Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I’m Dr. Liz from sexpositivepsych.com, and I believe great sex can change the world. I’m a sex educator, speaker, and regular guest on several podcasts as part of my mission to help you have more meaningful, pleasurable relationships in life and work, as well as the bedroom.

As a licensed psychologist who specializes in non-traditional relationships, I can tell you that the more honest and real you are about what turns you on, the easier it is to find a partner that understands you and wants to be with you - the real you.

I coach couples and singles, whether gay or straight, polyamorous or monogamous, or even if you’re still trying to figure it all out. I help you be who you are. Because being confident in who you are is the gateway to great relationships and great sex - and great sex can change the world.

I currently offer both in-office and video chat or telephone sessions. I can see clients who live anywhere in California for therapy or anywhere in the world for coaching. I do my work in English but would be willing to discuss translation services. I offer all potential clients a free phone call to see if we’re the right fit; you can book this call at bit.ly/drlizpow.

Thanks for being here, I’m Liz! I’m a Senior Clinician and the Team Lead at Grounded Wellbeing. I’m a queer therapist and specialize in providing holistic and affirming care to queer, trans, and gender-expansive folks, as well as folks navigating religious trauma and faith deconstruction. I work with individuals (~16+ y.o.) and partners, including ethical non-monogamous partners and/or multiple partners, navigating complex trauma, life transitions, intimacy, and more. I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker under the supervision of Mick Rehrig, LCSW. I operate from a core belief: you are the expert of your own experience. I deeply value and appreciate your innate wisdom and enjoy utilizing a collaborative approach to therapy. I pull from holistic approaches to therapy, including attachment-based, emotion-focused, strengths-based, and trauma-focused, while employing a social justice, feminist, intersectional, and systemic framework. (TL;DR: I see you as a whole person with lived experience that informs who you are and how you operate through the world, including the systems (political, geographic, etc.) that you live within).

I am an insight-oriented, person-centered, and sex-positive therapist who leads with curiosity. I see clients of all identities, and I specialize in the care and unique needs of queer, kinky, and nonmonogamous people, as well as those with a background in sex work. I am skilled in helping clients navigate issues related to gender identity, sexuality, and alternative relationship structures, life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, and attachment ruptures. My work in general psychotherapy and sex therapy is trauma-informed and driven by principles of consent. I will meet you where you are on your journey in a non-judgmental and compassionate way. My practice is guided by values of anti-oppression, and I actively consider the impact of positionality and power dynamics throughout my life.

I am a graduate of the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, with a specialized field of practice certificate in Gender and Sexuality. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 12 years working in theatre; as such, I integrate my experience working in artist care into my practice as a holistic-thinking clinician.

I see adult clients on an individual basis, and in relationship structures of two or more. Our work together focuses on utilizing our mutual insight to discover and give voice to patterns and connections. I firmly believe that you are the expert of your own experiences, and that my role as a therapist is to use my clinical presence to help us both understand you better. I offer remote sessions as well as in-person sessions in lower Manhattan. I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello, I am a recent resident of Austin by way of the DFW metroplex. I love therapy because every person needs a safe place to unpack the experiences of life. I provide a judgment free zone to explore who you have been and who you will become. I am passionate about everything LGBTQIA+, religious trauma, and empowering women to their full potential. As a late in life lesbian, I am passionate about helping other women who have experienced compulsory heterosexuality and who are either still not out to friends and family or who are newly out of the closet and processing what those changes mean in their lives.

I have an MA in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. I am a board certified Licensed Professional Counselor Association and an LCDC. I am currently part of the Sexual Health Alliance program to pursue my sex therapy certification.

I look forward to creating a safe therapeutic relationship with you so that you have a place to process your past, your present life experiences, and the direction you want to go to build your future.

Figuring out how to honor yourself and your values while building an abundant life is emotionally, spiritually, and mentally challenging–especially for those of us finding our own, unique paths. I am a poly-allied, kink-allied, LGBTQIA+-allied and oppression-aware therapist using an in-depth approach to explore the underlying meaning of your concerns and experiences. I especially love working with young adults and anyone who may be experiencing life transitions.

Bio:

I am a Black, queer, disabled, neurodivergent, non-binary therapist working with adult individuals and couples. I approach therapy as a team effort grounded in trauma-informed, anti-racist, fat liberatory, sex & kink positive, and feminist ideals. My therapy practice, while primarily based in Relational-Cultural Therapy, is eclectic, borrowing from multiple modalities in order to find the best approach for each individual client, couple, or polycule. Common approaches I incorporate include: EFT (emotion focused therapy), IFS (internal family systems), and Attachment Theory. When appropriate, I frequently like to incorporate exercises and homework to practice concrete skills and tools that are consistent with the stated goals. I prioritize working with communities with whom I share personal experience, including: LGBTQIA+, polyamorous/ENM, BDSM/kink, sex worker, SA/DV survivors, neurodivergent, chronically ill & disabled. I am not panelled in-network with any insurance plans, but can provide superbills for those with out of network benefits. My full fee is $300 and I offer sliding scale options based on need.

Longer Script:

When you make the decision to attend therapy, you are making the decision to prioritize your wellbeing in a fundamentally unique way. Therapy is something that can be challenging, but also transformative– Especially for those who have not been listened to, believed, or had the freedom to pause and practice introspection due to the demands of life.

Knowing the challenges of finding a therapist who can understand your life experiences, I prioritize working with communities with whom I share personal experience. This includes, but is not limited to: LGBTQIA+, polyamorous/ENM, BDSM/kink, sex worker, SA/DV survivors, neurodivergent, chronically ill & disabled communities.

My work is grounded in Relational-Cultural Therapy, which emphasizes the importance of the relationship between therapist and client as an essential part of the therapeutic process. I aim to minimize power dynamics in the room between therapist and client, and firmly believe you are the expert of your life. Rather than an authority in the room, I see my role as a collaborator in helping you achieve your therapy goals. For those who wish to know my social location: I am a Black, queer, disabled, neurodivergent, polyamorous, non-binary therapist in my 30s. I come from a middle-class background in a mixed race household, am a US citizen, and was raised Catholic but am not religious.

I approach therapy as a team effort grounded in trauma-informed, anti-racist, fat liberatory, sex & kink positive, and feminist ideals. My therapy practice is eclectic, borrowing from multiple modalities in order to find the best approach for each individual client, couple, or polycule. Common approaches I incorporate include: EFT (emotion focused therapy), IFS (internal family systems), Sex Therapy, and Attachment Theory.

I work with clients on a variety of topics, but special interests include: Unpacking attachment wounds using IFS; Transition stages in Poly/ENM; Freedom from shame regarding sex & kink; Impacts of disability; Relationships to health, disordered eating, and/or fatness from a fat liberatory and body neutrality lens.

30 years experienced poly-friendly and poly-knowledgeable psychotherapist and advanced Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) practitioner. I work extensively with people of all sexual orientations, preferences, gender identifications and family styles (lesbian, gay, bi, trans, poly, kink, bdsm). I have a strong background in chemical dependency, mood disorders, stress, communication problems, abuse and trauma resolution, body-image work, and creativity. Video conferencing and phone sessions available.

I specialize in helping women through midlife transitions, relationship changes, nontraditional relationship styles, anxiety issues, sex and body positivity, and church trauma.

I work with adults ages 18+ seeking to explore their identity, where they’ve come from and where they want to go. I love working with members of the kink and bdsm community, folks looking to understand their sexuality and how better to communicate the wants and needs. I do relationship work with people in polyamorous relationships, triads and other formations with special attention to polyamorous folks creating non traditional family structures.

Hello and welcome! I was born and raised in the South, where the prevailing belief in the ‘Bible Belt’ was that discussions about sex should be reserved exclusively for one’s spouse. This mindset never resonated with me and upon coming to Denver, Colorado I realized just how antiquated and harmful this perspective can be. During my undergraduate studies at the University of Denver, I found a space that finally felt comfortable, safe, and empowering within the Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Department, where I delved into the social construction of gender and sexuality.

As a current MSW candidate I strive to continue learning and encourage others to learn as well.I aim to support and sometimes challenge my clients in creating brave spaces—environments that foster dialogue, curiosity, growth, and prioritize agency. Empowered Exploration is the core of my philosophy, and by centering this in sessions, I hope to help cultivate stronger support systems and self-love.

My approach to therapy is primarily based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. As an ACT therapist, instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings, I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender and sexuality.

​I primarily provide online individual therapy with late teens and adults (of all ages). In addition to depression and anxiety, I also specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients. I am a Certified World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Global Education Initiative Standards of Care 7 Member. Other areas of focus in my work include obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic, depression, trichotillomania, and college student mental health.

​All my services are provided through telehealth and I am licensed in Nevada, Oregon and I am authorized to practice in 30+ “PSYPACT” states.

My practice is primarily based in using somatic (body aware) and relational therapy with individuals, couples and groups. I teach people how to literally re-wire their brains to actively reduce habitual stress-based patterns and increase the joy and vitality they generate for themselves on a daily basis. Breakthroughs in the study of the brain and its amazing plasticity have given the world powerful new tools for transformation. I use these tools to promote clarity, hope and resiliency for a more peaceful and loving world.

I support and celebrate poly, kink and other alternative lifestyle choices as viable options for healthy relationships. Being a somewhat unconventional person myself, I enjoy a mobile therapy practice so am not limited to one geographic location or the standard 50 minute therapy hour. I love the transformative power of doing therapeutic process with people, and am happy to work on-site with individuals or multi-partner groups within time frames that best serve the process. I prefer working with folks who have a clear intention of "being the change they want to see in the world". I work on a sliding fee scale to accommodate anyone who demonstrates true commitment to the idea that each of us is responsible for our own peace on this planet. - Does online consultation
