Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

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. I also work with artists, activists, intellectuals and high achievers. I have expertise in treating anxiety, life transitions, creative challenges, perfectionism, avoidance, negative thinking and emotional distress.

I provide individual and couples therapy to help address challenges that impact yourself and your relationships.

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.

As a proud second-generation Latinx person, I understand the importance of respecting your unique intersectionality and the desperate need to decolonize psychotherapy. Therefore, I offer a space for you to safely explore cognitive and relationship patterns with a well-trained, empathic, affirming person of color. I may be a person of color trained in some of the top educational institutions, but I have never lost sight of the complex challenges we have and continue to face daily in our society. Together, we can explore the beauty and power of the unique intersectionality we each experience. So, contact me, and we can discuss the next steps.

I look forward to speaking.

I am a board certified sexologist with a master’s degree in human sexuality and an associate in sex education. The focus of my clinical sexology and sex coaching practice is on healthy and pleasurable sexuality. I welcome and am experienced in working with individuals and couples in nontraditional relationships. - Does phone consultation

Hello and Welcome! Many people experience shame or discomfort in their relationships, preferences, sexuality or orientation. I enjoy helping individuals and couples who may be struggling in these areas. I also enjoy working with clients who are gender diverse, are thinking about or currently transitioning, and so forth. I have a Sex Therapy Certification through the Sexual Health Alliance, and I tend to utilize integrative approaches with clients. Being able to draw from multiple techniques and modalities lets me cater treatment to each individual client’s unique needs. I graduated from Capella with a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and have also attended human trafficking training.

It has been a dream of mine to become a therapist since I was about 11 years old. I have lived in Austin for almost my entire life. Sexual health discussions have never made me uncomfortable in any way, and I like to provide a safe space for clients to discuss these topics.

I am a somatic psychotherapist in practice part-time in Hillsborough, NC and via telehealth. My great professional love is Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, which I teach as a trainer for Hakomi Institute in the US, Europe, and worldwide via ZOOM. I am passionate about helping people gently and mindfully explore who and how they are in their lives through accessing the body’s wisdom.

As both a member and ally of the polyamorous community, I am familiar with the intricacies of navigating and exploring this relationship style. I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing psychotherapy through a lens of sex positivity, in addition to being kink informed and familiar with other alternative communities. I am passionate about guiding individuals and couples on a journey to discover their own unique expression, and the way in which that presents in their daily life. We carry with us stories and patterns that have likely served us in the past, but may no longer serve us. This can exacerbate symptoms of anxiety, depression or other mental health symptoms. Exploring and recognizing, with gentleness, how these patterns have become detrimental, gives us the freedom to choose what themes we insert in our life, and what we no longer have space for.

I take a collaborative approach, giving respect to your autonomy and your choices. We will work on identifying sustainable goals together, restoring your resiliency, and honoring your strengths. I offer traditional talk therapy for individuals, families and couples, including folks who identify as poly, kink, and LGBTQ. My focus is on attachment, relational influences and creative expression. I also offer complementary practices such as Reiki and meditation exercises to gain better understanding and control over the physical effects of emotions. The best way to reach me is via email.

I have experience working with gender, relational, and sexually diverse individuals and am knowledgeable about sexual health and wellness topics. I work with individuals, couples, and consenting non-monogamy-poly relationships. I have a background in working with adolescents and primarily work with adults. I believe in starting wherever the client, couple, or family unit is and enjoy working with the overlapping identities and orientations we carry into the different parts of our lives.

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.

Partners, parents, teens, POC, and LGBTQ folks are all welcomed. I focus extensively on psychotherapy and treating emotional and mental suffering in people without pharmaceuticals. People of color, women, trans, non-binary folks, lgbt communities where mental health was more stigmatized can benefit from a space to center your mental health and drop stigma.

If you have questions about any technical terms or generally things like “what’s the difference between psychotherapy and psychiatry?” feel free to bring it up during our phone consultation. Looking forward to hearing from you.
