Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered (USA)

I specialize in counseling gender and sexual minorities, people in alternative relationship models (partnered non-monogamy/polyamory) and traditional monogamous relationship issues such as infidelity, mistrust and ineffective communication. I also work with people who have been previously diagnosed or suspect they have a sex or porn addiction. I believe any problematic sexual behavior is a symptom of a deeper rooted problem that needs to be addressed rather than the cause of the concern. My passion is in supporting community members while also educating and training other professionals. I do individual and relationships sessions as well as groups and workshops.

I am LGBTQIAP2+/GNC/NB/SW/Kink/BDSM/CNM/Poly/RA affirming and competent and use a collaborative approach to build a genuine working relationship with clients. In my current work I draw from a variety of methodologies and techniques, including Narrative Therapy, Feminist Theory, Person Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Theory, mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support those who are looking to increase awareness about needs and desires or are seeking deeper meaning and satisfaction in their lives and relationships. I also help others address concerns around sexuality, functioning, gender, identity, orientation, desire, and orgasm.

I believe in the transformative power of human sexuality, intimacy and touch and work within a relational, trauma-informed, pleasure-oriented, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, sex positive and intersectional framework. I strive to cultivate a safe space to discuss and normalize the vastness of human sexuality and sexual expression. During our work together, we will safely explore fears, concerns, shame and desires, and identify areas you would like to focus on in order to gain further understanding of yourself and bring about desired change.

I am a kink-poly-LGBTQ affirmative licensed Marital and Family therapist with a speciality in the lifestyle and polyamorous relationships. I graduated from Loyola Marymount University in 2005 with a Masters in Marital and Family Therapy with a specialty in Art Therapy. My therapy style utilizes my understanding of alternative sexual communities in conjunction with an emphasis on insight, emotional healing, and empowerment to provide a therapy experience that allows for a higher level of safety and comfort. The therapy focus may or may not be about navigating the clients sexual journey, but even if the focus of therapy is about something entirely different (trauma, grief, or anxiety), the client will know that I will provide a non-judgmental space should such topics come up.

Privately, I have been connected to polyamorous, lifestyle and kink communities since 2003. I understand the hurdles, massive emotional growth, and amazing joy these worlds can provide.

Hi! I’m a bi/pansexual mental health counselor! I work with youth and adults, via group and individual counseling. I have a group specifically for people to explore sexual, affectional, and relational identity (Wednesdays; Adults 10 am, Youth 3:30 pm; more groups are on my website). I also offer free gender affirming letters.

As a counselor and as a person, I value social justice, curiosity, and empowerment. I advocate through political demonstration and involvement, I advocate for clients, and I teach clients to advocate for themselves. The counseling frameworks I employ are feminism (it is for all genders; the basis is to analyze power structures), existentialism (look for meaning) and narrative therapy (deconstruct society’s narratives).

I am also an intimate partner violence (IPV)/domestic violence (DV) survivor. I went to support groups at a DV advocacy agency, and I loved the experience so much, that a few years later, I returned to the agency to run the groups as a volunteer. This inspired me to become a therapist, as well as write a memoir about my experience, to teach people the warning signs (available at Barnes & Noble and on my website).

I work with people who are coming out of trauma, and who want to understand it, heal from it, and grow into their new empowered identities. I also work with people for anxiety, depression, PTSD, self-esteem, and self-exploration related to career guidance and sexuality and gender identity.

At this time, all counseling is virtual and in English.

I look forward to discussing the ways we can work best together!

I offer psychotherapy for adult individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and codependency (which can look like self abandonment and people pleasing). I help people begin to let go of self doubt, and to trust themselves again by using parts work and somatic therapies. Many people I work with grew up in challenging families, and are working through how that still impacts them as adults.

My first goal as a therapsit is to offer non-judgmental, non-pathologizing support. All clients deserve to be heard and respected, no matter what their relationship choices. I work best with people who have had an experience of being "outside the norm", and personally celebrate what makes all of us different.

I specialize in working with poly/kinky/asexual clients in my private practice. As a student of human sexuality and anthropology, I understand also the challenges faced by people who undertake monogamy. I also enjoy working with artists, as I am an artist myself, and utilize creative writing and art therapy techniques to help clients better understand and relate to their experience.

I believe that each person is the author of their own experience. No matter what your path has been in your life, your experience is unique to you, and I respect the individuality of your story and your emotions.

I am a sex-positive clinician who is aware and affirming of sexual diversity, including polyamory, consensual non-monogamy (CNM), kink, BDSM, altsex communities and other sexual identities.

My practice is a safe and inclusive space for all identities.

If you are struggling with feelings or experiences of shame, confusion, anxiety, depression, rejection, discrimination, or bullying due to your sexual or gender identity, therapy can offer a healing space to process these negative experiences and improve your sense of belonging, self-acceptance, and self-worth as well as your relationships with others. Therapy can also be a useful space to deepen our relationship with ourselves and learn what it means to love ourselves radically.

The desire to know one’s self intimately and for that self to be known and safe in the presence of others is a vital part of the human experience. Therapy is a space where you can practice deepening intimacy with yourself, so that you can share yourself more fully with others. I am a sex-positive therapist who strives to create a safe, non-judgmental environment that is welcoming to all bodies, orientations, relationship configurations, and lifestyles. Your body is not wrong or broken; all of who you are is welcome here.

I am especially passionate about working with couples to increase emotional and sexual satisfaction, men’s identity and sexuality issues, grief and loss, body image issues, and gender identity issues. I have significant experience working with queer and transgender clients.

My counseling style is compassionate, collaborative, curious, and playful! I bring highly specialized training and knowledge of sexuality with me into our sessions, and have a particular gift at asking thought-provoking questions that help clients generate new insight into their experiences. My approach is integrative, combining emotionally focused therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, mindfulness training, and self-compassion training.

I am a clinical social worker committed to openness and the power of self-expression. My clients and I work together to explore opportunities for healing and growth, through an embracing, compassionate lens that nurtures strengths and honors that which makes each of us unique.

Are your emotions getting the best of you on a daily basis? You feel out of control and are struggling to manage life’s stress? Personal relationships are struggling as a result and you don’t know where to turn? These feelings are normal for people who have trauma in their past. Depression, anxiety, anger, fear, and loneliness are often a result of a difficult past. Add in present day struggles and these emotions can easily take ahold of you. This may cause you to lose hope in the future. I want to help you rediscover that hope one day at a time. I use CBT as a baseline to help those struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, and other emotional issues. I am kink, poly, and queer friendly with both personal and professional experience in these arenas.
