.
In terms of working with individuals within the poly community, my therapeutic approach is affirmative, culturally competent (i.e., informed about the cultures/subcultures that overlap with the poly community), and intersectional (i.e., I acknowledge, accept, and welcome the multiple aspects of a person’s identity). To learn more please feel free to book a free 15-minute phone consultation with me at the following link: https://peifer-psychology.clientsecure.me/request/clinician.
Intake Appointment - $215.00, Individual Therapy - $200.00, and Couples Therapy - $225.00. I am an Out of Network provider and do not accept insurance. However, a superbill can be provided for reimbursement through out of network benefits. HSA and FSA can also be used to pay for treatment. I do not do sliding scale fees at this time. Please inquire for more details.

A Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I am well prepared to assist tweens, teens, adults and families to address a wide range of issues, including PTSD, Depression, Anxiety Disorders, Addictions, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder, each of which is often related to past and recent traumatic events.
I am trained in a wide range of therapeutic approaches, most of which fall under the heading of “Cognitive Behavior Therapy.” These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Bilateral Stimulation (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Hypnotherapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
A Board-Certified Master Addictions Counselor, I can help people with issues with alcohol, nicotine and other drugs, as well as “process addictions” such as gambling, online gaming, sex, pornography, etc. I am not a big believer in the concept of “addiction” as applied to sex or pornography. I prefer to focus on changing those behaviors my clients find problematic, rather than making as to those behaviors’ causes.
I am almost violently nonjudgmental and feel that everyone should be free to live their lives to the fullest, so long as their behavior is fully consensual and not harmful to themselves or others. This includes a strong and committed belief that polyamory, monogamy, and pretty much any other consensual lifestyle is perfectly valid and healthy.
A Holistic Sex Therapist, I integrate an understanding of the range of normal sexual behavior. I find that most sexual issues stem from misunderstandings and lack of information. In fact, even most physicians and therapists know very little about normal human sexuality! I do not assume that one’s “kink” or “poly” lifestyle causes, or is even related to, the problems they experience in life.
I am currently limited to working with people in the great states of Idaho and Utah, but I am seeking licensure in several other states. A Board Certified Telemental Health Provider, I have been doing video counseling for more than three years. Since physical touch is not a part of my practice, I find that there is nothing I cannot do via secure video that I couldn't do in my office. I would love to talk with you to see how I might be able to help you live your best life.

I am sex-positive and have experience working with people in many kinds of relationships including non-monogamous ones. I support and identify with the LGBTQ community. I believe you deserve to feel empowered in your world, to discover what you want your life to be, and to have the tools and support to live the life that is right for you.
I think mental health care is too hard to access, too slow, and too expensive. I want to make therapy convenient and affordable for everyone who wants help making changes for themselves.
I accept insurance and the list of insurance plans I work with is always growing! Please reach out to me to see if I accept your insurance plan. More info on my self pay rates can be found on my website.

Amy Stewart is a licensed Marital and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist. Her style is open and direct and she maintains a progressive approach to her work, holding a strong interest in guiding non-traditional or ethically non-monogamous couples through relationship challenges. Ms. Stewart brings to her work a robustly feminist approach, believing that when women are better able to connect to their sexuality on their own terms, with regard to decision-making, choice and a focus on their own pleasure first, they will experience increased enjoyment of their sexuality and be better equipped to engage with their partners in high-quality sex. Sexual empowerment is a primary theme of her work and she believes this is a fundamental ingredient necessary for sexual pleasure.
Ms. Stewart obtained her Bachelors Degree from Indiana University, studying both psychology and sociology, minoring in gender studies, while also holding a research position at the world-renowned Kinsey Institute.

“My life, and yours, is a dance between destiny and freedom” –Sam Keen
I have successfully worked with adolescents and adults from a wide variety of walks of life since 2000, and can attest to the fact that what people often refer to as “destiny” is frequently created by them through their beliefs and patterns of interacting with themselves and the world. Changing these set ways not only helps individuals to find a better solutions to problems they are facing, whether it is in their personal life or business, but also attain freedom from burdens of the past.
Some of the problem areas I specialized in include: life-stage and professional transitions, grief and loss, abuse, PTSD, dissociative disorders, OCD, anxiety, depression, body image issues, eating disorders, sexuality, addictions, self-injury, relationship problems, spiritual and existential dilemmas/crises.
I work with individuals, couples, and groups. I am fluent in Ukrainian, Russian, and can also communicate in Polish and Spanish. My therapy approach is multifaceted and highly interactive; in it, I emphasize the importance of self-awareness, inner reflection, and the essential need to balance the mind, body, and spirit. In our work the twists and turns that come your way will transform into an adventure of SELF-discovery, necessary for you to reach your highest potential. - Does phone consultation

I work with individuals, couples, and families (whether by blood or chosen). I don’t subscribe to one particular theory or way that therapy should “work”. I’m eclectic in my approach and believe in a strengths perspective. Focusing on how you have done things well, what you are proud of, and how you have made it thus far in your life is as important, if not more so, then what you feel may be wrong at this point. I strive to help people feel better, more connected, and more in tune with themselves and those around them.
I am trained a sex therapist by Dr. Domeena Renshaw and I provide sex therapy around a wide range of issues including but not limited to: sexual intimacy problems, low sex drive, or differing sex drives in relationships, BDSM/kink, polyamorous or non-monogamous relationships, sexual issues related to chronic illnesses such as cancer, stroke, HIV/AIDS & depression, gender identity & LGBTQI communities. As a consultant and trainer, I am passionate about educating medical providers to be culturally competent, specifically as it relates to gender & sexuality issues, so that no person feels like they have to educate their health care provider themselves in order to receive competent services.

You need a safe space, free of judgment to work through anxiety, stress, trauma, and building healthy relationships.
Hi, I’m Sydney, and I am here to offer that space. I seek to empower you to pull on the strengths you already have to navigate life stressors by promoting healing, nurturing an authentic self-image, and strengthening relationships.
I take a trauma-informed and strength-based approach to counseling, tailored to the individual needs of clients in the Black, African Diaspora, and LGBTQIA+ communities. Additionally, I work with Highly Sensitive Persons. My goal is to help you in managing difficult emotions, experiences and relationships. However, we will collaborate on the focus of sessions so that you are comfortable with your treatment goals. It is most important that you have a voice in your care!
I often help with the following concerns:
If you are seeking ethical/consensual non-monogamy coaching for yourself and your partner(s) we wouldn’t focus on issues traditionally focused on in therapy. Instead, we would focus on you and your partner working through relationship goals such as better communication, boundaries, trust, combating jealousy, navigating individual trauma backgrounds, and cultivating a mutually beneficial relationship.

I am a sex-positive couples therapist. When working with couples, I practice Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which integrates empirical evidence on what makes love last. Based on 40 years of relationship research, the Gottman approach takes the guess-work out of how we can cultivate strong & lasting relationships. When working to increase sexual & emotional intimacy, I practice Imago Relationship Therapy.
I use Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or “Tapping”) to help clients reduce stress, panic and anxiety. Tapping is a confluence of mindfulness, self-compassion, exposure therapy, and accessing the body’s ability to down-regulate our stress response through acupuncture points. Tapping is also highly effective in healing traumatic experiences and desensitizing both context specific & interpersonal triggers. You can learn more about Tapping in this Ted Talk & Research Article.
Folks are getting hurt by the misuse of faith-based power. Adverse Religious Experiences can have long-term impacts on our psyche, emotions and self-worth.

From self-acceptance comes the ability to create change in your life. With compassion and creativity, I can help you figure out who you are, how you got to be who you are, and how you can become the kind of person you would like to be. There is hope. You can feel better with some help.
I am an engaging, interactive therapist who believes therapy should be interesting and lively. My areas of expertise include: LGBT concerns and relationships, trauma, depression, anxiety, body image, spirituality, and parenting.

Also establishing satisfying relationships… families.. careers. And growth in spiritual development.
I have been working with folks ion the Poly and Kink community for 10 years or so and appreciate the integrity and dedication of many of my Poly and/or Kink clients.
I have much experience with Bisexual, Lesbian, Gay, Trans and Questioning clients.
The most important thing to me is to assist folks to grow in their ability to love and support themselves … and as a result to have more flourishing relationships of all sorts. I am constantly inspired by the obstacles clients overcome…. And honored to be invited to assist clients on their journey.
These days I offer many coaching and energy-focusing tools to enhance the process. Clients and I also really treasure good conversations that bring out feelings, understandings, and solutions. Currently only insurance that allows “Out of Network Providers” can cover my work. However, my sliding scale is surprisingly flexible. Please see my website for more. - Does phone consultation

HOPE AND HELP FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIP
Your relationship is deeply important. When emotional and physical intimacy break down, it’s easy to get stuck in despair or resentment. The choices seem awful: stay in this depressing situation or leave.
But there’s a third way: get help to move past the hurt and rediscover the joy you once felt. You can stop the fighting, enjoy satisfying sex, rebuild trust, and end abuse. With stronger communication and renewed commitment, your relationship will thrive.
From my own life and my work as a counselor, I know how hard it is to stay connected over the long term. I also know it’s worth it. My research-based approach dramatically reduces the risk of separation and divorce. Your relationship is worth fighting for.
I can help you:
– Bring back warmth and connection – Overcome frustrating sexual issues – Make sense of your unconventional relationship – Put an end to hurtful and abusive behavior
The first step toward getting help is often the hardest. Having the right person on your side as you rebuild your relationship makes a big difference. Call me for a free consultation. I look forward to working with you.

People tend to come to therapy when they find themselves at an impasse. Maybe you are facing a major decision, or an old way of coping has stopped working. Maybe you feel blocked from pursuing something you want. Most of my patients have significant strengths, and are functioning well in many areas of life, but come to therapy because they feel blocked in some important way, or sense that they could be more at ease, more flexible, more able to enjoy the positive things in their lives.
Of course, even very high-functioning people can experience very serious psychiatric symptoms. I have worked well with individuals struggling with anxiety (including panic, worry, and trauma) and mood disorders such as depression.
I particularly enjoy working with people in the LGBTQ community and have worked well with trans or nonbinary people in various stages of transition. I welcome patients with ‘alternative’ sexualities, including polyamory and kink and strive to provide an open, non-judgmental space for all my patients.
I work with adults 18+ only, individuals and couples/polycules.

Even welcomed life changes can create stress and overwhelm, such as, having a new baby, starting college, or entering retirement.
Working together, we will determine the importance of social support, ways to find meaning during this life transition and how to increase your coping skills and self-esteem. If you are dealing with stress I can share with you relaxation training and techniques and show you how mindfulness can reduce stress.
Using a collaborative approach, we will work towards discovering your hidden strengths while developing healthy goals. I will help you to move forward at a pace that works for you.

They also should not be responsible for educating their therapist about his or her interests, sexual activities, or desires.

Carmine is a mental health counselor who is passionate about exploring the role of creativity in therapy, healing, and self-empowerment. She often hears, “I can’t even draw a stick figure!” Yet in her experience, many of these same folks go on to discover creative depths within themselves that serve as vital tools in their own healing.
Collaborating with people to tell their stories through expressive arts (visual art, drama, dance, music) provides new and often-surprising results. Creative activities have been proven to facilitate healing from trauma, provide stress relief, release the capacity for self-expression, and encourage empowerment and recovery.
Making comic books is her own form of self-care, and her art has been published in magazines and social media.
Carmine collaborates with teens and adults individually, or as part of couples and group therapy, on needs ranging from trauma and substance use recovery to mind-body wellness. Carmine welcomes LGBTQI+ clients of all ages. Profile at https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/478519

Are you tired of looking for a therapist who “gets it”? It can be infuriating to have to take the time to explain who you are to someone who may pathologize you, treat you like a novelty, or avoid talking about the relationships, behaviors, and events that are important to you.
You don’t have to separate your personal and social justice values from your desire for compassionate support. You can finally have what you have been looking for.
As a feminist therapist, I support your progressive values and celebrate the unique ways you express your gender or choose to live and love in your body. I can see your strengths as well as your challenges. This can make it easier to build trust, so you can focus on your goals and personal growth.

I completed my Masters thesis as “Discrimination of BDSM Identified Individuals in a Therepeutic Setting.” I am kink friendly, kink aware, and open-minded. If you are looking for a therapist who will treat YOU and not your lifestyle, you’ve come to the right place!
The human mind is an amazing thing! Not so long ago, scientists and other medical experts believed that once damaged, the brain could not heal. We now know that is not true. We also have a better understanding of how the brain stores information, including past trauma, and how it is able to heal itself. The mind and body are intrinsically connected. Traumatic injury to the body and psyche are stored in the mind, and if the trauma is unprocessed, the mind replays the trauma over and over again, expecting or hoping for a new result.
I am experienced in helping clients to process sexual issues, trauma, PTSD, and personality disorders. I am certified in EMDR, which engages the brain’s hippocampus where trauma is processed. It sometimes results in shorter therapy. Overall, I utilize an eclectic approach to help you become a stronger, healthier you. - Does online consultation

My name is Dr. Joe Ippolito. I am a 43-year-old Doctor of Psychology and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota. I have been providing Psychotherapy treatment to individuals, couples and families for over 10 years. In addition to being a clinician, I am an educator, researcher and advocate.
Finding the right psychotherapist can be challenging, especially if your lifestyle choices fall outside of what is considered “normal” by mainstream society.
Everyone–including individuals who are part of alternative relationships–deserves a psychotherapist who understands where they are coming from. I have been working with sexual and gender minorities, and those who fall outside of the mainstream, for 12 years. I have encountered all kinds of sexuality and relationship issues, concerns and problems, and am very open to hearing about new ones.
My Therapy Approach is psychodynamic in orientation and incorporates various therapeutic approaches. I do my best to tailor this approach to suit an individual client’s personality styles, therapeutic preferences and personal needs. Some of the therapeutic approaches used include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Modern Psychoanalysis Techniques, Feminist Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.
The primary goal behind my therapeutic work is to help clients: identify negative thoughts, embrace unwanted feelings, confront life-related problems, reshape self-identified negative behaviors and–in general–feel better!
Areas of expertise include, but are not limited to:

I offer individual, couples or group counseling for a variety of mental health issues. My specialty is working with couples and sex therapy. This can include: financial problems, parenting/co-parenting, affairs, boundary setting, sexual problems, ED, PE, Painful intercourse, transitioning, life changes, premarital counseling, etc. More specifically, I have been trained to work with more that one person in therapy. Most counselors have only been trained to work with one person and struggle with how to manage couples or even multiple people in romantic relationships.
I also understand that poly clients are not always coming to therapy to discuss their romantic relationships. Sometimes, poly clients would like to address problems unrelated to their sex life in an environment that is free from judgment for their lifestyle choices. I can offer this service as well. I work with adults 18+ of any race, ethnicity, religious, or cultural background. I am LGBTQI friendly.
I am in network currently with Blue Cross/Blue Shield. My private fee is based on the length of a session. I charge $120 per 45 minute increment. I offer 45 minute sessions, 1.5 hour sessions, or 3 hour sessions. Insurance only covers 45 minute sessions. I do not offer sliding scale, but will offer discounts for people who will to pay in advance for multiple appointments. Ask your therapist for more details.
Finally, I have a good sense of humor. I run a YouTube channel and podcast called “The About Sex Podcast.” It can be found on google play or ITunes. In this podcast, we playfully discuss a variety of sexual health topics. My goal is to educate people about sex in a way that is fun, meaningful, and helpful. For clients unsure if they will work well with me, they can listen to my podcast to get to know me before setting a therapy session.

I provide a relaxed, open, collaborative and non-judgmental atmosphere. When working with patients, I will cater my approach to your needs, but my natural style is goal-oriented, so I tend to delve into the issues at hand so that you can see improvement in your emotional well-being as quickly as possible. Society tends to define a romantic relationship as a one on one arrangement, but the truth is, that is not always the case.
Whether your relationship involves two or more people, or whether you have (or are considering) an open relationship, working with a polyamory-aware counselor can help you to define your boundaries as a couple, create agreements for a healthy relationship, cope with jealousy, and explore sexual and romantic relationships that fall outside of traditional concepts of monogamous arrangements. If you are beginning to explore your identity or orientation as polyamorous as an individual, it is advisable to work with a counselor who affirms and recognizes this as such.
I understand that a loving relationship can take many forms, and my aim when working with clients is at affirming healthy, ethical, consensual non-monogamous relationships.

I work with adults (individuals, and couples/intimate partnerships including polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships) on any part of gender and/or sexuality exploration. Whether you are just starting your journey of exploration and want extra support, or you are comfortable with your exploration and want a therapist to whom you don’t have to educate on basics of your identities, I’m here to help you be your most authentic self - whatever that looks like.

Finally, I understand that our society is set up in such a way that certain people are valued more than others. Those people that are valued more benefit from certain privileges. I know that systemic racism, oppression, transphobia, sexism, ableism, homophobia, and more are not your fault, but can impact your life and contribute to your mental health. I am well-versed in working with people of color and understand how we often hold more than one identity at any given moment in our lives, and how that impacts how we navigate our worlds.

We all carry pain. This pain can come from many places. For many of us as queer people, it may come from navigating the world with one or more stigmatized identities, or simply from our broader lived experiences. I see therapy as an opportunity to understand and connect to your inner self, your identities, and your pain. I aim for you to feel seen, heard, and held, and for you to see that you, with all your complexities and pain, are whole and enough, just as you are. We will attend to areas of struggle and celebrate your already existing areas of strength. In this way, we can work together to ease the burden of the pain you carry and find relief and healing. To feel joy, as well as pain, is our humanity.
The central tenet of my approach to our work together is mutual curiosity. Together, you and I will co-create a space where you can gain a better understanding of all the different parts of you, where you can discover and grow, and unlearn and shed those things which may not suit your growth, and where you can be both held and challenged with care and compassion.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I pull from different lenses depending on what feels most helpful in the moment. We can utilize a psychodynamic approach to understand how your past experiences may impact you in the present, a cognitive behavioral approach to build awareness around and change unconscious thought patterns that no longer serve you, or a systems approach to acknowledge the impact family, cultural, and institutional systems may have on your life. Overlaying all this, I approach our work together with authenticity, humor, and warmth.

I believe that each person has infinite wisdom within themselves to address life’s challenges. Sometimes we lose access to that wisdom; I see my role as helping clients to reconnect with it. My goal as a therapist is to compassionately assist my clients in realizing their strengths and to cultivate self-compassion.
Drawing heavily from strength-based and narrative therapeutic approaches, I have worked with adolescents, children, adults, couples and families. I have extensive experience working with survivors of trauma, whether it be familial, societal, or medical in nature. I seek to create a safe space for people experiencing marginalization such as GLBTQ clients as well as those who identify as non-monogamous or kinky.
Oftentimes, these experiences are isolating, but you do not have to feel alone.

VortexHealing® - www.vortexhealing.org - works with Divine Healing Energy, Magic, and Divine Consciousness.
Vortex Healing is similar to Reiki where divine healing energy is channeled through a person into the receiver. Vortex Healing becomes different however because it also works directly from divine consciousness. Divine Consciousness is the highest healing vibration you can ever experience. It literally heals and transforms the illusion of separation from the Divine. Any disharmony or trauma within your system; physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and even karmic can be healed on its deepest level. During a session you receive very sophisticated VortexHealing® techniques coming from many divine energetic levels and frequencies simultaneously. Frequencies range from the very light and gentle to the tremendously deep and intense. This works with the rule that there are many levels and dimensions to our consciousness. These levels contain the deepest and hardest to reach levels of negative conditioning. VortexHealing® reaches ALL these levels!
Release of these blockages promotes the greatest acceleration of change and transformation. A few VortexHealing® sessions equal the amount of healing work that may take months or even years to accomplish with other therapies. I say with the utmost confidence that when you walk out of one of my sessions you will leave a transformed soul. - Does phone consultation

Intersectionality: Consideration of how societal and personal factors interact to affect lived experience.
Trauma-informed care: Sensitivity to the ways you’ve learned to get by. Prioritizing your sense of safety and control.

I work well with people who are interested in therapy and the complexities of our experiences - this could include professional decision making, struggling with complicated family relationships and dynamics, and/or the intersections of our identities. I often work with clients who feel tired, confused, scared, hurt, avoid pleasure, don’t feel like they’re good enough, outcasted, silenced, misunderstood and like they’re “too much.” They may fear that they’ll never get better, that others will leave them, that being close to someone else or loved is scary, or that they are unlovable and undeserving of love.
In our work together, I will show up committed to building trust, with an awareness of your strengths and a conversational style that adds lightness. My goal here is to join you as a collaborator in your therapy process, confidence building and exploration of any experiences that have informed who you are today.

Although issues from the past may be discussed, coaching is present- and future-focused and addresses these issues only as they relate to your current life and future goals.
I view your sexuality and gender identity as an important part of who you are, but only as one part of a complex and layered identity.

My goal as a therapist is to partner with clients to build on their strengths and deepen their perspective into the transitions and challenges they face. I have extensive experience working within queer and poly communities, as well as with those who have lived through trauma. While my practice is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I use a variety of techniques tailored to your needs. I am committed to using an anti-oppressive framework that explores how environments, relationships, and circumstances shape your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I offer individual therapy and couples therapy to adults who are 18 and older. While each of my clients brings a unique set of experiences and challenges to therapy, some common areas of therapeutic focus include:
Stress
Anxiety
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Depression

Sexuality

Family and relationship conflict
20 WEST 20TH STREET, SUITE 234, NEW YORK, NY 10011
Everyone deserves to feel at home in their body. The mind and body are impacted when we experience stress and trauma and my approach is to address both. I work using an intersectional feminist perspective with a focus on trauma, gender, sexuality and holistic wellness. I specialize in working with adults from LGBTQ+, TGNCNB, and poly identified communities. I create a supportive environment and utilize my training in trauma-focused, mindfulness-based and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy techniques to help my clients generate insight, be self-reflective and create change. I work with a broad range of issues including stress management, PTSD, childhood trauma, life transitions, feeling stuck and anxiety.
My past experience has included working at the Safe Horizon Counseling Center and The Anti-Violence Project. I am a first generation immigrant clinician and can provide services in Polish. I utilize anti-racist/anti-oppressive frameworks in my collaborative work with clients and believe that deeply rooted within each of us are the tools and knowledge for healing and growth.

I am a relationship enthusiast with 20 years of counseling experience. In the past 10 years, I have focused on counseling individuals, couples and moresomes on creative relationship structures: Polyamory, Open Relationships, Consensual Non-monogamy and Intimacy with a focus on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I also specialize in communication skills, sexuality, career transitions and mood related challenges, including anxiety, OCD and depression. As a member of the polyamorous, LGBTQ, and burner communities, I share my extensive personal and professional experience with clients.
For 9 years I have led the Polyamorous Women’s Discussion Group, a focal point for thought leaders in Consensual Non-Monogamy. Dr. Mark Sisti and I also host the Polyamorous Men’s Discussion Group.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York State (# 012174-1) and received my doctorate in clinical psychology from Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, Yeshiva University, Bronx, NY. My Postdoctoral training in Medical Psychology/AIDS was completed at St. Luke's/Roosevelt Hospital Center, NYC. I hold a Master's Degree in Music and my interests in psychology, music, gender and sexuality are an integral part of my work. This includes working with GLBT people as well as those involved in polyamory and kink. I have a wide variety of experience as a clinician, teacher, writer and speaker and offer services in several specialty areas. Memberships include the American Psychological Association, the New York State Psychological Association, the Performing Arts Medicine Association, Association for the Study of Dreams, and the American Federation of Musicians, Local 802.
As a psychologist and psychotherapist, I believe that psychotherapy is most beneficial when it can address both broad and specific problems and help people find solutions to life's conflicts and stressors. Chronic stress and chronic relational conflicts often become obstacles to leading an emotionally healthy and rewarding existence. Ultimately, I believe the goal of therapy is to enable people to make decisions that will allow them to feel most satisfied, productive and in control of their lives. Likewise, learning to cope with life's everyday stressors, as well as crises can be an important part of psychotherapeutic work. My approach is tailored to individual needs and focuses on building a collaborative dialogue in which to work towards identified therapeutic goals. This includes symptom reduction (anxiety, depression, self-harm), as well as issues pertaining to gender, sexuality, creative blocks, performance anxiety, infertility and parenting issues, among others.

14100 CEDAR RD., SUITE 100, UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, OH 44121
I studied counseling because I wanted to help others maintain their mental wellness and regain their mental health during difficult times. I view mental health as a normal part of life. As such you don’t have to seek my services only when you are struggling. You could come to counseling to discuss issues, feelings, and matters of your everyday life or to organize your ideas or gain clarity about your life or aspects of your life. You can also come to therapy because you are struggling with anxiety or adjusting to a new dynamic or event in your life.
I can help immigrants who are adapting to living in a new culture and are struggling being away from home and adjusting to a new culture. I also enjoy working with teens and their families. I offer support to clients that are experiencing grief. Lastly, I work with individuals and couples who are living or exploring polyamory/consensual non-monogamy.

It’s my job to help you to deal with your issues in a safe, non-judgmental environment, regardless if that environment is in person or via telehealth. More than one in six adults is living with some sort of mental illness and there should be no stigma in seeking help.
I am eager to work with clients of all types and issues. I have strength with teen and adult ADHD. I also have a specific focus on sexual issues and sexual minorities, not just the LGBTQ+ community, but also those involved in ethical non-monogamy, kink, and other “non-traditional” relationships.

Would you like to feel more confident, relaxed, and playful with intimacy and more comfortable and assured with your ability to connect with others? For many people it is difficult to talk about the sexual and relationship difficulties that they experience. Yet these areas are often the source of some of our greatest joys and our deepest pain. Problems in either of these areas often impact your sense of self-worth and decrease your overall happiness.
Using conversation-based therapy, Dr. Jones offers a safe, accepting, and warm environment where you can openly and comfortably talk about your sexual and relationship issues. By working collaboratively you can leave the frustration, disappointment, pressure, anger, guilt, and hurt that you have experienced and move towards intimacy, connection, openness, honesty, trust, acceptance, love, and joy.
Therapy can sometimes be difficult for busy professionals who are often on the go or those who simply don’t feel comfortable visiting a therapist’s office. Thanks to advancements in HIPPA approved online platforms, you can benefit from Dr. Jones’ compassionate approach from anywhere, including the comfort of your very own home. Contact us today to schedule your first appointment and begin your journey toward a happier and healthier you!

It is important to understand how issues such as lack of access to housing, a poor economy, homophobia, sexism, and racism impact upon what we perceive as our individual or family problems.

I don’t take insurance but can provide an invoice for direct reimbursement. I also have a sliding scale for those who cannot afford my full fee.
I treat relationship issues including sexual desire issues, sexual dysfunction, monogamy agreements, negotiation, infidelity, and betrayal. I help with communication around decisions to open, modify or close poly relationships and can work with a variety of groups in a shared therapeutic relationship.
I have over 30 years of experience in the field. Until Covid I traveled around the world speaking on this topic and training other therapists. Now that training continues online. I am committed to helping foster sustainable flexible and fluid relationships that work.

OFFICE: 5 MARKET STREET, PORTSMOUTH NH 03801 / MAILING: PO BOX 327, PORTSMOUTH NH 03802
I work with people ages 15 and older on a myriad of topics. I am especially interested in working with interracial relationships, first/second generation immigrants, queer folx, BIPOCs, men, and sex workers. Areas of specialities include mindfulness, BDSM, gender, ethical non-monogamy, social justice, anxiety, depression, sex therapy, neurodiversity, and trauma.
I provide therapy that is grounded in social justice, queer and feminist theories, and cultural humility. My approach to therapy uses a blend of narrative, attachment-based, and body-focused techniques. In working with intimate relationships, I additionally draw from Emotion Focused and Gottman Method therapies. To put it simply, this means I place you at the center of your own story. I incorporate mind-body connection, emotional experiences, and relationships of all kinds into the therapy space. I truly believe that you deserve to live your best life, and I am here to offer whatever help I may toward that end. I completed my M.S. in marriage and family therapy with a focus on sex therapy at the University of Wisconsin-Stout.
As a child of immigrant parents, I have lived my life in multiple cultures, giving me a unique perspective to the ways in which race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic class may impact someone’s experiences. Due to my own upbringing and education, I work to include these same aspects of life into the therapy room. I don’t presume to know exactly what my clients have been through, but I do know what it is like to navigate the world in a body that has judgments thrust upon it. I want to use that knowledge to validate my clients’ identities and offer support or, possibly, new understandings of the ways these experiences influence the rest of their lives. Though social justice and anti-racism work inform much of my practice, my values rest on centering and working with all forms of marginalization (race, gender, sexuality, class, ability, etc.).

I am LGBTQ+, and gender affirming, sex/kink positive and welcome all relationship configurations. I recognize and value all types of diversity including ethnicity, race, size, gender, sexual orientation, class, religion, and abilities.

406 NE 4TH ST., GRESHAM OR 97030
Counseling Approach & Philosophy I approach counseling with a holistic assumption of the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit. I also assume that there is an innate tendency for clients to grow towards health and wholeness. Rather than labeling old patterns a pathologies, I prefer to recognize them as coping strategies developed as a part of the individual’s attempts for safety and health, which may now be obsolete. In my work I focus on helping clients identify both those patterns that may be holding them back and the skills and resources they have available to become more choice-full in their lives.
I utilize a mindful, body-centered experiential and relational approach. I also pay attention to the systemic nature of interpersonal interaction in relationships and families. Through attention to present moment experience, comes the discovery of beliefs, thoughts, feelings, memories and images that impact daily life in both positive and negative ways. The awareness and corrective emotional experiences in therapy support building resources and adopting more effective patterns.
1730 SE TAYLOR ST., PORRTLAND, OR, 97214, US

6536 S.E. DUKE STREET, PORTLAND, OR, 97206, US
Sometimes in our lives we get surrounded by systems that are supposed to offer us a place of safety, protection and growth become the opposite of these traits. These systems can be organized around our family members, or our beliefs or even just our general social network. Often we don’t recognize the results of these systems, but instead find ourselves stuck, anxious, unable or maybe even unwilling to move from the lives we have had to live as a result of these systems.
I specialize in working with individuals, groups or couples who have emerged from these systems.
My approach is feedback centered, collaborative, and goal-driven. I place special emphasis on the balance between being creative, in the moment, with the use of a personalized structure that supports the overall experience, creating safety, openness and being seen.

I use a Mindfulness & Cognitive Behavioral approach to helping my clients work through issues that come up in their Non Traditional lifestyles.
I believe that human nature in its many forms is always evolving and if we are able to harness and lean into this change and learn to grow in healthy ways we can become our best selves. I seek to build a positive therapeutic relationship with all my clients to better comprehend the problems that they may be dealing with in their lives and attempt to assist them in finding healthy resolutions.
I use an eclectic approach so that I can meet each client where they are on their own personal path of life. I lean heavily on the cognitive-behavioral theory for its distinction between behaviors and thoughts and the narrative theory for its explanation of how we all use stories to interpret our lives.
I create a personalized working theory for each client to better integrate the most appropriate techniques to achieve the client’s goals. I see my role as one of facilitation and guide to assist the client in finding where it is they need to go to fix their own problems. I believe the counselor should encourage the growth of their clients, while providing a safe and confidential space for them to explore the unhealthy thinking and irrational beliefs that underpin their issues.
5319 SW WESTGATE DR #211B, PORTLAND, OR 97221
Poly, non-monogamous, and mixed-orientation relationships are just as unique as monogamous one, be it rewarding / enjoyable or challenging. Relationships can go from absolutely amazing to being on the verge of the breaking point without us even knowing how we got there. Sometimes this means that we need to gain a better understanding of ourselves and the relationship overall. This can happen through self-exploration, communication building, and renegotiating expectations, just to name a few.
Because I work with both those in relationships and individuals I know not everyone I work with will focus directly on their relationship, every client deserves someone who is affirming and accepting of who they are as an individual. I provide services to the broader LGBT community across the lifespan, including children and teens. I also make every attempt to ensure that therapy fits my clients lives and their lifestyles. This means telehealth session so that you can be in your most comfortable environment as well as late evening sessions.
But if you are looking for a therapist that will just nod or agree with everything you have to say, I am not the therapist you. But if you are looking for a therapist that is down to earth, direct, and will help you establish true goals and actually teach you the tools to reach those goals, then you have found the right therapist

Many people have found that they thrive in a relationship structure that stretches beyond monogamy. Having a relationship structure that falls outside the boundaries of what was is deemed as “normal” can bring a variety of unique challenges.

Our therapeutic work can assist in addressing these concerns within the primary couple or your extended relationship structure.

Having been through a separation/near-divorce and my own personal struggles in relationships, I have walked the path of pain and confusion that can happen with people we love. Using Imago Therapy and other techniques my husband and I were able to transform our relationship and deepen our intimacy to create an even better partnership than we thought possible. I really feel passionately about helping other couples do the same, whether they are monogamous, polyamorous or anything in between. Sometimes it’s also about learning how to separate from one another consciously and to co-parent or to remain respectful friends.

I offer decision coaching to individuals, couples and groups who want to solve problems together. I use tools to help you think more creatively and systematically about your big choices, and to help you tackle the small choices along the way and overcome your obstacles.
My approach is very pragmatic, and you will benefit most from working with me if you want to focus on your current situation and your upcoming decisions, rather than on the past. Steps along the way include clarifying core goals and values; evaluating options; dealing with trade-offs, risks and uncertainties; developing smarter solutions; and implementing plans to achieve goals. For couples and groups, the process also includes clarification of common and differing interests. Whenever possible, we will shoot for creative problem solving rather than negotiation and compromises. This works best if all parties are willing to consider new ideas and think harder and further. It is surprising how often the best solutions are not the ones that first come to mind.
We may also work via phone, Skype, FaceTime, or other online channels, including shared online documents and tools.
My Background: PhD in Psychology from the University of Freiburg, Switzerland. Currently teaching decision-making and counseling classes at Portland State University and Marylhurst University. Co-author of the book: “Heart and Mind: Mastering the Art of Decision Making,” and of numerous peer-reviewed research articles in psychology, neuroscience, decision-making, and coaching techniques.

Alex Caroline Robboy is the founder of The Center for Growth, Sex Therapy in Philadelphia. We are a group of sex positive therapists and psychiatrists who offer individual, couples, family therapy and medication management. We work clients struggling with anger, anxiety, compulsions, depression, grief, personality disorders, trauma, relationship issues, sexual function / dysfunction and alternative lifestyles.
We believe that each individual is unique and has the potential to achieve a fulfilling and rewarding life. There is no one best way of living; however, there are techniques and attitudes each of us can adopt to experience more pleasure and achieve an increased level of satisfaction. We define success not by how one completes a particular task, but rather by how one keeps going after a set-back. It is often only through failure that the real learning begins.
In the process of life mistakes are inevitable. We believe that people who are motivated can learn and grow from their mistakes. It is our belief that there is no right way to go through life – only your way.

My style of therapy is one that incorporates asking a lot of questions to help guide clients towards a better understanding of his/her self. Together we explore the impact one's past experiences had/have upon your current sense of self. To create a healthier life for oneself, I believe it is important to be aware of one's thoughts, feelings and behaviors. This awareness is the first step towards creating a different future.
I use a multi-systems approach when working with people. In therapy I will explore with an individual or couple the impact of one's personal history as it relates to current concerns. One therapy goal is to help client(s) learn how to make informed choices about their lives.
My speciality is working with individuals and couples who have concerns or questions about sexuality issues. I also work with people who want to learn how to enhance their sexual relationships. First trained as a sexuality educator, I have been working as a sexologist for twenty years.

Hi! My name is Dr. Lana Holmes. I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in the metro Atlanta area. But more than that, I am a Black, bisexual, woman; a nerd; an Air Force brat; and a punk rocker at heart.
From an early age, I felt compelled to help find ways to lessen, heal, and work through the pain that we all experience as people. Moreover, I wanted to break down why we as people behave, speak, and hold beliefs in ways that compound that pain. And when I looked at my options, clinical psychology resonated with me the most, as a means of doing something about it.
Moreover, I know that those of us who are marginalized and oppressed bear particular kinds of suffering that can be difficult to describe and understand, if you haven’t faced it. That’s why I connect my lived experiences with years of clinical education, training, and work; for a deeper and more authentic style of therapy.
I approach therapy as a collaborator that takes evidence-based treatments and tailors them to the needs of people who work with me. Furthermore, my areas of expertise include: trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, polyamory, BDSM, kink, spirituality, cultural competence, and social justice. Finally, I typically work with adults who are ready to actively invest in therapy.
In terms of working with individuals within the poly community, my therapeutic approach is affirmative, culturally competent (i.e., informed about the cultures/subcultures that overlap with the poly community), and intersectional (i.e., I acknowledge, accept, and welcome the multiple aspects of a person’s identity). To learn more please feel free to book a free 15-minute phone consultation with me at the following link: https://peifer-psychology.clientsecure.me/request/clinician.
Intake Appointment - $215.00, Individual Therapy - $200.00, and Couples Therapy - $225.00. I am an Out of Network provider and do not accept insurance. However, a superbill can be provided for reimbursement through out of network benefits. HSA and FSA can also be used to pay for treatment. I do not do sliding scale fees at this time. Please inquire for more details.

I specialize in open, nonmonogamous relationships such as polyamory and swinging, alternative lifestyles such as kink / BDSM, LGBT+, and secular or alternative faiths such as paganism. Trying to live more freely and authentically can be hard. Some struggle feeling something is wrong with them. Some people have just been polybombed, the love of their life seeming to say they’re not enough. Others, having taken the leap can’t seem to stop fighting. Feeling isolated, scared, tired, and like they’re going to lose everything.
Take a moment to imagine your life as it could be in a few months. You are in love, all over again. With your partner, a new partner, yourself, and how you live. Accepted for who you are, allowed to love in a way that feels natural, you are excited about your new life.
Coming into alternative worlds, I saw people go to amazing therapists who just didn’t understand. I watched friends spend the first few sessions teaching very experienced counsellors the vocabulary of their lifestyles. I believe you deserve a therapist that understands. If you live differently and want a therapist that can hear you, message or call me for a free consultation.

I’ve often wondered where the phrase “falling in love” came from. The “in love” part sounds great, but the hazard of “falling” is that most people get hurt when they fall. I am as much a romantic as the next person, but I’m not in favor of stumbling headfirst into a relationship (as opposed to a fling) without considering all the known risks and benefits - “known” being the crucial word. There are so many unknowns about a partner or lover that we only discover by being in relationship with them, that it behooves us to intelligently consider the known aspects as we face them. I’m of the belief that we do not choose who we fall in love with, which has some inherent risks, so the more insight we can gather about all the parties in the relationship, the better our chance of success will be.
As a therapist, I believe the best way - indeed, the only way - to face the challenges in any intimate relationship is with fearless honesty. How can I trust that my lover’s acceptance of me is genuine if I have not shown him or her my true self? But being vulnerable in a relationship is a scary proposition, and sometimes you may need the help of someone else. As a therapist, I am in a unique position to guide and coach you into learning to develop that habit of honesty, which is essential to safe and healthy intimate relationships. For ethical non-monogamous, polyamorous, or throuple relationships, the need for honesty among all parties is even more essential, and I will honor every risk you take in therapy. I will be your ally, without judgment or shame, as I support you through your journey.
My name is Joyce Miles Jacquote. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I hold licensures in both Texas and Utah. My practice is completely virtual to serve you better where you are! I serve individuals ages 13 years old and up. I am skilled in providing individual counseling, relationship counseling, and family counseling. While I serve individuals from all walks of life, I am especially skilled in serving the Black/Brown community and the LGBTQ+ community.
I believe everyone has their own story to tell and therapy helps them to tell their story in a healthier and more effective manner. My role as a therapist is to help you identify in what way your story is currently not serving you. Then I work with you to develop the skills and tools you need to change your story in the manner you want. If your story includes a history of alcohol or substance use and you would like to reduce and or eliminate that use, I can work with you to do so as well.
I accept insurance in Texas, please reach out to learn which insurances are accepted at this time. I do not accept insurance currently in Utah but hope to do so in the future. For my individuals who may be concerned about the cost of therapy, I offer a few spots for those who would benefit from sliding scale payment.

The desire to know one’s self intimately and for that self to be known and safe in the presence of others is a vital part of the human experience. Therapy is a space where you can practice deepening intimacy with yourself, so that you can share yourself more fully with others. I am a sex-positive therapist who strives to create a safe, non-judgmental environment that is welcoming to all bodies, orientations, relationship configurations, and lifestyles. Your body is not wrong or broken; all of who you are is welcome here.
I enjoy working with a variety of clients and issues. I am especially passionate about working with couples to increase emotional and sexual satisfaction, men’s identity and sexuality issues, grief and loss, body image issues, and gender identity issues. I have significant experience working with queer and transgender clients.
My counseling style is compassionate, collaborative, curious, and playful! I bring highly specialized training and knowledge of sexuality with me into our sessions, and have a particular gift at asking thought-provoking questions that help clients generate new insight into their experiences. My approach is integrative, combining emotionally focused therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, mindfulness training, and self-compassion training.

As a systemically trained therapist, I view my clients within the context of the systems around them, which include their relationships (or lack thereof), and as a collaborative therapist, I keep an open dialogue in the session both about the issues that clients bring in and about the process of therapy itself. I work primarily with older adolescents and adults, and I provide individual, relational, and family therapy.
I specialize in working with clients who engage in consentually non-monogamous relationships (or those exploring non-monogamy as an option for their current relationship), and I am also a kink-aware/friendly therapist. I also specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ folkx, and I am a professional member of WPATH. Although your reasons for therapy may not have anything to do with your sexuality, gender identity, or relationship status, you can work with me and be open about who you are without the fear of being pathologized or judged. You can check out my website or PsychologyToday page for my areas of speciality, or contact me directly to discuss if I would be a good fit for your needs.
I also offer teletherapy (online video therapy) to clients located within Texas. I do not take insurance at this time, but I can provide a superbill for an out-of-network claim.

Nestor Presas believes that seeking and maintaining connections with others is an innate primary striving for all humans. But, commitment without eroticism leave us with the kind of relationship that is strong in commitment, security and comfort but weak in adventure, complicity and playfulness. Some are only interested in relationships that are enduring, but leave no room for ardent frivolity, some know and expect more. My practice, is aimed at creating relationships that are stable, secure, and at the same time meaningful, exciting and playful. I attempt this with a style that is validating and experiential.
I am fully fluent in English and Spanish
I work with all populations except children under 13 years of age and anyone who is abusive to animals

The majority of my experience so far in my career as a therapist has been in trauma, substance use recovery, eating disorder relapse prevention, body image and sex, partnerships and sexual concerns, as well as working with couples, families, and parenting issues. In regard to what I have found in this experience, especially working with eating disorders and substance use recovery, is that what seems to be missing with the recovery process is a sexual recovery component.
I feel that who I am, my authenticity, my message, and showing my humanness sets me apart from many therapists trained to be a blank slate for their clients. The work we do in session does not end there and it is not confined to the hour that I actually see them each week. I am prepared and have the latest evidence-based research to provide support.

My name is Joyce Miles Jacquote. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I hold licensures in both Texas and Utah. My practice is completely virtual to serve you better where you are! I serve individuals ages 13 years old and up. I am skilled in providing individual counseling, relationship counseling, and family counseling. While I serve individuals from all walks of life, I am especially skilled in serving the Black/Brown community and the LGBTQ+ community.
I believe everyone has their own story to tell and therapy helps them to tell their story in a healthier and more effective manner. My role as a therapist is to help you identify in what way your story is currently not serving you. Then I work with you to develop the skills and tools you need to change your story in the manner you want. If your story includes a history of alcohol or substance use and you would like to reduce and or eliminate that use, I can work with you to do so as well.
I accept insurance in Texas, please reach out to learn which insurances are accepted at this time. I do not accept insurance currently in Utah but hope to do so in the future. For my individuals who may be concerned about the cost of therapy, I offer a few spots for those who would benefit from sliding scale payment.

My unique life experiences add a layer of understanding to my academic foundation and will forever shape how I provide service to humanity.

I offer therapy and counseling to help individuals and their partners with relationships and communication. Polyamory may be a framework, but our human needs are still universal - such as connection, love, understanding and trust. What’s different, then? Identifying and understanding all of the thoughts and feelings that might arise (they are all just part of our human experience), and finding ways to allow them, share them, and hold them with caring.
I work with all ages capable of engaging in talk therapy, and with all lifestyles. I am supportive of whatever individuals decide to co-create together. However that looks. I came of age and lived in the Bay Area for so long that I have a sense of the natural variation of human experience that transcends labels and paradigms.
My standard fee is $100 for a 50-minute session. Sometimes longer sessions are more effective. It all depends on the situation and the people. I am a provider with most managed care organizations in the area, and we can speak about how that might work if you want to use health insurance.
My website is a good place to visit if you wish to get a sense of the flavor of who I am, my perspective, and how I work with people. Please feel free to be in touch if you have any questions.

My commitment to my clients is to provide a healthy and healing relational environment to grow more fully into who they want to be. The framework I hold is very relational. Relationships are the context to which we grow our psyche. We often are solely focused on what our relationships provide for our current or imminent needs. Beneath the surface of the immediate is a deeper development of who we are and how we view ourselves and the world around us. My goal is to increase your awareness of your thought patterns, and ultimately to strengthen your choice and influence over these patterns.
Practically speaking, I help people from all walks of life and world views. My goal is to empower you to be present and confident with who you are and how you interact with others. I help people customize their way of being and relationships.

Hello, I’m Caera Gramore. I offer mental health therapy and support in building emotional skills and relational skills through a compassion-based whole-person-in-environment approach. I enjoy assisting clients as they grow and learn, build new relational skills, work through various life challenges, and meet their own personal goals. My passion is to support clients to live a fulfilling life for themselves, knowing that this will look different from one individual to another.
I work with many therapeutic modalities and frameworks, including Trauma-Informed Approach, Relational-Cultural Therapy (RCT), Cultural Humility, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Recovery Model, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Strengths-Based Approach, and Mindfulness.
I have experience in supporting clients through various life events including rebuilding one’s supports after a loss of previous supports, various stages of recovery from addiction, discovering and building on personal and cultural strengths, navigating challenging systems, and accessing additional resources.
I am a gender affirming, LGBTQIA+ friendly, poly friendly, diverse-ability affirming, sex positive, body positive, sex worker friendly, culturally inclusive therapist. I have enjoyed working with members of various populations, including LGBTQIA+ people, people with disabilities and/or chronic illness, unhoused people, and systems-involved people.
My practice is based in Arlington, WA, but I can see clients anywhere in Washington state via teletherapy. I charge $100 per session. I do not accept any insurance, but I can provide a superbill receipt which some insurances will reimburse. For questions or to book an appointment, call 360-336-6349 or email caera@ourhealingmatters.com , or book online for a free 15 minute consultation at www.ourhealingmatters.com

My theoretical approaches integrate existential therapy, attachment theory, and polyvagal theory. This means that I look at how you answer the big questions in life, how you relate to others, and what has affected you and your body, all through a trauma lens. I operate from an inclusionary, compassionate, strengths-based approach that is body positive, sex positive, anti-racist, and anti-oppression.
I have training and experience in attachment theory, polyvagal theory, healing within oppressive systems, working with different forms of trauma, CBT, and DBT. I greatly enjoy working with over 21, LGBTQIA+ folx, those in any of the types of relationships under the umbrella term of consensual non-monogamy, gender identity exploration, sexual identity exploration, kink and kink dynamics, sex workers, differently abled (neurodiverse, physical disability, & chronically ill/spoonies), and any or all intersections of the above. I work with individuals, couples, and moresomes (on an as needed basis). I love helping clients to find feelings of safety in their bodies, and enhance or develop the ability to thrive. Not all clients may desire this, which is completely okay!

My number one goal as a psychotherapist and coach is to provide a space for you to talk, heal, grow, try new ways of being, and become empowered to take your next steps towards the life you want. In business, we seldom think twice about hiring experts and consultants, consulting with a board of directors, or searching for the right mentor to help us create success. History proves that teams succeed where individuals cannot. Why offer less than the same to yourself? If you are tired of walking the path alone, I am here to walk it with you.
I enjoy working with people who think and live on the edges of the normal bell curve. I tend to focus on adults, 30 and up, as individuals and in various relationship configurations. People come to me for a variety of reasons: relationship issues, adjustment to life changes (job loss, divorce, death, breakups), emotional/mental tuneups, rediscovering who they are and why they are here, taking back their lives from anxiety, depression, trauma, and so on. Whatever the reason, I use counseling and coaching techniques to help each person develop and activate a plan to move forward and create more satisfying results in life.
People of all persuasions are welcome at my door: straight, LGBTQ, married, partnered, poly, pagan, Christian, “spiritual” . . . whatever your identification, I look forward to hearing your story and helping you write the next chapter.

My first goal as a therapsit is to offer non-judgmental, non-pathologizing support. All clients deserve to be heard and respected, no matter what their relationship choices. I work best with people who have had an experience of being "outside the norm", and personally celebrate what makes all of us different.
I specialize in working with poly/kinky/asexual clients in my private practice. As a student of human sexuality and anthropology, I understand also the challenges faced by people who undertake monogamy. I also enjoy working with artists, as I am an artist myself, and utilize creative writing and art therapy techniques to help clients better understand and relate to their experience.
I believe that each person is the author of their own experience. No matter what your path has been in your life, your experience is unique to you, and I respect the individuality of your story and your emotions.
Please feel free to email or call if you have any questions about my work. I look forward to hearing from you!

1220 MAIN STREET, SUITE 4, VANCOUVER, WA, 98660
As someone with the interest and courage to follow your heart, you find there are a number of questions that arise with a need for objective, educated, unbiased and helpful answers as you proceed to explore a new path in relationships. I have many years of experience with alternative lifestyles. My approach is to listen to YOU - there is not a simple answer for everyone. You need YOUR solution, not everyone else's. I will listen thoroughly, discuss, and then offer all possible options for you to make an informed decision. I offer ideas that have worked for others in the poly lifestyle and allow you to pick and choose.
What are not as apparent as ideas are the various feelings that subtly arise - fears, doubts, jealousy, anxiety, anger, depression…and all need to be recognized, processed and understood. We aren't as aware of our feelings as we are of our ideas and thoughts, and feelings drive our behavior. We act out at times and don't understand why, or where that behavior came from. Understanding is the best management process - you can't control what you don't understand.
My fees are reasonable - I will work with you so that the fee doesn't interfere with your receiving the assistance you need. I respect your individual desires, needs and wants. I am available for a brief phone interview.

My practice is primarily based in using somatic (body aware) and relational therapy with individuals, couples and groups. I teach people how to literally re-wire their brains to actively reduce habitual stress-based patterns and increase the joy and vitality they generate for themselves on a daily basis. Breakthroughs in the study of the brain and its amazing plasticity have given the world powerful new tools for transformation. I use these tools to promote clarity, hope and resiliency for a more peaceful and loving world.
I support and celebrate poly, kink and other alternative lifestyle choices as viable options for healthy relationships. Being a somewhat unconventional person myself, I enjoy a mobile therapy practice so am not limited to one geographic location or the standard 50 minute therapy hour. I love the transformative power of doing therapeutic process with people, and am happy to work on-site with individuals or multi-partner groups within time frames that best serve the process. I prefer working with folks who have a clear intention of "being the change they want to see in the world". I work on a sliding fee scale to accommodate anyone who demonstrates true commitment to the idea that each of us is responsible for our own peace on this planet. - Does online consultation

I work from psychodynamic and depth psychology perspectives primarily with adults and elders, specializing in the areas anxiety & depression, LGBT issues, and recovery from addiction.
I have spent my career in LGBTQ Community & Mental Health and AIDS Services in Chicago and Seattle. I have a non-judgmental approach to my clients lifestyle and relationship choices. The question is not good or bad, but rather how their choices work or do not work for their lives.
I am particularly interested in the integration of psychology and spirituality. I welcome consideration of my clients spiritual experience and religious history as part of the work. I am open to many ways of understanding this level of experience and I have no expectation that clients hold any particular faith perspective or, for that matter, any whatsoever.

I affirm the fundamental goodness of sexuality in human life, both as a personal need and as an interpersonal bond. I know the unhappiness and anxiety, which sex-negative attitudes can engender in individuals, alienating them from their own body and the bodies of others. I know that such attitudes affect not only a person’s sex life, but also his/her ability to relate well with others.
Sexual wellbeing is more than simply being able to perform. It is also taking responsibility for one’s eroticism as an integral part of one’s personality and involvement with others. Between the extremes of total sexual repression and relentless sexual pursuit, a person can find that unique place, where he/she is free to live a life of self-respect, enjoyment and love.
Each person is a special ensemble of dispositions and needs and his/her uniqueness must be respected. My aim is to provide such information and guidance as will help the individual approach his/her unique sexuality in a realistic and responsible manner, as well as further his/her independent growth, personal integrity, and have a more joyful experience of living. - Does online consultation - Does phone consultation

Populations: I counsel all communities and specialize in non-monogamous relationships, individuals who have participated in the erotic trade industry, and the kink and queer communities.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a private practice, Awen Therapy, in Middleton, WI. My primary area of focus is alternative sex and sexuality along with alternative relationship formations including all forms of ethical non-monogamy such as polyamory. I am well equipped to work with a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, decision making, and general life satisfaction.
My primary therapeutic approach is experiential, meaning I help you get in touch with your emotions, learn how to regulate them and how to integrate them with logical decision making to support you making the best decisions for yourself. I believe that we are happiest when we know our desires well and make decisions from a wise-mind state that incorporates both logic and emotion.
I work with adults and adolescents. I have experience not only helping individuals integrate polyamory into their lives but also supporting polyamorous parents. In addition to my therapy practice I periodically write for various blogs and publications and have presented workshops at various poly and poly-friendly conferences.
I provide online services as well as in person. I offer online coaching for anyone not in Wisconsin. Take advantage of a free 30 minute consultation in person, by phone, or online to see if we would be a good fit. You can schedule a free consultation, intake, or ongoing sessions online at my website awentherapy.com.
