Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I am a therapist with over 18 years of experience in providing therapy for a wide range of clients and their concerns. I work with adults 18-99+. I have many years of experience with helping individuals and families in a wide variety of consensual alternative lifestyle situations. I am pagan/poly/LGBTQ friendly. I offer non-judgemental therapy using holistic approaches such as Emotional Freedom Technique and mindfulness in conjunction with traditional talk therapy. I hold certifications for Clinical Trauma Professional and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

My fees are $80.00 for individual and family sessions and $20.00 for group sessions. I am working on panels for several insurances. If your insurance provides out of network benefits, I can provide the information that you need to be reimbursed by your insurance for therapy. I do offer a sliding scale fee for those in need. Please contact me for details.

My top three clinical interests include working with individuals practicing consensual non-monogamy and BDSM, creative professionals, and individuals experiencing depression and anxiety, utilizing motivational Interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I serve english speaking individuals from ages 18+ with a focus on life transitions, professional development, navigating oppressive systems, and individual work regarding relationships. I heavily work with anxiety and depression.

A person or a couple seeking therapy deserves tremendous respect. I believe that therapy is a place of growth where human connection with your therapist, empathy and unconditional acceptance are balanced with a challenge. Both are necessary to gain a new perspective, overcome internal barriers, and experience new, healthier, and more fulfilling ways of being. The years of experience and advanced post-graduate training I received make me believe in couples’ and individuals’ potential to grow and heal. I view our work as an interesting, energizing process that helps you to better understand yourself and your partner(s), to have healthier relationship(s), to enhance your ability to cope with stress and ultimately to become a happier person. Our work would recognize the uniqueness of your circumstances, of your relationship and of each partner’s personality.

I welcome all relationships, including LGBTQ couples, CNM relationships, and mixed-culture couples. I work with all cultures, ethnic groups, races and religions. I am striving to understand my patients, and if I am not familiar with your culture, I will take it upon myself to learn more on my own and together with you.

In addition to English, I speak French and Russian. I specialize in working with those dealing with infertility. I also find delight in helping couples navigate life transitions- adjusting to becoming parents, challenges of living with adolescent kids or young adults who still stay in the house, empty nesters syndrome, blended families etc.

I am an attorney-turned-therapist licensed in Texas to provide counseling. I provide sex therapy, including therapy for relationships, whether those relationships are couples or poly or as defined by the persons in the relationship.

My working style gives clients a safe space to find authentic expression about their life’s struggles and build healthy solutions that produce positive perspective and empowerment.

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.

Greetings, I am a relationship and family therapist here in Boulder Colorado with immediate availability for both in-person and online appointments (for those located in Colorad). I work with all sorts of folx including non-monogamous, poly, queer, trans, and kinky. My work is rooted in narrative therapy and strives to amplify marginalized voices as we untangle constraining stories to seek agency, autonomy, and power over your and your community’s stories.

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.

Nashville is still a traditional town, one that’s brimming with faith-based counselors and conventional therapists who cater to clients in traditional marriages with traditional family values.

Working from a foundation of honesty, integrity, and consent, I offer practical skills, a trained perspective, and a safe space to work through challenging feelings and new experiences. I work with a wide array of people and issues, including couples new to ethical non-monogamy; polyamorous relationships; polyfidelitous relationships; swingers; BDSM partners; agreements and agreement violations; managing new relationship energy; coping with jealousy; fostering compersion; and sexual health and safety.

My work is confidential and collaborative, and my office is a safe space to explore your concerns and how we can work through them together. I address all aspects of my clients’ lives including friendships, family, culture and spirituality. My approach to psychotherapy is cognitive behavioural, narrative, relational, solution-focused, strengths-based and anti-oppressive.

I have a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Toronto, a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from the University of British Columbia, and an Advanced Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy from The Hincks-Dellcrest Centre / University of Toronto.
