Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered (USA)

I am a licensed therapist who specializes in working with clients struggling with issues surrounding self-esteem, relationship difficulties, depression, and anxiety. I am an advocate for women and LGBTIQQ communities. I always welcome clients who consider themselves sexual outsiders, people who are subverting the confining notions in the categories of sex and gender. I believe that paying attention to each clients unique lived experience is central to therapeutic growth and connection. I offer counseling and therapy to women, men, and gender-queer people who want to feel relief and wish to explore the possibilities for their healing. I work with couples and polyamorous partners counseling, as well as family therapy. I have specialized training in trauma and recovery.

I have experience in working with polyamorous relationships and individuals, and have helped numerous people navigate the their own relationship with polyamory. I am culturally sensitive to all of my client’s backgrounds and unique contexts, and believe that their relationship configuration and lifestyle is only one part of what makes them who they are. I strive to get to know the variety of aspects that inform my client’s contexts and backgrounds.

Andrea Tanaka provides compassionate individual and relational therapy in Eugene, OR. Andrea operates primarily from an emotion-focused, narrative approach to therapy to enhance your relationship with yourself and/or your partner(s). Andrea serves a variety of underserved populations, including LGBTQIA+, kinky/BDSM, polyamorous and consensually non monogamous, and a variety of relationship configurations.

I am a therapist in private practice specializing in trauma, co-dependency, sexuality, and relationship issues. I am EMDR and TF-CBT trained and certified, Gottman 1 trained, and practice EFT. I work heavily with the LGBTQ+ population, am an ally, and am a sex positive practitioner. I come from a clinical background rich with diverse individuals, couples, and family dynamics. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families. I am an out of network provider, but provide super bills for insurance reimbursement and offer sliding scale spots. I am 100% virtual for clients in CA, and will have in person services for clients in Austin, Texas beginning in august.

I provide online and in-person counseling and therapy for people living in Oregon. I work with teens and adults in individual therapy. I use he/him/his pronouns. I welcome clients of all gender identities and sexual orientations, and those who are in a process of exploration. I welcome clients of all racial, ethnic, national, religious, and caste backgrounds. I make an effort to be polyamory-friendly and kink-friendly in my practice. I offer therapy in English.

In my practice I work with gay men, lesbians, transgender folk, queer individuals, as well as those who fit into other sexual minorities. I am queer-affirmative and understanding of varying sexual desires and behaviors. I see clients who struggle with creating a healthy sexual identity, managing feelings of isolation and marginalization, or integrating sexuality into a fulfilling life. In addition, I understand the relationship of queer identity and mental health, substance use, compulsive sexual behaviors, and HIV/AIDS.

Another specialty is work with young adults, life transitions, and emerging adulthood. As both contemporary and professional I can offer insight into the difficulties and experiences of growing up queer in the age of Y2K, the Internet, and radically shifting gay politics, as well as navigating adulthood during unstable economies.

I understand the importance of race, ethnicity, and class–social justice and work with disenfranchised populations are key parts of my practice and philosophy. I value open communication and the power of relationships, as well as the inherent worth of all people and the right to a rich, purposeful life.

I provide individual therapy and Gottman Method relationship therapy (in-office, teletherapy, and home visiting). I’m a trans-identified provider and welcome LGBTQ clients.

I am not in-network with insurance companies at present. I will provide clients with documentation to submit to their insurance companies for out-of-network reimbursement.

I work with people in alternative lifestyles and relationship structures, and I welcome individuals from LGBTQ+, BDSM, and ethical non-monogamy communities.

I love working with relationships and families of all types. Our relationships are the foundation of our lives and when there is a problem it often impacts everything. Problems often become more noticeable during times of change (such as beginning or ending a relationship, having children, death of a loved one, moving, or a job change) and can build up over time until they break the relationship. People often report having problems with communication, conflict management, intimacy, boundaries, parenting, and finances. People often want to feel heard, understood, respected, connected, safe, and loved. They want to feel like their values and needs are honored in the relationship and they want to be a team. I specialize in working with people to develop strong relationships through positive communication and clear boundaries. I am an English-speaking clinician that works from a change-oriented framework which focuses on moving forward and building on past and current strengths and resources. I accept private pay and will provide a monthly detailed receipt for those who would like to apply for reimbursement from their insurance. I do offer a sliding fee program for clients who need financial support in order to access services. The sliding fee program is based on family size and monthly income to provide a percentage of discount off the normal service fee.

Texas and California licensed therapist- virtual only for California. Geographically located in Austin, Texas. Certified Sex Therapist and Emotionally Focused Therapist that works almost exclusively in adult attachment relationships. Poly friendly, LBGTQQ+ friendly and welcome. Polycules welcome. Free 20 min consultation interview.

I offer telehealth therapy and work with relationships on developing relational intelligence (creating and maintaining connection) for improved relationships and quality of life. We will address topics such, but not limited to, care/closeness, communication, romance, power/control, identity, stigmas, vulnerability, sensuality, respect/recognition, and others. Relationships teach us to live with multiple perspectives, and new ways of engaging with ourselves, others, and the world around us. We will create new patterns of self-awareness, but the form of how we do this is most important. Weekends and evenings are available.

“I open bedroom doors!”

I offer individual, couples or group counseling for a variety of mental health issues. My specialty is working with couples and sex therapy. This can include: financial problems, parenting/co-parenting, affairs, boundary setting, sexual problems, ED, PE, Painful intercourse, transitioning, life changes, premarital counseling, ethical non-monogamy (ENM), kink-friendly, etc.

I also understand that ENM clients are not always coming to therapy to discuss their romantic relationships. Sometimes, ENM clients would like to address problems unrelated to their sex life in an environment that is free from judgment for their lifestyle choices. I can offer this service as well. I work with adults 18+ of any race, ethnicity, religious, or cultural background. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly.

I charge $240 per 60 minute session and $360 per 90 min session. I also do all day couples intensives.

Finally, I have a good sense of humor. I run a YouTube channel and podcast called “The About Sex Podcast.” It can be found on google play or ITunes. In this podcast, we playfully discuss a variety of sexual health topics. My goal is to educate people about sex in a way that is fun, meaningful, and helpful. For clients unsure if they will work well with me, they can listen to my podcast to get to know me before setting a therapy session.

I specialize in sex positive, inclusive treatment of individuals and couples in the areas of sexuality, trauma and relationship work with the goal of helping you get to a better place, whatever that place may be. Therapy related to sexuality can include erectile or ejaculation concerns, sexual pain, sexual trauma, fetishes, broken agreements, concerns related to obsessive or addictive behavior, exploration of BDSM or open lifestyles. My clients include LGBTQIPA non-monogomous and kink identified individuals. Methodologies I use include EMDR, Somatic based interventions, sensory integration and regulation work, TF-CBT, meditation and grounding, attachment oriented approaches and couples interventions. I only speak English.

My approach to therapy is rooted in anti-oppression and liberatory principles, seeking to honor each person’s individuality and autonomy. Much of my experience is working with people of color and queer and trans/gender non-conforming people. I have extensive training in trauma practice, particularly around experiences of abuse, violence, and intergenerational trauma. I draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques, including psychodynamic therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and other relational and somatic approaches. I am a queer, mixed-race Asian American of Uchinanchu and Ashkenazi Jewish descent, and my therapy space is warm and collaborative, fostering individuals' ability to build resilience, joy, and power.

I work with individuals, couples, families, and kids, specializing in gender and sexual minorities and alternative lifestyles. Familiarity with cultural and subcultural communities is an important part of helping individual people, and my goal is to guide you, whether that’s through anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem issues, trauma, social/relationship difficulties, identity crises, or culture clashes.

Through individual, sex, and non-monogamy therapy services, I help young adults and millennials develop skills in recognizing their relational needs, and communicating those needs to others. This could be within the context of friends, family, and partners of all kinds. I enjoy helping clients through life’s curveballs, so that they can surround themselves with those that participate in cultivating genuine connection and joy in their lives. I particularly enjoy working with those exploring kink/BDSM, incorporating fantasies, expressions of intimacy, communication and boundaries, transitioning from monogamy to non-monogamy, and building designer relationships.
