Are you in emotional pain? Are you depressed and lacking in self esteem? Upset with your relationships or partner/s? I am a gay and poly affirming psychotherapist and, you don't have to feel this way. Therapy can help you end the pain. Seeking counseling is not a sign of weakness, nor does it imply that you lack the ability to function as a balanced person. Actually, it is a sign of strength to recognize you may need to work on certain issues. Lets work together to make the changes you want a reality.

People seek therapy because they feel like they are not living the life they want. Do you have the life you desire? I offer caring and supportive psychotherapy. With a special heart for creative and poly individuals. You can transform and I am dedicated to your achievement of that success.

We will approach your challenges holistically and collaboratively. I offer over six years of clinical and teaching experience. The celebration of diversity is a guiding principal behind my work. Individuals, partners and polyamerious are welcome. I am looking forward to working with you. Call today to schedule your session.

I work to meet people where they are and help them to unravel psychological problems that are negatively impacting their lives. I utilize a collaborative approach to therapy where I’ll explain what we’re doing and why so that we can engage in the process together. My goal is to help people to get back on the path towards happiness and living as well as they can.

I specialize in sex and sexuality related disorders (such as “sex addiction,” sexual abuse, or performance anxiety), trauma and stress related disorders (such as PTSD) from a variety of causes (rape, car accident, injury), mood disorders (such as Anxiety and Depression), and relationship and couples’ issues (such as affairs and relationship conflict). Psychotherapy isn’t always easy, but it can help you to live better and to achieve a life closer to what you desire. If that interests you, reach out.

I offer a welcoming and non-judgmental space for exploration of all emotional and relational issues - where all sexualities, gender identities and relationship configurations are respected and valued. - Does online consultation

I work in individual and partner counseling for both the straight and LGBTQIA+ communities. We’ll work together to explore your values and emotions to see how they are serving you and how they are impacting your life, including your relationships. I do offer a sliding scale for a limited number of clients, so please reach out to discuss. I offer both 50 minute and 80 minute sessions, depending on your needs.

As your therapist, I hope to provide a space for ALL of you, your joy, pain, fear, courage, and compassion. I began my love of therapy first as a client working through my own lived traumas. I spent a lot of time with therapists who didn’t look or have experiences like me. I found relief, but I never felt the depth I needed to truly heal. This inspired me to become a therapist.

The world we live in now is overwhelming at times, with an overload of information, divisive news outlets, and all of that on top of the daily ins and outs of just living as a human. Identity is more complicated than it has felt before and it is getting harder for us to connect with one another. I am passionate about working alongside my clients and finding a way to reconnect with themselves and their community. I do work with individuals, however, the more people in the room, it is my belief the deeper the work we can do. Bring the whole family or your special someone whoever is important to you.

Through my own healing work and my Master of Science in Couples and Family Therapy at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL, I have realized that so many of our struggles originate with the expectations of society, our families, and the stories that we believe about ourselves. Identifying how this shows up for you is an important part of the process as well as deciding what stories you want to believe about yourself. We work together on making the choices you want for the change in you and your families lives.

I use Solution-Focused, Narrative, Bowen Family System and Trauma-Informed models in my healing work with a focus on Decolonial and Indigenous frameworks. I am Afro-Peruvian, European, Panamanian and I was born in the US. I am from the Inca and Moche peoples. I have lived experiences with the immigration, prison, foster care, correctional, mental health, and education systems.

I have experience working with LGBTQIA+ couples and families and have supported families through transitions. I also work with non-traditional couples and families including but not limited to same-sex, multicultural, polyamorous, and kink. I am passionate about seeing you for who you are, not for what the world might want you to be.

As a therapist, I am highly versed in working with many different polyamorous dynamics and relationship constellations. Particular specializations of mine include working with polyamory in the LGBTQIA populations, BDSM and kink identities, and developing strong, sex positive, healthy relationships. I specialize in working with Gender, Sexuality, and Sex Therapy with individuals, relationships, and families. Entwine Therapy is founded on the idea that all aspects of our lives are connected. When we are stunted or limited in one space of life, we cannot truly express ourselves in the other places, hindering us from being the most authentic version of ourselves. Equally, finding full expression and growth in challenging areas of life creates a network of personal development in other avenues. At Entwine Therapy, I focus on facilitating growth for individuals and relationships so they can gain a greater sense of equilibrium and excellence in their lives. I am dedicated to helping you build strong relationships with yourself and others, and healing fractures in healthy development that hinder achieving your own excellence. I believe that every individual’s story is unique and valuable. You are choosing to take brave step in the direction of your own growth!

Jaxx Alutalica (they/them) is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist with extensive experience working with poly relationship systems and the individuals in them. In addition to understanding the nuances of non-monogamy, they also specialize in working with BDSM/kink, gender identity exploration and gender transition, folx engaged presently or formerly in sex work, those healing from sexual trauma, and navigating issues of sex and sexuality with oneself and others. Jaxx engages with therapy through a trauma-informed lens that incorporates the experience of the body as well as the mind and spirit in order to facilitate healing of the whole self. Therapy with Jaxx is informed by a social and sexual justice perspective, incorporating somatic and holistic approaches to create a safe space for you to explore the impact of privilege, colonization, sexism, homophobia, fatphobia, transphobia, racism, ableism and other “isms” which impact our experience. For Jaxx, being a therapist is about connecting with people in ways that are vulnerable, honest, and genuine. Jaxx’s approach is body-focused, experiential, and research-informed. They utilize an intersectional approach to their work, which considers that our identities affect the way we show up in our personal lives and in relationships. By continually considering topics of gender, sexuality, race, class, faith, disability, and other intersectional identities, Jaxx’s clients are able to bring their whole selves into therapy without fear of judgment or restriction.

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 hold myself and my clients accountable to the goals we set together, approaching our work with diligence, consideration, and grace. Our therapeutic space is a collaborative one, and I adapt my techniques to meet your specific needs. However, one thing remains constant: my unwavering commitment to giving my best to help you become the best version of yourself.

As a scientist-practitioner, I am passionate about utilizing evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, and Liberation Psychology.

I am also dedicated to supporting individuals exploring and processing trauma, faith deconstruction and religious trauma, substance use, men’s issues, LGBTQ+ identity development, transitions (gender and life), racial identity development, self-esteem, and ADHD/Autism. For couples work I am affirming to both monogamous and polyamorous couples.

My passion in being a psychotherapist is the honor of being present on people’s journey’s to learning how to live fearlessly. I enjoy using CBT/DBT and trauma informed care as well as other eclectic and creative ways to identify challenges and create goals that work for each person so they can feel authentic in their day to day. Typically addressing anxieties and large life transitions, we take a look at the patterns to the how and why we are the way we are and then reframe them in a way that builds on strengths. I highly enjoy working with those who identify on the LGBTQ spectrum as well as those with HIV health challenges. A really unique piece of my practice includes occasionally meeting in the community park for walking sessions. I offer Individual and family counseling and accept some Blue Shield of CA and some Aetna plans as well as private pay (can provide a superbill if needed).

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.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA) in WA State, Registered Provisional Art Therapist (ATR-P), ABS Certified Sexologist, and am currently working towards AASECT sex therapy certification under the supervision of Anne Mauro, Kim Castelo, and Tom Murray. I have earned my M.A. in Couple and Family Therapy with specializations in Creative Arts Therapy and Sex Therapy at Antioch University in Seattle, WA. Additionally, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Neuropsychotherapy (NPT-C) techniques for trauma treatment. I am also trained in Gottman Therapy methods and as a Gottman Leader for the 7 Principles of Making Marriage Work program and a Gottman Educator for the Bringing Baby Home program. I own a private practice, Creative Wellbeings, in Tacoma, WA, and work with a variety of clients (ages 13+) wanting to gain more knowledge about themselves and their experiences.

I am passionate about helping others find their creative energy in life, whether that be through talking, art-making, or mindful movement. What I value most about my work is helping my clients become more knowledgeable about their own needs, desires, and pleasures and using that to propel their therapeutic process. Additionally, I aim to help individuals and families strengthen their relationships to create lasting changes.

I offer a neutral, strength-based approach to my work to help you feel validated throughout your therapeutic journey. I utilize a systemic and holistic lens when viewing my work as I believe there is a strong connection between the mind, body, and spirit in relation to the various systems of the world that you may enter into. In addition, I offer an open, non-judgmental stance in my space and welcome those who are LGBTQIA+, non-monogamous, sex workers, and/or kinky.

My background prior to private practice encompassed a variety of settings and populations. My clinical journey began with children and teens with Autism Spectrum Disorders and behavioral disorders in schools, clinics, and in-home. I also worked in residential Eating Disorder treatment which has allowed me to become well informed in the assessment and treatment of eating disorders. My journey then brought me to work in residential treatment with clients who experience Severe and Persistent Mental Illness and in youth shelters for houseless youth under 24. During this time, I also worked as a home based Sex Educator for families wanting extra support in educating their children. During my clinical school internships, I worked with children/teens, families, couples, and adults. My wide range of experience has allowed me to provide many resources for my clients and has given me assessment tools for many issues that some clinicians may overlook.

I empower clients to live a meaningful and purposeful life, feel a sense of safety in their bodies, and understand their own behavioral and attachment patterns. I am trained in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), a values-driven, behavioral therapy that helps us feel more aligned with ourselves in the choices we make. I also draw from attachment theory, internal family systems (IFS), and somatic approaches. My practice is feminist, anti-oppressive, sex-positive, and queer-affirming.

I value connection, authenticity, and autonomy. I understand that living and operating within the systems of modern life is distressing. I am an active member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and I seek to educate myself through the experiences of others in the queer community.

I enjoy working with adults struggling with a sense of self and identity, the LGBTQIA+ community, and individuals feeling stuck or unmotivated.

In addition to working with individuals, I provide relationship counseling to partners who find themselves repeating the same arguments, engaging in behaviors that don’t feel helpful, navigating life transitions, or who simply want to communicate and understand one another better. My work with relationships is grounded in ACT and interpersonal therapy.

At Spectra Counselling, I offer narrative and person-centred integrative counselling for people who are looking for an inclusive service that focuses on supporting multifaceted identities. I provide relationship counselling for people looking to explore ethical non-monogamy or support their polyamorous relationships, and individual counselling for people in the rainbow community, kinksters, sex-workers, immigrants, and other marginalized communities. I offer concession rates on Sundays and Tuesdays for people who find paying for continuous mental health support challenging, and offer telephone and zoom counselling for people who live outside of the region.
