Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered (USA)

I work with individuals and couples who are seeking to improve their lives and their relationships. The work I do is based on compassion, kindness and caring. I have taught Human Sexuality courses to graduate students in master level counseling psychology programs for over fifteen years. I currently teach at The Wright Institute, John F. Kennedy University and California Institute for Integral Studies.

Sue Ujvary, MA, is a Gender and Sexuality Specialist. Sue sees individuals who are afraid to go anywhere else. She is non-judgemental and understands and accepts different sexuality practices, and helps people overcome their fear of discussing their most closely guarded secrets. She specializes in Transgender issues, cross dressing, kinks and fetishes, BDSM, rape and sexual abuse history, sex industry professionals, multi-adult families, open relationships, alternative sexual practices, non-christian belief systems, and people who fear seeing other therapists due to non-traditional lifestyles.

I believe that everyone deserves to show up to life (and therapy) in their entirety, without need for explanation or justification. My practice is centered around empathic listening–which asks how you would like to be heard. I center you as the expert of your own experience, and take a strength-based approach to our work as I accompany you through the processes of growth and cultivating self-compassion. I have specialized training and expertise in working with: trans and non-binary identities, gender, sexuality, poly/non-monogamy, kink, BDSM, eating disorders, body image, queer and trans youth, parents and caregivers of queer and trans youth, HIV/AIDS, navigating gender transition in the medical industrial complex, depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, infidelity, and trauma. I offer weekly 45-minute individual therapy and 60-minute relationship therapy.

Hi! Thanks for looking at my listing. I’m happy to help people (ages 15 - 64) find a better quality of life. My specialties include trauma and post traumatic stress, anxiety and mood, and relationships. I am open to working with LBGTQIA, poly and other outside-the-box consensual sexual orientations.

I work with adults of all ages, genders, sexualities and relationship styles. I believe in healing through relationship, and that you are the expert on your own life. I use this existential approach to help you examine where you are on your journey and how you can use your own strengths to get to where you would like to be. I have a special interest in helping people at the intersections of their lives, when one season of their life is changing and another one starting. I can draw from many different treatment modalities to help you reach your goals. I take most insurances and have Saturday appointments.

I have experience working with LGBTQ and kink community and clients in or exploring non-monogamous relationships. These aspects of your identity may not be the focus of therapy but they will always be taken into consideration with understanding and respect. I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Aetna, United, Cigna insurance and self pay clients. I have availability for telehealth clients.

My name is Susan Masterson LCSW. I am a alternative lifestyle/sexuality friendly therapist. I work with LGBTQ and BDSM clientele as well as Poly relationships of all varieties. I am in private practice in Virginia Beach VA. I am also a certified trauma therapist and work with people who have experienced psychological trauma. I have an easy going manner and am accepting new patients. I uphold HIPAA Federal confidentiality laws and have office hours Monday - Thursday from 8:00 am to 6:30 pm. I am available for contact through FaceBook as Susan E Masterson LCSW and FetLife as Alternatherapist.

I am an AASECT certified sex therapist who likes to work with folks outside of the bell curve. I am Poly and Kink affirming and sex positive. Working with couples and thruples+ on honest communication, connection, and clearing resentments is my thing. I am English speaking and specialize in sex, trauma, and relationships.

I work with adult Xennials, Gen Xers, and Boomers through both individual and couples work. I specialize in assisting my clients to deal with stress, high-functioning anxiety, neurodiversity, trauma and/or depression. I also work with those who identify as being “Black Sheep” - or what I call “Black Unicorns”, trailblazers and family-disrupters or first generation pioneers, in addition to either formally un-parented or under-parented adults. My approach is rooted in Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy® (PACT), Trauma-Focused / Informed Approaches and Brainspotting, an innovative technique to lessen aspects of PTSD and remove performance / creative blocks. I work with adults + couples. I deeply value lifelong learning and am currently enrolled Sexual Health Program at the University of Michigan.

I am a certified Life Coach, Hypnotherapist, Time Paradigm Techniques(tm) Practitioner and Stress Biofeedback Practitioner who is also trained in family and couples therapy. My private practice is located in Melville, Johannesburg. I coach clients one on one or in small groups, and I also work with couples, families, several NGOs, schools and organisations. Face to face sessions are preferred, however webcam sessions can also be held via Skype or MSN Messenger, in certain circumstances. I am a woman who is comfortable working with either adults or teens. What matters most is YOU the client, knowing you are in a comfortable and safe space - ready to make the changes which will set you on the path towards YOUR authentic life. I spent ten years working as a manager in the corporate world, before a life-changing journey to the summit of Kilimanjaro inspired me to change the direction of my life and pursue passion, personal reward and adventure. It has not always been easy, I fall down, I get up again, I process the feedback, and I move forward. Coaching has supplied me with the tools to equip others to strive towards their own personal goals, whether it is finding the part of you which you lost long ago, or if you find yourself ready to set aside emotional baggage it no longer serves you to carry. I do not limit or seek to “fix” my clients. This does not mean the “fix” will not come. It will. All my clients are already perfect souls with unlimited potential. I am results focused. I have no interest in signing you up for life. I want to work with you, starting at point A, and ending at point B. You WILL succeed. Your goal might be anxiety relief, the formation of a career goal, weight and self esteem management or the elimination of a phobia. Or anything else. It really does not matter what you bring to our table. You will succeed. I will simply be your guide. I am comfortable in both private and business coaching environments. I have experience presenting to large groups, and am available for motivational presentations. To book a session (your first session is always free), request a rate card, or to chat to me directly please make contact via email. The first one hour session is always free, giving us a chance to meet each other without pressure and assess the potential of a future client-coach relationship. I hope to meet you soon! Suzanne (call me Soo)

Are you navigating the complexities of polyamorous relationships? I offer supportive therapy to individuals aged 18-64 who are exploring polyamory, questioning their relationship orientation, or facing relationship challenges such as depression, anxiety, jealousy, or attachment issues. My approach emphasizes your inherent wholeness and focuses on empowering you to build fulfilling relationships, and a life of purpose and joy.

As a Ukrainian immigrant, I also understand the unique challenges faced by those adjusting to life in a new country. My bicultural background allows me to provide culturally sensitive therapy in both English and Russian, fostering a safe space where you can freely express yourself.

You need a safe space, free of judgment to work through anxiety, stress, trauma, and building healthy relationships.

Hi, I’m Sydney, and I am here to offer that space. I seek to empower you to pull on the strengths you already have to navigate life stressors by promoting healing, nurturing an authentic self-image, and strengthening relationships.

I take a trauma-informed and strength-based approach to counseling, tailored to the individual needs of clients in the Black, African Diaspora, and LGBTQIA+ communities. Additionally, I work with Highly Sensitive Persons. My goal is to help you in managing difficult emotions, experiences and relationships. However, we will collaborate on the focus of sessions so that you are comfortable with your treatment goals. It is most important that you have a voice in your care!

I often help with the following concerns:

• Racial and Relational Trauma
• Attachment Wounds
• Trauma and PTSD
• Stress, Anxiety and OCD
• Interpersonal Relationships
• Ethical/Consensual Non-Monogamy
• Inclusion and Belonging
• Issues with Family of Origin
• Intersectional Identity Work
• Major Life Transitions
• Boundaries, Coping Skills and Mindfulness

If you are seeking ethical/consensual non-monogamy coaching for yourself and your partner(s) we wouldn’t focus on issues traditionally focused on in therapy. Instead, we would focus on you and your partner working through relationship goals such as better communication, boundaries, trust, combating jealousy, navigating individual trauma backgrounds, and cultivating a mutually beneficial relationship.

I use a strengths-based and client-centered approach to my work with clients. I believe in your ability to grow, change, and heal even in incredibly difficult circumstances. I work with a diverse range of individuals, couples, and groups on challenges including, but not limited to: racial identity formation, race related trauma, post-partum depression, non-monogamy, dating, familial relationships, career difficulties, adolescent challenges, transitions into adulthood, anxiety, and depression. I provide sessions in English.

I’m a poly affirming integrative trauma therapist. I primarily work with women and femmes. I have extensive experience working with poly people around issues related to shame, neurodiversity, secure attachment, sexual health, sex related pain (and pleasure) and trauma. I also have a wealth of experience working with bi and pansexual folks.

I am a licensed master social worker providing psychotherapy services to individuals of all ages. I understand the stress and pressure that people and society place on LGBTQ+, kinky and non-monogamous individuals, relationships and communities. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, intimacy or other stressors, I will work with you to ease distress and conflict within your life and your relationship(s). My goal is to establish an open, accepting and compassionate space for you to feel comfortable sharing your experiences so that you may work towards attaining greater life satisfaction.

I specialize in working with BIPOC, Kink/BDSM folx, Polyamorous/ENM Folx, LGBQ, Trans/GNC. I work with adults 18 and over.

I am a clinical social worker that focuses on providing therapy to those that are in the LGBTQIA, kink, and poly communities. I have previous experience working with those in the unhoused community and folks in the perinatal stages. My lived experience includes being part of the LGBTQIA population and living in a larger/fat body. Oftentimes my practice focuses on mitigating the impact of oppression, empowering clients, and assisting with behavioral changes that may reduce symptoms of mental illness. I usually serve individuals that are 14 years and older that are experiencing anything from symptoms of depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, trauma, disordered eating, and more. I utilize different therapeutic modalities depending on the client that I am working with and what symptoms they are experiencing.

I am here to help clients build the tools, resilience, and knowledge to grow and thrive. Clients deserve a clinician that is informed about who they are and the community they live in. I want to provide mental health care that helps you handle the stresses of life, past traumas, finding who you are, where you belong, and anything life throws at you. I am here to get through it together.

For the past nine years, I have been providing counseling and assessment services for a variety of clients. As a counselor, I am well-versed in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, and trauma. I work with individual adults. I am a LGBTQ+, kink, and polyam-friendly therapist. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). While I draw on CBT techniques, my therapeutic style is person-centered. My colleagues describe me as a “warm and fuzzy” therapist. My job as a therapist is to provide a safe space where we can explore and “organize” your thoughts and feelings so they become clearer and more manageable. I practice unconditional positive regard, which means that nothing you share with me is going to negatively impact the way I think or feel about you. I want therapy to be a place where you can be your authentic self.

***I am offering telemental health services and now accept a variety of insurance plans. In addition, group therapy is available as well. Here is the link for inputting insurance information to check benefits: https://hipaa.jotform.com/200667630633150

My goal is to combat the stigmas impacting marginalized communities through access to mental health resources. These stigmas create barriers to treatment, contribute to a lack of culturally competent resources, infringe upon a person’s bodily autonomy, and contribute to discriminatory incidents.

Specialties: substance use disorders, relationship dynamics and patterns, anxiety, depression, trauma, alternative relationship and lifestyles, and erotic trade industry.

Populations: I counsel all communities and specialize in non-monogamous relationships, individuals who have participated in the erotic trade industry, and the kink and queer communities.

The goal of my practice is to help you feel better and accept yourself; not just by addressing anxiety and depression and avoiding the things that feel bad but also by engaging with what brings you pleasure, joy and a sense of connection. This can be through an exploration of sexuality or through whatever you find in your life that makes you feel passionate and alive.

In my office, you will find that difference is not just accepted but celebrated.

I work with individuals and people in relationships to develop a loving, accepting and kind method of communication with each other. Together we can change behaviors, resolve issues, improve sexual functioning, manage anxiety, depression and other complex feelings and cope better with pain and suffering.

Working together is always a unique experience customized to your needs. I have experience using psychodynamic, mindfulness, Imago and cognitive behavioral approaches to therapy and I try to choose the methodology that suits best for the individuals in my office.

I have a special interest in supporting people through issues related to sexual exploration, sexual functioning, sexual identity and gender identity. Clients who are in non-monogamous relationships, swinger, polyamorous and/or kink relationships are welcome.

I am dedicated to families and individuals that live outside of the box and use my skills to bring clarity and harmony to alternative lifestyles. I am an experienced, affirming therapist and have been privileged to do work with families that are solution focused and values driven. I am particularly interested in working with interfaith and intercultural relationships. My main goal is to restore sustainable harmony to your life and work with both children and adults. Our other clinicians in the practice have specialty areas in the transgender community and those families affected by ASD. My website has more detailed information regarding fees, reviews, scheduling etc. I invite you to send an email or visit my website for more.

I am a Licensed Psychotherapist and Certified Sex Therapist.

I have been a psychotherapist and sex therapist for over 20 years and I am poly affirmative, kink affirmative and LGBT affirmative and treat most aspects of sexology. I am a member of AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists) and of AACAST (American Association of Couples and Sex Therapists).

I don’t take insurance but can provide an invoice for direct reimbursement. I also have a sliding scale for those who cannot afford my full fee.

I treat relationship issues including sexual desire issues, sexual dysfunction, monogamy agreements, negotiation, infidelity, and betrayal. I help with communication around decisions to open, modify or close poly relationships and can work with a variety of groups in a shared therapeutic relationship.

I have over 30 years of experience in the field. Until Covid I traveled around the world speaking on this topic and training other therapists. Now that training continues online. I am committed to helping foster sustainable flexible and fluid relationships that work.

Love relationships can be the source of our greatest pleasure and deepest pain. Intimacy is experienced when we feel safe with our partner(s) in being fully and naturally ourselves in ways we may not be with anyone else. We long to connect with someone that makes us feel desired and loved, and mutually share in friendship, love, trust, communication, respect, sex, and support.

Introducing or maintaining non-monogamy can expand both the joy and complications of our relationship(s). My practice specializes in polyamory and non-monogamy, addressing issues such as rebuilding trust and intimacy, negotiation of agreements, hierarchies and ‘veto’ power, ‘coming out’ to friends and family, personal insecurities/jealousy, and infidelity. I also specialize in LGBTQIA and alternative lifestyles including BDSM, kink, fetishes, and sex work.

I offer complimentary 20-minute phone consultations.

I am a psychotherapist in private practice in Boulder, CO, with a specialty in working with individuals around issues of gender and sexuality. I also have a specialty in providing empirically supported treatment for anxiety disorders (PTSD, OCD, phobias, social anxiety, etc.). With respect to gender and sexuality, the bulk of my work is with individuals exploring their gender identity and/or navigating gender transition. I provide psychotherapeutic support for this, as well as assessments for letters of eligibility for beginning puberty blockers, hormone therapy, or gender surgeries. A slightly smaller % of my clientele are generally those in the GLBIQQP area of the sexuality spectrum, as well as individuals who identify as poly or kinky. Some clients come to me for help with issues directly related to a polyamorous relationship, others see me for unrelated matters but want to see a therapist who is poly-affirming.

• Not on any insurance panels but accept cash, check, credit cards, and my billing service sends automatic statements once a month that makes submitting for out of network reimbursement (if applicable) slightly easier

• Risk free 90 minute initial consultation (no charge if you decide it is not a good fit, $275 if it is a good fit and we proceed to work together)

• $180/50 min session

• Initial sessions are always in person. Following that, I can at times offer phone/online sessions via a HIPAA compliant platform for remote sessions if needed.

I have specialized training in substance use, trauma, personality disorders, sex offenders, anger management, anxiety disorders, and men’s issues.

Professional specialties and skills: I love finding creative ways to approach the work, whether through spiritual practice, music, art, gaming, or television shows. Anything important for my clients to bring into the space is welcome in our work together. Likewise, I cater each therapeutic modality (narrative, somatic, relational, interpersonal, solutions-focused, etc.) to the individual, couple, or polycule I am working with.

For years I have been a clinical service provider collaborating with individuals who have survived trauma. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, gaining my Masters of Social Work at Howard University. When starting I worked with refugees supporting them in transition to the DC metro area. Then worked in clinical settings specific for those who experienced interpersonal violence including not limited to sexual assault and/or dating violence. In many of these settings I noticed that there were fewer services catering to LGBTQ+ and PoC. I ensured that I was informed and skilled to support these communities. This was critical when collaborating with those who have survived and/or engaged in the sex industry.
