Specializing in relationship counseling with multifaceted relationship dynamics

We facilitate relationship choice in a Voice Dialogue context, where you explore and embrace the needs of all your inner voices, analyze and resolve toxicities in the bonding patterns among you and your lovers.

We also teach tantric practices for polyamorous groups.

We support and facilitate all relationship choices and help you access your many inner voices' needs, neutral witness and CENTER that embraces all your subselves. We assist you and your lovers and potential lovers in analyzing your bonding patterns with each other so you can make discerning decisions after sharing your vulnerabilities and seeing how you and each of your partners exhibit each others' lesser-developed inner voices. We do phone counseling and run the Harbin Hot Springs California Polyamory conferences.

I have a great respect for those who seek to improve their quality of life. My life’s work is dedicated to help facilitate that process and help collaborate to create clarity. I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist providing psychotherapy to individuals and couples. I work and have experience with a wide variety of situations and life issues; including but not limited to depression, anxiety, transitions, burnout, relationship dynamics, and more. Specialties of mine include premarital counseling, young adult/college age concerns & transitions, EMDR, grief, consensual non monogamy, and non traditional relationships.

I believe in the work I do and the healing power of therapy. I also understand how important it is to be truly understood by your therapist and the problem we face with the lack of representation in the field for poly friendly professionals. I fully support couples whether they are monogamous or non monogamous. If there is something my client is experience that I am not experienced in, I do my best to further my education and make sure that my practice is a safe space and all are welcomed.

I am a psychotherapist in the South Bay with a specialty focus on alternative lifestyles–including polyamory, swinging, and kink/BDSM involvement. I have helped many individuals and couples navigate these lifestyle choices, and I realize how important it is to talk to someone who is open to non-monogamous lifestyles and who is open-minded in general. I know how important it is not to feel judged for the lifestyle you are leading even if it goes against prevailing social norms. By contrast, I aim to listen closely to what YOU are bringing in: what is strong in your life and where you may be struggling or having emotional pain.

It is difficult to start a course of therapy. But if you are in emotional pain, it can feel like moods and issues are running your life rather than you doing so. This can leave you feeling lost, confused, and distressed. When you are under this dark cloud, it can be very helpful to talk to an objective outsider in a safe, confidential, and professional yet intimate setting. My goal is to work together to recognize hindrances and unhelpful patterns and to accentuate personal strengths in order to regain a sense of agency and equanimity in your life.

I have more than 15 years experience in the mental health field. I have been trained in Positive Psychology, Group therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness coping skills. These methods can help alleviate symptoms of depression or anxiety and address debilitating aspects of trauma. For more information, see www.ednawallace.com.

Per my website, I charge $220 for a couples session (1 hour) and $180 for an individual session (50 minutes). I am not on any insurance panels, but you can submit my super bill to your insurance if they offer out-of-network provider benefits. In addition, I have some sliding scale spots.

I look forward to working with you!
