Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

My strengths are with women of all life stages experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship/sexual issues and ADHD. I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Theory in my clinical work. I also chose to approach my work with clients through a feminist lens, because women today are still living under the social influence of a patriarchal context. Women continue to feel the impact of not having their needs taken seriously, and this includes mental health care. Mental health care from a feminist lens is not only about the treatment of symptoms, but also about being heard, finding fulfillment, being flexible, free, and exercising choice in your own life. ACT is uniquely suited to help unlearn the toxic messages we’ve all been taught from birth about gender and what women are capable of. Unlike the Western medical model that is authoritarian and hierarchical, ACT is a therapy rooted in behavioral and mindfulness traditions that place the clinician at the same level as the client. I believe that these two theories integrated together are uniquely suited to the needs and preferences of the people in the ethical non-monogamous/polyamorous community.

I provide therapeutic treatment for individuals, couples, and groups facing seeming impasses and resulting physical and emotional symptoms. I have specialized training in trauma and work with survivors, to uncover missed experiences and process traumatic happenings that may have previously left an imprint within the nervous system. With couples managing trauma, we look for new ways to improve capacities to maintain regulation and find ease in the relationship. In therapy we will collaboratively honor the lengths taken to survive our experiences and work to pave a path to thriving.

My approach is mindful and dialogic. I encourage exploration and have a knack for helping smart people move passed self-limiting thoughts and behaviours. As a practicing Buddhist and a yogi there is a transpersonal bend to the space I hold, but I do not push nor promote any schools of thought. I pride myself on upholding a level of cultural competence I feel necessary to facilitate change in community and growth in therapy. My practice is open, accepting, poly-versed, kink aware, and LGBTQIA+ affirming.

As a somatic clinician, I am sensitive not only to the cultural influences in our bones, but to the unique neurobiological and psychosocial makeup that is you. Therapy with me is gentle yet rigorous. I work at your pace yet hold in mind always treatment goals brought to me and my responsibility to you as a helping other. With whole systems care at heart, I have a holistic approach to wellness. In session I draw upon traditional psychodynamic and eastern philosophies and practices as well as current somatic science and contemporary treatment modalities such as: Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Fusion Acupressure, Formative Psychology, Yoga Therapeutics, Hakomi, AEDP, EFT, and PACT. You can find a broader account of my approach, style, and modalities I utilize on my site www.somaticcentered.com.

Many people have found that they thrive in a relationship structure that stretches beyond monogamy. Having a relationship structure that falls outside the boundaries of what was is deemed as “normal” can bring a variety of unique challenges.

Whether you are in the beginning stages of exploration with a primary partner or you are in an established poly relationship, we can work together to confront the vulnerabilities, the dynamics of power and control, and the communication breakdowns that are a part of all relationships. Our therapeutic work can assist in addressing these concerns within the primary couple or your extended relationship structure.

Kirsten has over twenty years of experience, and works with adults, adolescents, couples and families. She is a sex-positive therapist who specializes in work with alternative sexuality issues with those who may identify as “non-mainstream,” or “outsider.”

My approach to therapy is warm, trauma-informed, and tailored to your goals and needs. As a queer and nonbinary person, I understand the importance of shared identity with a therapist. In work with my clients, I draw on both my lived experience and my specialized training in sexuality and sex therapy to foster a safe space for LGBTQIA+, kinky, and nonmonogamous folks to bring their full selves into therapy.

I utilize psychodynamic, somatic, and attachment-based approaches to help my clients learn to manage difficult emotions and uncover “a-ha” moments that translate to real change. When doing trauma work with clients, I also utilize IFS (Internal Family Systems) and a somatic trauma treatment called Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to help clients integrate and heal the memories of trauma held in our bodies that weigh on us in the present. In our sessions we’ll work together to help you develop tools to move through difficult moments outside of the therapy office and achieve your goals.

It’s the middle of the night and you can’t sleep. You keep trying to understand why you are so stuck in your life and your relationships. You don’t understand why you can’t just be yourself and accepted for who you are. You’ve done so much to try to feel connected but it isn’t working.

It’s so different than what you experience when you are in community, surrounded by people who are vibrant and expansive. Like that time you were at Burning man and you felt so alive only to come home to a life that feels dead, numb and disconnected. You are tired of crying all the time. You know your past impacts how you relate to your sexuality and why you feel so disconnected from your body.

I support spiritually adventurous and sexually creative people, who are struggling to integrate change into their lives. My clients experience individualized support that helps them to reconnect with their body and their vitality.

For over 25 years I have worked with people who struggle in their relationships with their body, their partners, and their power. My clients typically come to see me weekly so they can benefit from consistent support and deepening awareness. I will often integrate body movement, sensation tracking, and grounding tools.

The human mind is an amazing thing! Not so long ago, scientists and other medical experts believed that once damaged, the brain could not heal. We now know that is not true. We also have a better understanding of how the brain stores information, including past trauma, and how it is able to heal itself. The mind and body are intrinsically connected. Traumatic injury to the body and psyche are stored in the mind, and if the trauma is unprocessed, the mind replays the trauma over and over again, expecting or hoping for a new result.

I am experienced in helping clients to process sexual issues, trauma, PTSD, and personality disorders. I am certified in EMDR, which engages the brain’s hippocampus where trauma is processed. It sometimes results in shorter therapy. Overall, I utilize an eclectic approach to help you become a stronger, healthier you. - Does online consultation

As a therapist, I believe that you, the client, are the best narrator of your own story. My goal is to collaborate with you when life is feeling overwhelming, when your anxiety, depression, or past traumas are impacting your current life, when you’re feeling burn-out, when you’re going through a significant life transition, or when you want to make a big change. Together we can troubleshoot relationship challenges and create a personalized relationship structure whether it is monogamous, non-monogamous, or anything in-between.
