Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered (USA)

Romantic relationships arrangements with 2+ people, teens, young adults

I provide a relaxed, open, collaborative and non-judgmental atmosphere. When working with patients, I will cater my approach to your needs, but my natural style is goal-oriented, so I tend to delve into the issues at hand so that you can see improvement in your emotional well-being as quickly as possible. Society tends to define a romantic relationship as a one on one arrangement, but the truth is, that is not always the case.

Whether your relationship involves two or more people, or whether you have (or are considering) an open relationship, working with a polyamory-aware counselor can help you to define your boundaries as a couple, create agreements for a healthy relationship, cope with jealousy, and explore sexual and romantic relationships that fall outside of traditional concepts of monogamous arrangements. If you are beginning to explore your identity or orientation as polyamorous as an individual, it is advisable to work with a counselor who affirms and recognizes this as such.

I understand that a loving relationship can take many forms, and my aim when working with clients is at affirming healthy, ethical, consensual non-monogamous relationships.

I am a relationship therapist in Fort Collins who works with couples and individuals who are struggling with intimacy issues. Some couples discover that polyamory and similar open arrangements can be both rewarding and challenging as they work to establish rules of fidelity in their partnership. In our work together, we will explore current concerns, and we may look at the erotic blueprints of childhood that can impact your intimate relationships. I will also provide practical, solution focused tools to help you get your intimate life back on track. I am friendly and affirming of all forms of sexual expression and look forward to helping you create an open, loving partnership.

I provide individual, relationship, family and group therapy.

Founded in 1975 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Seattle Institute for Sex Therapy, Education and Research operates on the principle that sexual energy is a positive expression of human life. We serve women and men of all sexual identities, orientations, and lifestyles, assisting people to explore and discover their own sexuality and to find ways to meet their needs. In general, we are supportive of all expressions of sexuality which are not self-destructive or exploitative of others. Fees are negotiable, based on ability to pay. Licensed clinicians certified in sex therapy and/or sex education deal with diverse concerns, e.g., loss of desire; obsessive sexual behavior (sometimes called sexual addiction); erection/ejaculation difficulties; orgasm; vaginismus (vaginal contractions preventing penetration); pain; trauma; paraphilias; sexual/gender identity; conflicts in relationships over sexual values, attitudes, or behaviors.

I understand trauma, the difficulties faced by us all when we try to learn past our intergenerational patterns. I am here for parents and caregivers who want to do their best for their families. I also welcome clients who want to be better caregivers to themselves. This includes anyone dealing with depression, anxiety, addictive behavior, unprocessed childhood experiences, or failure to create healthy connections with others.

For individuals, couples, and families I provide a partnership that improves compassion, respect, and the ability to truly be heard and understood. Exploring the past, owning unhelpful ideas, making connections between values and actions help us grow confidence, strength, and self-acceptance and the ability to shape the future we want with confidence. I can help you thrive.

Surrogate partner therapy is a somatic form of therapy designed to increase a client’s capacity for emotional and physical intimacy. It was developed by Masters and Johnson in the 1970s and uses evidence-based research to overcome challenges related to intimacy, touch, and sexuality. The client forms a therapeutic relationship with the surrogate partner to develop the skills to form a relationship with a partner out in the real world. The therapy proceeds at a pace friendly to each client’s needs. This experiential learning is divided into phases designed to build self-awareness and resolve deeply-ingrained issues surrounding relationships, intimacy, and sexuality. Emily works with a supervising licensed therapist and accepts clients of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship modalities.
