Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I see individual adult clients who are struggling with aspect of being in poly relationships. I tend to explore childhood relationships with parents and other caregivers that are contributing to issues around intimacy in adult relationships.

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 a sex positive Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a private practice in New York City. My clients are adults of all genders and sexual orientation. I am knowledgeable and familiar with non-heteronormative sexual lifestyles, including polyamory, kink, and BDSM. I am also active in these communities.

I have expertise and specialized training in treating alcohol and substance use disorders, sexual compulsivity, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. I utilize a varied range of treatment modalities, and I’m trained in EMDR. I have over a decade in the field as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I worked with the Fire Department of New York Counseling Service Unit, where I started the day before 9/11.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience working with the LGBTQ community including polyamorous, transgendered, and nonbinary clients. I work with adolescents ages 14 and up, and adults.

Licensed in 1987, I have served the LGBT and gay leather communities for 33 years. For the last 20 of those years I have also served the broader kink, poly and CNM communities. I have training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, which of course I re-vision to include all consenting non-monogamous relationships. After all, infants don’t bond to just one person, and neither need adults. I have provided now countless workshops on poly and kink to our community, and also presented on poly and kink to professional groups. Over the last decade I have been the Clinical Supervisor for a number of GSRD-positive therapists who were working toward their licensure. Jennifer Rehor, LMFT and I co-founded the San Diego GSRD-Affirmative-Therapists Forum, which meets twice a year (Covid allowing.) I serve adults with the following concerns: Relationship Therapy, Intimacy, Depression, Anxiety, Inner Financial Health.

Providing individual counseling to adults with LGBT related concerns and/or in polyamorous relationships – especially when coming from a more religiously conservative background.

Welcome! I’m John Szudera, Clinical Director and Owner of Canopy Behavioral Health. I’m a licensed professional counselor and marriage and family therapist serving clients in Colorado and Idaho. I have an office in Broomfield, CO, where I see in-office clients, and I provide telehealth services to clients throughout CO and ID. I created Canopy Behavioral Health to serve others in an environment that is supportive for the client to explore areas of need.

I provide services to individual adults and relationships of all kinds. I specialize in relationship discourse (all orientations), poly/CNM relationship dynamics, LGBTQIA+ issues, neurodiversity, autism, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I am a firm believer that relationships and connection are intrinsic to personal development and each person’s values are important in the development of a course of treatment based on the goals and desired outcome clients have selected.

John seeks to create a safe and open atmosphere where clients can collaboratively explore their challenges. He incorporates transgenerational, social justice, and relational perspectives in identifying and moving toward client goals. John has worked with individuals, families, intimate partners, adolescents, and children on many difficulties including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, communication, conflict resolution, substance use, trauma, life transitions, and identity. John is an LGBTQ-affirmative and polyam-affirmative therapist with strong clinical interests in experiences related to transitions in identity, consensual non-monogamy or non-traditional relationships, and experiences of discrimination.

I work with persons in various open, semi-open, and closed relational groups, including single persons trying to figure out what relationships are best for them. Also, I’ve experience working with trans persons, persons who are HIV positive, and the additional complexities of interracial, intercultural, intergenerational relationships within BDSM dynamics as well. I can work with PPO plans as an out of network provider, but am only in network with MHN; contact me in advance if you are with MHN because availability is limited. I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist, and as such can only provide services in CA; and I only provide couples sessions in person, but for individuals I can do skype/phone sessions for CA residents.

I work with arty, creative, queer, pagan, non-monogamous, kinky, and neurodivergent individuals who are navigating trauma, grief, and other challenges. My clients often identify as the “weirdos and nerds” of their communities, with a deep love for learning and personal growth.

I specialize in trauma and grief in their many forms and effects. I work with these deeply personal challenges, along with related coping mechanisms:

• Substance use
• Sleep and eating issues
• Relationship instability
• Low self-worth
• Irritability or anger

Trauma manifests uniquely in each person’s life, and a truly “trauma-informed” practice is adaptive and responsive to these varied needs. I also provide insights and techniques to help with relationships, cognition, and emotional regulation.

Specialties: I work with individuals who are seeking a compassionate and encouraging voice to speak with and find ways to better manage life. My Focus is on Adult ADHD, Navigating Relationships, Poly, and Queer/ Trans Identities , Mood Concerns and Anxiety Management . I come from an anti-Oppressive and Anti Racist perspective and have trained in CBT, DBT and Narrative Therapy.

I speak English

I work with people who are endeavouring to create deep change in their lives and want to better know themselves. I work from an integrative perspective that includes Internal Family Systems therapy, somatic and relational approaches, mindfulness, and other experiential modalities. I work with people aged 16 and upwards, with concerns ranging from anxiety, depression, identity journeys, meaning crisis, chronic pain, relationship issues, stress, and more.

I blend psychodynamic therapy with CBT, ACT and DBT, using a client-centered and trauma-informed approach. I am experienced in harm reduction and LGBTQI support, and am kink, polyamory and sex work positive. I integrate mindfulness and creativity into therapy, valuing direct feedback and home. I aim to build a supportive, growth-oriented therapeutic relationship.

Individuals, couples, and relationship therapist who is LGBTQ+ affirming. Trauma-informed. Poly/Non-monogamous, kink, BDSM, and sex worker friendly. Sessions available in English

Affirmation and understanding by a counselor is foundational to successful therapy. I am sex positive and committed to ongoing efforts to understand and affirm all varieties of consensual romantic, sexual, and interpersonal connections. I collaborate with couples, groups, and individuals who practice or are exploring polyamory, swinging, kink, or other “non-traditional” relationships. I am a member of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF) and listed on the Poly Friendly Professionals and Bisexuality-Aware Professionals directories. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and committed to the promotion of dignity for all people. I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, gender dysphoria, life transitions, relationship concerns, sexual intimacy concerns, career concerns, academic concerns, behavioral concerns, low self-esteem, sleep problems, substance use, self-harm, personality disorders.

I provide individual, and couples or partner therapy in a private practice setting for adults 18+. I utilize a Rogerian and Humanistic approach, focusing on interpersonal relationships, the importance of communication, and believing that change is possible. I provide teletherapy options and also walk and talk therapy (walk in the community for session rather than sit in the office).

I believe you are powerful—that you can change your circumstances and experience. I will work closely with you, trying to understand what it’s like to be you, so your life can be more like you want it to be – and so you can understand better how, and why, it is as it is.

I am open and non-judgmental. I listen well, and bring a curiosity—and a refusal to judge—to your experience that can help you perceive choices and options you didn’t know were possible.

I want to know what it is like to be you. If we decide to work together, we will use what you tell me, and our relationship, to explore. I’m particularly interested in internal conflicts—as, for example, when we “want” one thing but do another—and in the unconscious—those things we don’t know or understand about ourselves, and about who, why, or how we are. You can learn more about how I work here.

I am particularly interested in oppositions, dualities, and spectrums—love and hate; shame and pride; pleasure and pain; vanilla and kink; monogamy, polyamory, and ethical, consensual non-monogamy; and so on. My clinical experience is that binaries are rarely as clear—or as binding—as we might imagine, and often, exploring how we relate to them can be fruitful—even liberating.

I prefer to see people more than once a week, and will work with you to establish a fee that feels reasonable and fair. If we can’t agree on a fee, I will try hard to find someone with whom you can.

I am a mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral psychologist who sees clients individually, with a focus on serving gender and sexual minorities as well as women of color.

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.

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.
