VIRTUAL ONLY, TORONTO, ON, CANADA
I specialize in work with adult individuals, couples, and other relationships with a focus in alternative lifestyles such as BDSM, Leather and Ethical Non-Monogamy/Polyamory, as well as trauma, anxiety and depression. My clients are amazing but may feel like something is missing, off or broken in them, with the ultimate goal to have a happy, healthy, fulfilling and nurturing life and secure relationships.
Using a trauma informed lens and eclectic approach, I work a lot with shame and self-compassion, creating a safe environment for people to explore themselves and their world. We are dynamic beings with evolving experiences, so we should be treated as such. My approach includes support, space, solutions and celebrating all that is YOU!

As a neurodivergent person, moving through a world built for neurotypical people can be an overwhelming and disempowering experience. When social pressure or trauma leads you to mask who you really are, it can lead to depression, anxiety, stress, and/or a sense of not inhabiting or controlling your own body. Sometimes, the more you try to fit in, the more alienated you become from yourself and those around you.
As a highly sensitive, autistic, queer, and poly woman, I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent people with oppressed genders, sexual identities, and relationship styles by providing a safe haven to unmask and live more authentically. We collaborate to develop tools to compassionately and courageously navigate the world. I am deeply committed to building a non-judgemental, curious, and compassionate space.
I invite you to visit my website to schedule a free 20-minute consultation so we can talk more about your needs, curiosities, fears, and desires for therapy. I would be honored to be part of your journey.
I offer individual, group, and relationship/couples counseling, as well as therapeutic support for parents and caregivers with neurodivergent children of any age. Please see my website for further descriptions of each of these services.
I am poly- and kink-positive and sex-worker allied. I am anti-racist, anti-ableist, LGBTQIA+-affirming, and culturally sensitive.
I specialize in working with couples and 2+ partnerships, in which one or more of the partners identifies as queer, trans, bi, and/or pansexual. I support the members of these partnerships in building fulfillment and security in their relationships, while also enjoying full expression of their identities. I help each person regulate and understand their own system, in order to have more freedom in the ways they show up with each other. I also work with queer and poly identified individuals who want to develop pride, comfort and agency, and work on their relationships to themselves and others.
I work relationally, creatively and somatically, using tools from Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems Therapy. Our work together will offer tools to help you regulate your nervous system by tuning into your sensations. You will learn ways to support conflicting parts of yourself from a grounded place, so they can work together fluidly.
Working collaboratively with my clients, I provide highly attuned, queer, trans, poly, health at any size, neurodivergent, BIPOC-affirming therapeutic space. I believe a strong relationship between therapist and client is essential to growth and healing. I will work to meet you, and respond directly to your desires for your therapeutic experience.
I see clients over telehealth in CA, with opportunities to meet in person in the Bay Area several times a year. In WA, I can offer telehealth or Eco Therapy in Seward Park in Seattle. Home visits are also available in certain situations, when appropriate or necessary for treatment.

Officially, MA in “Couple and Family Therapy” (But I’d rather call it Relationship Therapy) from Adler University - Chicago Campus
I’m about to submit my application to get my “Associate in Marriage and Family Therapy (AMFT)” Associate License for Illinois, but that will take some time to process. I’m currently practicing under my supervisor, Erin Matthews’ LCSW license. License: Illinois / 149013216
Co-creating a brave space where my clients can work on the relationships with the special people in their life, be it their partner(s), children, other family members, friends, and others, is what I am deeply passionate about. I enjoy working with couples, polycules, families, and people with other types of relationships. Relational therapy offers a unique opportunity for people to grow, heal from painful experiences, and build healthier relationships, whatever that looks like for each client. I will support you and your relationships along our therapeutic journey together by centering your unique strengths, needs, and goals.
I utilize Family and Relational Systemic Theory, Intersectional Feminist-Informed Theory, and Culturally Affirming Therapy with my clients. This includes, but is not limited to: culturally affirming therapy for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), the Latine community, the LGBTQ2SIA+ community, and those at the intersection of these communities. When working with clients, I will consider all their dimensions of culture and their intersectionality.
I provide individual, relational (for couples, polycules, constellations, and more), and family therapy (families of origin and chosen families), always utilizing a systemic lens. When working with couples, polycules, and constellations: I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment Theory, and Narrative Therapy. I strive to provide the most affirming space for my clients. In addition to therapy in English, I can also provide therapy in Spanish.
It is truly an honor and privilege to witness and support clients and their relationships throughout their therapeutic journey. I look forward to working with each client along their unique life path.

VANCOUVER, BC CANADA
I work with polycules, couples, and individuals who want to communicate better and feel heard. My guiding lights are communication, connection, and sex positivity. Relationships with ourselves and others are the lifeblood of humanity. And happiness. With trust and empathy, I help people communicate their needs in new and effective ways, paving the way to a more solid and trusting relationship.
My approach to therapy is integrative, meaning I use multiple schools of thought based on what makes the best for the client. Sometimes we’ll talk about what you want the story of your life to be. We might also talk about getting more in touch with your emotions to chart your path forward. You are the expert on your life and I can help you get where you want to go.
I have a sex-positive approach to therapy and relationship issues. Sex can be an important part of life despite what we’ve sometimes been told (don’t get me started….). I’m also kink-knowledgeable and LGBTQ-allied.
I hold a Master’s in Communication from the University of Oklahoma and a Master’s in Couple and Family Therapy from the University of Colorado. I am currently a PhD student in the Counseling Studies program at the University of Edinburgh. My work is an extension of my Master’s thesis, A Narrative Inquiry of a Polycule. This is a qualitative study into the lived experience of being polyamorous. Geeky research or super fun? Why not both?!

I’m Linh (she/they), and I work with young adults and adolescents (15+) who are LGBTQIIA+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, and/or immigrants. As part of these communities, you might feel anxious and on edge a lot of times. You might be unsure about where you belong or what you need. You might have spent years masking and catering to others that you struggle to understand yourself. You might carry familial expectations on your back and feel caught among cultures. You might feel anxious and out of control when emotions arise. I see you trying your best and am here to support you.
I will make room for you to reimagine a life with hope, care, and joy. My practice is anti-oppressive, neurodiversity-affirming, and LGBTQIA+ celebrating. I regularly incorporate parts work, somatic practices, and guided imagery to gain understanding of your experiences and find answers to your concerns. I draw from various psychotherapeutic modalities and social justice ideology in my work, and my identities as a bilingual Vietnamese immigrant and a queer neurodivergent woman inform how I make sense of the world as well as how I approach therapy.
I OFFER VIRTUAL THERAPY SESSIONS FOR CLIENTS RESIDING IN WASHINGTON STATE (USA)
My style of therapy is one that incorporates asking a lot of questions to help guide clients towards a better understanding of his/her self. Together we explore the impact one's past experiences had/have upon your current sense of self. To create a healthier life for oneself, I believe it is important to be aware of one's thoughts, feelings and behaviors. This awareness is the first step towards creating a different future.
I use a multi-systems approach when working with people. In therapy I will explore with an individual or couple the impact of one's personal history as it relates to current concerns. One therapy goal is to help client(s) learn how to make informed choices about their lives.
My speciality is working with individuals and couples who have concerns or questions about sexuality issues. I also work with people who want to learn how to enhance their sexual relationships. First trained as a sexuality educator, I have been working as a sexologist for twenty years.

Improving your mental health can positively impact every aspect of your life, but it takes significant personal effort. We would begin this work by defining your therapeutic goals, and understanding how they interact with your social context, your skills, your assets, and your challenges. We would talk about coping strategies, self-care, and boundaries. As we worked, you would risk adopting new thoughts, perspectives, and behaviors, and analyze the results of those experiments. You would take the initiative to customize techniques I present to fit your unique situation, and change your approach if it isn’t in service of your goals. You would commit to working on yourself outside of our sessions, where it really matters. And, after all your hard work, you would be ready to celebrate your successes.
I offer telehealth sessions Tuesday through Friday, and in-person sessions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays only. I offer a free 15-minute consultation call to answer any questions, and to see if you think I can offer you the support you need.

Making the decision to begin therapy can be a difficult one. Whether it is to enter into therapy for the first time or to resume the process after a hiatus, I commend you for seeking assistance, counsel, and a compassionate ear. The last thing you want to feel in a therapeutic environment is judged for your life style choices.
I am committed to an open-minded non judgmental stance. I have over 20 years of experience in this field and have an expertise in clients who are poly/kink/swingers.
The art of therapy is knowing when to listen quietly and compassionately, when to offer up practical advice and tools, and/or when to bring up an unconscious dynamic that is unduly influencing the course of your direction. After 20 years of studying and practicing this art, I can offer you this subtle yet profoundly important expertise.
