Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I focus on sources of inner conflict that may be tied to different labels society puts on you and work on alleviating any shame you may experience from this. This includes sexual orientation, religion, race and ethnicity, body shape/size, among others. I also have ample experience working with those who experienced emotional/physical abuse, and different trauma-bonding attachment styles (“why do I keep going back to my ex?”). 

I strive to co-create a courageous space so you can express yourself freely and feel heard, seen, and cared for by me. We’ll stay mindful of both verbal and non-verbal cues, as well as your emotions, thoughts, and bodily sensations. I approach the therapeutic journey with a both/and perspective instead of either/or (informed by DBT), which allows us to hold space for multiple things at the same time (ex: I’m mad at my parents and also recognize that they did their best).

I have experience working with BIPOC individuals, sexually and gender diverse people, poly/CNM, BDSM/kink, and people with minor attraction. I have successfully supported people in their healing from trauma (especially religious and cultural), abuse/neglect, shame, internal conflicts, and toxic relationships.

I am a nonbinary, neurodivergent, kink-positive and polyamory-positive licensed social worker located in the state of New York, working with adults and teens through Feya Health. My philosophy focuses on helping clients identify their strengths and see their resilience. That means that I want to help you to develop a positive self-image and a practice of honoring your needs, even when you feel overwhelmed by life stressors like discrimination. (Also, it means I think you’re a badass!)

My areas of expertise include working with the LGBT+ and neurodivergent communities and empowering clients to self-advocate. In addition to just traditional talk therapy, I’m trained in cutting-edge treatment methods such as EMDR and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. My practice is primarily telehealth, because making myself accessible to clients with mobility needs is important to me. A few of my clinical interests are the life stressors of intersectional marginalization, coping with trauma, psychoshamanic therapy, narrative and creative modalities, practice with groups, and the therapeutic benefits of tabletop roleplaying games.

I’m a non-traditional relationship therapist and I’ve completed over 100 hours of evidence-based relationship and couples therapy trainings. I provide emotionally focused, trauma-informed, queer affirming, sex positive, poly and kink friendly relationship therapy.

Are you opening your relationship and looking for a non-monogamy roadmap? Or maybe you and your partner(s) have already opened up but you need help defining your boundaries, creating healthy agreements, and navigating jealousy? Do you want to explore new fetishes, start going to play parties, or negotiate a BDSM contract? How you love is so valid. And together we can create a relationship that honors everyone’s needs, boundaries, limits, and desires. No matter what has happened that has brought you to therapy, there is a way through. I’m not afraid to go into dark places with you. In therapy, I’ll listen deeply, move you out of conflict cycles, and help you heal emotional wounds. You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to help.

“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

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.

Published researcher on highly sexual women. I have been a professional counselor/therapist for 30 years. I am knowledgeable about and accepting of a wide variety of alternative lifestyles including poly and BDSM. I am comfortable working with both relationship and individual issues of all sorts with clients of any sexual orientation and any lifestyle. In addition to therapy, as a sexologist I can provide coaching/counseling for sexual enhancement, that is, assisting couples in learning to extend and enhance their pleasure. My practice primarily involves using Cognitive Therapy on a short term basis to assist clients in learning to think differently and live more satisfying lives. At least a third of clients coming to see me have issues related to anxiety and panic disorder, including physical ailments that are stress related. Other common issues (in addtion to relationship conflicts)include anger management, depression, and substance abuse.

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.

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.

I offer Individual and Couples therapy sessions. I specialize in relationship conflict and challenges from general concerns to impacts of human trafficking or domestic violence. I also specialize in working with the Ethical-Non-monogamy community, Men, victims of trauma, and anyone suffering from anxiety, depression, stress or challenging life transitions.

Bio: I am a clinical psychologist and AODA counselor specializing in mood disorders, substance use disorders, anxiety, and issues impacting the LGBTQIA community. I am also a polyamorous/CSM and kink affirming clinician and provide a discreet environment to discuss relationship issues, improve connections with others, and learn more about yourself. By using new coping skills, understanding behavior patterns, and making changes, you can live a more fulfilling life.

I am a certified EMDR therapist and certified trauma professional who specializes in working with lgbtq communities, kink/bdsm communities, and non monogamous communities. I work with adolescents and above, individuals and relationships.

I am a somatic trauma, relationship & sex therapist that provides polyamory-affirming, LGBTQIA+ -affirming, and kink-affirming services.

The couples, partners, and individuals (adults and teens) I work with have various presenting concerns and intersecting identities, but many of them are Latinx/Latina, polyamorous, kinky, neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ and/or QTPOC. I am passionate about supporting folks who have experienced personal, systemic, sexual, and relational difficulties due to traumatic life events (including systemic oppression) with somatic modalities and techniques to help increase regulation, pleasure, intimacy, ease, and sexual wellness. I provide teletherapy for anyone in the state of Michigan and Florida.

In a world where we have been made to believe that “one size fits all”, many have felt dismissed or overlooked when seeking out therapy. I have learned that mental illness does not discriminate and “one size” does not fit all – in clothes or therapy. I make sure to stay flexible to your needs for therapy and ask for your feedback at the end of the session so that I may improve the next session. It’s important to me that I give my clients a selection of tools allowing them to see which ones work best for them and helping them feel confident in using them.

All of my services are provided via telehealth.

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.
