Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered (USA)

I use trauma-informed therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. I serve a wide range of clients, and have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in working with neurodivergent clients and those who identify as LGBTQ+, and also offer ADHD/executive functioning coaching. I speak English and French.

I work with individuals, couples, triads, and other poly relationships. I am kink aware and also work with swinger/lifestyle as well. I help many people with communication issues, intimacy and sexual issues, infidelity, trust issues, and relationship dissatisfaction conflicts.

I utilize empathy, openness, and curiosity to assist my clients gain self-awareness, re-envision their purpose, and achieve new insights. I believe that humor is an important tool in the therapy room as laughter has been a huge part of the way I have coped with some of my most difficult moments. Humor and laughter can create lightness in the darkest of moments. Life is hard and finding a way to laugh through it will make it that much easier to navigate.

I am passionate about creating a sex-positive space in the therapy room and strive to normalize all topics around sex and sexual identity. We are born sexual beings, but most of us have had difficulty with exploration and development of understanding that part of ourselves. I will work with you to create a space to be curious about your sexual identities and strengthen that piece of you.

I have experience working with adults, couples, and non-monogamous people struggling with communication issues, sexual issues, queer and trans identity development, body neutrality, and self-esteem. I am a white, kink-informed, queer person who promotes the inherent worth of all people. I utilize a social justice lens when working with clients and strive to understand how larger systems intersect to impact folks on a personal level. I believe that change comes from gaining true insight into our past experiences and how they impact our present thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I will work with you to reflect on your past while incorporating healing in the present.

Though we are whole, complex, ever-evolving beings, modern health care tends to treat us like machines, breaking us up into pieces and ignoring the inherent connectivity within ourselves, between us and others, and in the broader environment. My personal journey with chronic pain and my background as an actor, musician, dancer, and yoga practitioner have given me a holistic approach to this work. I’ve experienced first-hand the healing that’s possible when we learn the language of our bodies and begin to respond with compassion, empathy, and joy. I have experience working with chronic pain and other symptoms, people living with disabilities, gender, sexuality, poly/non-monogamy, complex trauma, self-esteem, relationships, relationship conflict, depression, anxiety, substance use, disordered eating, parenting/caregiving, parents of LGBTQ or gender/sexuality questioning children, conflicts of faith/spirituality, adjusting to life and relationship changes. I have experience working with chronic pain and other symptoms, people living with disabilities, gender, sexuality, poly/non-monogamy, complex trauma, self-esteem, relationships, relationship conflict, depression, anxiety, substance use, disordered eating, parenting/caregiving, parents of LGBTQ or gender/sexuality questioning children, conflicts of faith/spirituality, adjusting to life and relationship changes.

I offer a welcoming, safe container for exploration of all sorts of relationship and personal problems. I enjoy helping resolve communication issues and bringing trust, vitality, and resilience back into relationships. You can come by yourself or with your partner(s); wherever the problem seems to live is where we’ll focus. I am trained in DBT as well as Internal Family Systems therapy and offer an active, dynamic approach based on your needs and goals. I am knowledgeable and welcoming of people across the spectra of gender and sexuality and in any relationship configuration. I am familiar and experienced with treating personal problems including anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, phobia, borderline personality disorder, and mild eating disorders.

Professional specialties and skills: Polyamorous and Open relationships, sexual identity, and sexual problems. Languages spoken: English, Creole (Caribbean). Populations served: Adolescents 17 +, Adults, women, older adults 65+.

I work with individuals and couples who are polyamorous or exploring polyamory; people in the kink community; LGBTQ clients and their families, especially trans youth, and other adults, adolescents, and children who do not fall into the above groups! Other specialities include trauma work (I am EMDR certified) and addiction. I do not currently work directly with insurance companies but do provide superbills for clients to submit for potential reimbursement. Languages: English. I offer telehealth services for residents of TN.

I specialize in culturally aware, neurodivergence-affirming, compassion-first counseling for adults (18 and up) working through explorations of their relationships: with others, with body image or self-esteem, and with their gender and sexual identities. Additionally, I offer compassionate palliative care for those navigating end-of-life issues; everyone deserves dignity and comfort as they and anyone they call family work through such difficult times.

Together, we’ll work towards healing, growth, and building stronger connections to your best allies: yourself and your community. Your well-being is my priority, and I’m here to help you rediscover your inner strength and build fulfilling relationships where you feel validated, heard, appreciated, and allowed to be just who you want to be.

I work from a family-systems-oriented framework that prioritizes experiential learning and building compassion and accountability towards oneself first. We will build on your understandings of your strengths; I use therapeutic play, music, art, and traditional talk therapy to explore a variety of topics and further your goals for your relationships. I accept private pay only, but I can offer a good faith estimate and a monthly superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance. I can also offer a limited sliding-scale program for clients who need financial support. My priority with sliding scale patients is to see couples or families first and is based off family size and monthly income to provide a percentage discount of the normal service fee.

In my therapy practice, I provide mental health services to individuals, couples, and families. I am passionate about working with preteens, teenagers, and young adults. The teenage years are some of the toughest and deserve a lot of support! Similarly, I work with young adults. I like to look at that developmental period as adult puberty. I am very passionate about working with LGBTGIA+ folks. LGBTQIA+ folks are much more at risk of mental health struggles due mostly to the oppression they face. I aim to provide affirming care and also provide gender confirmation surgery letters. I believe in using a holistic approach and looking at all the intersecting systems in an individual’s life. I also use various EBPs and modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, attachment theory, humor, and art therapy. One size does not fit all. It is my goal to find what modalities and tools work best for you!

Language: English. I solely offer telehealth at this time.

Populations served: Jared (he/they) is a licensed psychologist and a sex-positive, poly-friendly, and kink-aware Certified Sex Therapist through the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT).

Jared has psychotherapy experience working with adult individuals and people in relationships who struggle with identity concerns, psychosexual concerns, depression, anxiety, and OCD-spectrum disorders. He has previously worked in VA hospital, university counseling center, community, health psychology, and private practice settings. Because of Jared’s person-centered approach to each unique client’s treatment, they integrate elements of humanistic, feminist multicultural, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) interventions. Using this framework, he tailors treatment to the needs of each client he sees. With couples and relationship therapy, their preferred treatment is emotionally focused therapy (EFT), which focuses on the attachment bond between partners and how negative relationship cycles affect the health of relationships.

I regularly help people with trauma, anxiety, attachment and relationship issues. I primarily work with adults. My regular non-insurance rate is presently $100 for sessions that run up to an hour. It is possible that your insurance company will not pay for couples counseling or more informal couples coaching, so if you are interested in working with me, and want to know about the insurance coverage, you will need to call your insurance carrier directly to ask about that and let me know of any information need from me to explore that. We can have a no-cost preliminary chat about both your therapeutic needs and financial matters before proceeding to ensure there are no surprises. I recognize that going to a therapist is usually no easy or small thing, and am happy to reduce the stress involved in that.

Working with a therapist to cultivate a life that is uniquely yours and right for you can be empowering and transformative. My approach is transcendental and trauma-informed. My role is to create a space that feels safe and nonjudgmental, providing room for you to explore issues weighing on your heart and mind. Every client is unique; we will honor your individuality by working together to finding a treatment style that suits you. I serve individuals experiencing an array of concerns, such as, depression, anxiety, racial trauma, life transitions, gender and sexuality exploration, and PTSD. I am committed to serving populations within the LGBTQ, consensually non-monogamous, kink, and sex work communities. I provide individual psychotherapy and coaching services to adults, globally, via a HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. I am EMDR trained.

I offer individual, relationship, and family therapy. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, parents, and relationships. I work from an anti-racist, anti-colonial, sex-positive, health at every size, poly, queer, and trans-affirming perspective.

Are you in emotional pain? Are you depressed and lacking in self esteem? Upset with your relationships or partner/s? I am a gay and poly affirming psychotherapist and, you don't have to feel this way. Therapy can help you end the pain. Seeking counseling is not a sign of weakness, nor does it imply that you lack the ability to function as a balanced person. Actually, it is a sign of strength to recognize you may need to work on certain issues. Lets work together to make the changes you want a reality.

People seek therapy because they feel like they are not living the life they want. Do you have the life you desire? I offer caring and supportive psychotherapy. With a special heart for creative and poly individuals. You can transform and I am dedicated to your achievement of that success.

We will approach your challenges holistically and collaboratively. I offer over six years of clinical and teaching experience. The celebration of diversity is a guiding principal behind my work.

As your therapist, I hope to provide a space for ALL of you, your joy, pain, fear, courage, and compassion. I began my love of therapy first as a client working through my own lived traumas. I spent a lot of time with therapists who didn’t look or have experiences like me. I found relief, but I never felt the depth I needed to truly heal. This inspired me to become a therapist.

The world we live in now is overwhelming at times, with an overload of information, divisive news outlets, and all of that on top of the daily ins and outs of just living as a human. Identity is more complicated than it has felt before and it is getting harder for us to connect with one another. I am passionate about working alongside my clients and finding a way to reconnect with themselves and their community. I do work with individuals, however, the more people in the room, it is my belief the deeper the work we can do. Bring the whole family or your special someone whoever is important to you.

Through my own healing work and my Master of Science in Couples and Family Therapy at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, FL, I have realized that so many of our struggles originate with the expectations of society, our families, and the stories that we believe about ourselves. Identifying how this shows up for you is an important part of the process as well as deciding what stories you want to believe about yourself. We work together on making the choices you want for the change in you and your families lives.

I use Solution-Focused, Narrative, Bowen Family System and Trauma-Informed models in my healing work with a focus on Decolonial and Indigenous frameworks. I am Afro-Peruvian, European, Panamanian and I was born in the US. I am from the Inca and Moche peoples. I have lived experiences with the immigration, prison, foster care, correctional, mental health, and education systems.

I have experience working with LGBTQIA+ couples and families and have supported families through transitions. I also work with non-traditional couples and families including but not limited to same-sex, multicultural, polyamorous, and kink. I am passionate about seeing you for who you are, not for what the world might want you to be.

As a therapist, I am highly versed in working with many different polyamorous dynamics and relationship constellations. Particular specializations of mine include working with polyamory in the LGBTQIA populations, BDSM and kink identities, and developing strong, sex positive, healthy relationships. I specialize in working with Gender, Sexuality, and Sex Therapy with individuals, relationships, and families. Entwine Therapy is founded on the idea that all aspects of our lives are connected. When we are stunted or limited in one space of life, we cannot truly express ourselves in the other places, hindering us from being the most authentic version of ourselves. Equally, finding full expression and growth in challenging areas of life creates a network of personal development in other avenues. At Entwine Therapy, I focus on facilitating growth for individuals and relationships so they can gain a greater sense of equilibrium and excellence in their lives. I am dedicated to helping you build strong relationships with yourself and others, and healing fractures in healthy development that hinder achieving your own excellence. I believe that every individual’s story is unique and valuable. You are choosing to take brave step in the direction of your own growth!

For Jaxx, being a therapist is about connecting with people in ways that are vulnerable, honest, and genuine. Jaxx’s approach is body-focused, experiential, and research-informed. They utilize an intersectional approach to their work, which considers that our identities affect the way we show up in our personal lives and in relationships. By continually considering topics of gender, sexuality, race, class, faith, disability, and other intersectional identities, Jaxx’s clients are able to bring their whole selves into therapy without fear of judgment or restriction.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a private practice, Awen Therapy, in Middleton, WI.

I am well equipped to work with a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, decision making, and general life satisfaction.

My primary therapeutic approach is experiential, meaning I help you get in touch with your emotions, learn how to regulate them and how to integrate them with logical decision making to support you making the best decisions for yourself.
