Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

For the past nine years, I have been providing counseling and assessment services for a variety of clients. As a counselor, I am well-versed in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, and trauma. I work with individual adults. I am a LGBTQ+, kink, and polyam-friendly therapist. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). While I draw on CBT techniques, my therapeutic style is person-centered. My colleagues describe me as a “warm and fuzzy” therapist. My job as a therapist is to provide a safe space where we can explore and “organize” your thoughts and feelings so they become clearer and more manageable. I practice unconditional positive regard, which means that nothing you share with me is going to negatively impact the way I think or feel about you. I want therapy to be a place where you can be your authentic self.

***I am offering telemental health services and now accept a variety of insurance plans. In addition, group therapy is available as well. Here is the link for inputting insurance information to check benefits: https://hipaa.jotform.com/200667630633150

My goal is to combat the stigmas impacting marginalized communities through access to mental health resources. These stigmas create barriers to treatment, contribute to a lack of culturally competent resources, infringe upon a person’s bodily autonomy, and contribute to discriminatory incidents.

Specialties: substance use disorders, relationship dynamics and patterns, anxiety, depression, trauma, alternative relationship and lifestyles, and erotic trade industry.

Populations: I counsel all communities and specialize in non-monogamous relationships, individuals who have participated in the erotic trade industry, and the kink and queer communities.

The goal of my practice is to help you feel better and accept yourself; not just by addressing anxiety and depression and avoiding the things that feel bad but also by engaging with what brings you pleasure, joy and a sense of connection. This can be through an exploration of sexuality or through whatever you find in your life that makes you feel passionate and alive.

In my office, you will find that difference is not just accepted but celebrated.

I work with individuals and people in relationships to develop a loving, accepting and kind method of communication with each other. Together we can change behaviors, resolve issues, improve sexual functioning, manage anxiety, depression and other complex feelings and cope better with pain and suffering.

Working together is always a unique experience customized to your needs. I have experience using psychodynamic, mindfulness, Imago and cognitive behavioral approaches to therapy and I try to choose the methodology that suits best for the individuals in my office.

I have a special interest in supporting people through issues related to sexual exploration, sexual functioning, sexual identity and gender identity. Clients who are in non-monogamous relationships, swinger, polyamorous and/or kink relationships are welcome.

I am dedicated to families and individuals that live outside of the box and use my skills to bring clarity and harmony to alternative lifestyles. I am an experienced, affirming therapist and have been privileged to do work with families that are solution focused and values driven. I am particularly interested in working with interfaith and intercultural relationships. My main goal is to restore sustainable harmony to your life and work with both children and adults. Our other clinicians in the practice have specialty areas in the transgender community and those families affected by ASD. My website has more detailed information regarding fees, reviews, scheduling etc. I invite you to send an email or visit my website for more.

I am a Licensed Psychotherapist and Certified Sex Therapist. I work with individuals and couples on all aspects of relationships and issues including sexual disorders and therapy, depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, pain, panic, and addiction. I have been a psychotherapist and sex therapist for over 20 years and I am poly affirmative, kink affirmative and LGBT affirmative and treat most aspects of sexology. I am a member of AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists) and of AACAST (American Association of Couples and Sex Therapists). I have two offices and prefer to make appointments by telephone. - Does online consultation - Does phone consultation

I work with individuals, children, and families. I welcome children of any age and families of any type, including step-families, blended families, adoptive families, tribes, poly families, and families of choice.

Love relationships can be the source of our greatest pleasure and deepest pain. Intimacy is experienced when we feel safe with our partner(s) in being fully and naturally ourselves in ways we may not be with anyone else. We long to connect with someone that makes us feel desired and loved, and mutually share in friendship, love, trust, communication, respect, sex, and support.

Introducing or maintaining non-monogamy can expand both the joy and complications of our relationship(s). My practice specializes in polyamory and non-monogamy, addressing issues such as rebuilding trust and intimacy, negotiation of agreements, hierarchies and ‘veto’ power, ‘coming out’ to friends and family, personal insecurities/jealousy, and infidelity. I also specialize in LGBTQIA and alternative lifestyles including BDSM, kink, fetishes, and sex work.

I offer complimentary 20-minute phone consultations.

I am the author of The New Monogamy, as well as five other books on sex and relationships, including Getting the Sex You want, When You’re the One Who Cheats and the soon to be released Open Monogamy.

My private practice with relationships of all types is currently on Zoom, and I do Intensives at my office in Los Angeles, CA or Fairfield, CT.

I take all appointments by email at the email address listed above.

I don’t take insurance but can provide an invoice for direct reimbursement. I also have a sliding scale for those who cannot afford my full fee.

I treat relationship issues including sexual desire issues, sexual dysfunction, monogamy agreements, negotiation, infidelity, and betrayal. I help with communication around decisions to open, modify or close poly relationships and can work with a variety of groups in a shared therapeutic relationship.

I have over 30 years of experience in the field. Until Covid I traveled around the world speaking on this topic and training other therapists. Now that training continues online. I am committed to helping foster sustainable flexible and fluid relationships that work.

My main focus as a therapist is sex and relationships. The majority of my work is with GSRD (Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diverse) clients, who are LGBTQIA+, kinky, polyamorous, or sex workers. I work with individuals and couples/groups. Open ended work or a fixed number of sessions. I work in person and online.

I am a member of the Pink Therapy Advanced Discussions: Kink seminar group.

2020: I have recently finished a piece of research about the experience of queer menopausal clients in therapy. I will be speaking about my work at various events during the year.

My previous career was in creative arts and media. I have published several books and have been writing for the Lancet/Lancet Psychiatry for several years.

I am a psychotherapist in private practice in Boulder, CO, with a specialty in working with individuals around issues of gender and sexuality. I also have a specialty in providing empirically supported treatment for anxiety disorders (PTSD, OCD, phobias, social anxiety, etc.). With respect to gender and sexuality, the bulk of my work is with individuals exploring their gender identity and/or navigating gender transition. I provide psychotherapeutic support for this, as well as assessments for letters of eligibility for beginning puberty blockers, hormone therapy, or gender surgeries. A slightly smaller % of my clientele are generally those in the GLBIQQP area of the sexuality spectrum, as well as individuals who identify as poly or kinky. Some clients come to me for help with issues directly related to a polyamorous relationship, others see me for unrelated matters but want to see a therapist who is poly-affirming.

• Not on any insurance panels but accept cash, check, credit cards, and my billing service sends automatic statements once a month that makes submitting for out of network reimbursement (if applicable) slightly easier

• Risk free 90 minute initial consultation (no charge if you decide it is not a good fit, $275 if it is a good fit and we proceed to work together)

• $180/50 min session

• Initial sessions are always in person. Following that, I can at times offer phone/online sessions via a HIPAA compliant platform for remote sessions if needed.

I have specialized training in substance use, trauma, personality disorders, sex offenders, anger management, anxiety disorders, and men’s issues. I have experience working with a variety of Kink topics. Including, but, not limited to, ABDL, DDLG, BDSM, Age Play, Race Play, Consensual Nonconsensual, and Power Dynamics. I have experience with a variety of different relationship styles like poly, consensual nonmonogamy, swinging, and open relationships.

Professional specialties and skills: I love finding creative ways to approach the work, whether through spiritual practice, music, art, gaming, or television shows. Anything important for my clients to bring into the space is welcome in our work together. Likewise, I cater each therapeutic modality (narrative, somatic, relational, interpersonal, solutions-focused, etc.) to the individual, couple, or polycule I am working with. My client base includes folks of all racial backgrounds, gender expressions, identities, sexual orientations, and kink/BDSM/poly/ethical non-monogamy experiences.

Language(s) spoken: English

Populations served - ages, concerns, etc.: I work with all ages, but particularly love to work with Young Adults ages 18-25.

For years I have been a clinical service provider collaborating with individuals who have survived trauma. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, gaining my Masters of Social Work at Howard University. When starting I worked with refugees supporting them in transition to the DC metro area. Then worked in clinical settings specific for those who experienced interpersonal violence including not limited to sexual assault and/or dating violence. In many of these settings I noticed that there were fewer services catering to LGBTQ+ and PoC. I ensured that I was informed and skilled to support these communities. This was critical when collaborating with those who have survived and/or engaged in the sex industry.

Ages: 12-65, majority of clients 21-55 years old

Language: English, Spanish Interpreter available

Genders: All, majority: Female, Femme, and gender variant

Concerns: Historical and current trauma mostly interpersonal, anxiety and depression, Identity concerns (LGBTQ+, PoC and other Minority Stress)

I’m a trans-identified provider who works with all ages. Primarily my work is with transgender folx, but I also see non-monogamous and poly clients of all gender identities and sexual orientations. I’m trained in EMDR for trauma recovery work. I provide video therapy for those outside of the Towson/Baltimore area in the state of MD. I’m out of network with insurance and offer claim forms for reimbursement. I have limited low fee spots for trans folx of color and you can ask if there is an opening for this.

I focus on individual and couples therapy with adult clients. Sessions provide the tools for couples to form a deeper connection, replace unhelpful communication patterns, repair from conflict, and increase intimacy. I am LGTBQ+ affirming, sex positive, and welcoming of all relationship types including consesual non-monogamy and polyamory. I am trained in Gottman Marital Therapy and in PACT concepts and methods.

My intention is to create a powerful therapeutic relationship between myself and my clients. I know that struggling with sexuality issues can often lead to feelings of shame or embarrassment. I see our sexualities as one of the most diverse and unique parts of ourselves. I believe that difference does not equal disorder, and being “normal” is often not the goal.

I work primarily with adolescents and adults and lead groups with a focus around relationship dynamics and family systems. I am also pursuing my certification in sex therapy and sexuality education. I work from a systemic lens meaning I believe that our issues are much bigger than us as individuals, but also as people in relationships with others and the world around us.

I am poly/open and kink knowledgeable and have experience in working with non-traditional relationship dynamics, LGBTQIA2+ issues, individual metal health issues, and couples & families relationship issues. I hope to create a therapeutic space where it is welcomed to step into authenticity without fear of being shamed or judged.

I graduated from Smith College SSW, training in New Mexico and Boston.

I am a medical licensed clinical social worker who uses a brain-based approach to looking at how our past has impacted our bodies, our brains, guided our minds and influenced our relationships with ourselves and others. My approach looks at bridging the science of the brain and body with the mental health of the conscious and unconscious mind. My goal is to provide education and present tools and techniques that are used to change or re-train the brain to facilitate and support healing your body, mind and improving your quality of life. We will develop goals that use a variety of strategies specific to your needs and wants. I work with individual clients 18-100+. I am current only accepting private pay.
