I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, I see clients virtually and in person. My office is in Seal Beach my specialty is sex therapy, Trauma (which I prefer to use ART to treat), AHD, Neurodivergence, Identity, LGBTQ+, and Anxiety. I am bilingual in English and Vietnamese, the populations I serve are clients who are high achievers and have difficulty managing their life or relationships with others. People who struggle with their cultural, personal, sexual, or gender identity, and people wanting to explore, normalize, or accept parts of themselves they may not fully understand or want to work past the trauma behind it.

Counseling Approach & Philosophy I approach counseling with a holistic assumption of the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit. I also assume that there is an innate tendency for clients to grow towards health and wholeness. Rather than labeling old patterns a pathologies, I prefer to recognize them as coping strategies developed as a part of the individual’s attempts for safety and health, which may now be obsolete. In my work I focus on helping clients identify both those patterns that may be holding them back and the skills and resources they have available to become more choice-full in their lives.

I utilize a mindful, body-centered experiential and relational approach. I also pay attention to the systemic nature of interpersonal interaction in relationships and families. Through attention to present moment experience, comes the discovery of beliefs, thoughts, feelings, memories and images that impact daily life in both positive and negative ways. The awareness and corrective emotional experiences in therapy support building resources and adopting more effective patterns.

My approach is a flexible, organic experience of healing for many emotional concerns, particularly anxiety, sadness, grief, fear, shame, anger, loneliness, guilt, sexual and creative blockages. We work to bring the hidden into light. That which has caused you to distort your inner strength can be brought to the foreground and choices can be made. I embrace all gender expressions and sexual orientations. I have experience supporting a variety of relationship configurations and lifestyles, and can assist in navigating issues that can surface in these choices, such as boredom, jealousy, intimacy blockages, differing needs and desires, sexual and emotional satisfaction.

Influenced by the works of Fritz Perls, Wilhelm Reich and Rollo May, I will help you explore what has been fed to you and become indigestible. We will work to move through the layers of pain towards a new, authentic expression of Self.

I believe that we are continually remaking and creating ourselves and our experiences. Sometimes we do this without awareness, and suffer from self-deception and distortion. The goal is for you to become aware of what you are doing, how you are doing it, and how you can change.

Individuals: Individual work is core to my practice. I work with adults and adolescents. Together we can explore whatever you feel to be disturbing your experience of life, particularly depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, spiritual and creative blocks, illness, childhood abuse, trauma or issues related to sexuality, gender expression, and intimacy.

Couples: In working with couples, I assist my clients in their exploration of relationship. I work with intimate partners, siblings, business partners and friendship pairs. I am particularly drawn towards working with couples who are in the process of changing the way they experience relationship, whether that change is one of coming together, or moving apart.

Families and Groups: I have a broad definition of family, ranging from the traditional nuclear family to families of choice and nontraditional configuration. I can assist you in exploring the patterns that sometimes interfere with the healthy functioning of the family system. I also work with groups, some short term, and others long term. Please inquire for further information about newly forming groups, and groups open to new members.

Would you like to feel more confident, relaxed, and playful with intimacy and more comfortable and assured with your ability to connect with others? For many people it is difficult to talk about the sexual and relationship difficulties that they experience. Yet these areas are often the source of some of our greatest joys and our deepest pain. Problems in either of these areas often impact your sense of self-worth and decrease your overall happiness.

Using conversation-based therapy, Dr. Jones offers a safe, accepting, and warm environment where you can openly and comfortably talk about your sexual and relationship issues. By working collaboratively you can leave the frustration, disappointment, pressure, anger, guilt, and hurt that you have experienced and move towards intimacy, connection, openness, honesty, trust, acceptance, love, and joy.

Therapy can sometimes be difficult for busy professionals who are often on the go or those who simply don’t feel comfortable visiting a therapist’s office. Thanks to advancements in HIPPA approved online platforms, you can benefit from Dr. Jones’ compassionate approach from anywhere, including the comfort of your very own home.

The focus of my practices is on couples/relationships. I am a Certified Gottman Therapist. I am a sex-positive, poly-friendly, kink-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and culturally-sensitive therapist. I take a strengths-based approach while integrating empirically supported treatment methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy.

I am a sex-positive couples therapist. When working with couples, I practice Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which integrates empirical evidence on what makes love last. Based on 40 years of relationship research, the Gottman approach takes the guess-work out of how we can cultivate strong & lasting relationships. When working to increase sexual & emotional intimacy, I practice Imago Relationship Therapy.

I use Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or “Tapping”) to help clients reduce stress, panic and anxiety. Tapping is a confluence of mindfulness, self-compassion, exposure therapy, and accessing the body’s ability to down-regulate our stress response through acupuncture points. Tapping is also highly effective in healing traumatic experiences and desensitizing both context specific & interpersonal triggers. You can learn more about Tapping in this Ted Talk & Research Article.

Folks are getting hurt by the misuse of faith-based power. Adverse Religious Experiences can have long-term impacts on our psyche, emotions and self-worth.

I can appreciate the importance of finding a safe place to process these wounds and discover internal resources necessary to heal.

I am a certified sex therapist and specialize in erotic, intimacy and relationship concerns including couples therapy, desire discrepancies, rebuilding connection, conflict and communication skills for individuals and/or their partners. I am a sex-positive LGBTQI+ ally and am a poly-affirmative and kink-friendly therapist. I completed the post-graduate sex therapy and sex education certification at University of Michigan and have attended numerous polyamory-specific conferences, specialized trainings, and read extensively on polyamory and consensual non-monogamy. I bring this foundation of knowledge and experience to my therapy practice. I work with individuals and partners on how to thoughtfully navigate the complexities of multiple-partner relationships including understanding how attachment styles, cultural conditioning, romantic and sexual identities shape our behavior and relationships.

My treatment approach is based in internal family systems (IFS) and emotionally focused therapy (EFT) which includes attachment and parts work, challenging expectations and self-talk and investigating patterns to help you better understand yourself and help to achieve your goals.

I am an engaging, interactive therapist who believes therapy should be interesting and lively. My areas of expertise include: LGBT concerns and relationships, trauma, depression, anxiety, body image, spirituality, and parenting. Therapy with me focuses on strengths more than weaknesses, the present more than the past, and options more than obstacles.

I work with single adults (25+) on relationship issues, depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, with a focus on the LGBTQIA, kink, poly, BDSM and fetish communities. I am paneled with several insurance companies; please refer to Therapyden.com for a listing.

I am an eclectic, systemic therapist, drawing on many therapy models to create a tailored, client-centered experience. With a specialization in Sex Therapy, I am experienced with and affirming and celebratory of all sexually-marginalized clients, but I enjoy supporting folx in many other areas of growth as well.

Some specialty topics include: the use of kink in self-discovery or healing trauma, exploring non-monogamy, exploring gender and sexual orientation, coming out, issues around perfectionism and self-worth, adult children of alcoholics, issues facing pregnant or postpartum couples, healing after infidelity, and neurodivergence in relationships.

I specialize in individual and couple work and welcome the presence of partners and family members to enhance the therapeutic experience. Many of my clients are in the middle of life transitions, have experienced trauma, are trying to navigate or reinvigorate romantic relationships, or are experiencing anxiety or depression. I am happy to work with humans from all backgrounds, but I am especially trying to make space for LGBTQ+ and gender-diverse folx, as well as the kink, CNM & polyamorous communities. I also enjoy working with couples who are navigating adult neurodivergence (autism, ADHD, etc) within the context of their relationship. I am SW affirming, and work through a social justice lens.

English-speaking; seeing fully-vaccinated clients in-person, virtual sessions also always available.

Making the decision to seek out therapy is a often a difficult one. Too often, fear of judgment stops people from seeking out the help that they both want and need. As an individual and relational therapist, I provide services for individuals, families, and all forms of adult relationship constellations and systems, including polyamorous and non-monogamous families. Whether you are on a journey to find yourself, to define your identity, or you are looking for a therapist that understands your sexual identity and/or lifestyle, I offer a safe space for you to address areas in your life that are causing you distress in order to foster the change you desire. I counsel clients on a variety of concerns including but not limited to PTSD, depression, self-esteem, parenting, divorce/separation, blended families, grief/loss, communication, life changes, sexual drive and function, gender identity, sexual identity, sexual orientation, sexual expression, and relationship concerns. Please feel free to contact me to see if we are a good fit to work well together.

I work mostly with queer and trans adults, as well as cisgender women with big emotions, trauma, and complicated relationship patterns. I am trained in EMDR for trauma as well as long term, psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I am queer and polyamory affirming (and encouraging!).

I provide services for individual adults 18+ and to couples/polycules of all relationship structures. I specialize in self-esteem issues, life transitions, and mood disorders. I also utilize expressive arts therapy with folks that are interested.

I currently work with adult individuals and intimate partners within a private practice setting. I frequently draw upon mindfulness-based interventions, somatic experiencing, emotionally focused therapy, family systems theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, The Gottman Method, embodiment, and attachment theory. I offer in-person appointments in the Asheville area. My clinical focus includes attachment wounding, consensual non-monogamy, grief and loss, protective behaviors/codependency, conscious uncoupling, relationship and life transitions, and spiritual transformations.

I work with individuals (18+) who are navigating all different configurations of intimate relationships. My approach is trauma-informed and based in narrative practices and parts work.

I am a licensed counselor specializing in relationships, depression/anxiety, and life-changing-events. I serve the whole community, but I do my best work within the Poly, LGBTQ, and Kink communities. I have been told by clients that I am warm, non-judgmental, and authentic. I have both evening and weekend availability. I also do online counseling with a platform similar to Skype. I take a variety of insurances and Employee Assistance Programs. Live the life you want to live.

I specialize in open, nonmonogamous relationships such as polyamory and swinging, alternative lifestyles such as kink / BDSM, LGBT+, and secular or alternative faiths such as paganism. Trying to live more freely and authentically can be hard. Some struggle feeling something is wrong with them. Some people have just been polybombed, the love of their life seeming to say they’re not enough. Others, having taken the leap can’t seem to stop fighting. Feeling isolated, scared, tired, and like they’re going to lose everything.

Take a moment to imagine your life as it could be in a few months. You are in love, all over again. With your partner, a new partner, yourself, and how you live. Accepted for who you are, allowed to love in a way that feels natural, you are excited about your new life.

Coming into alternative worlds, I saw people go to amazing therapists who just didn’t understand. I watched friends spend the first few sessions teaching very experienced counsellors the vocabulary of their lifestyles. I believe you deserve a therapist that understands. If you live differently and want a therapist that can hear you, message or call me for a free consultation.

I specialize in working with adults and couples who are polyamorous or wishing to open their relationship, those wanting to explore kink/BDSM, sex workers, folks with pain during sex, desire discrepancies, and folks wanting to address shame, build assertiveness, and practice better communication skills. Please visit my website for more information about me and how I work!

Is trauma or anxiety keeping you from connecting and communicating in the way that you want to in your poly relationship? Sometimes part of us is totally on board with the poly plan, and another part is terrified or putting up defenses, and it can be hard to figure out why. I help people in poly relationships work through patterns that keep them from feeling safe to explore what they desire and hold their partners’ emotions. We can connect to your body and your values to help you to get back on track and living the life you want to live. I use humor during session, and laugh and smile often. I am not afraid to explore difficult, painful, or taboo topics, and enjoy sharing these conversations so that you, too, will feel more comfortable in your own skin. I’ve been on (and am still on!) this journey myself, so I have empathy for how difficult it can be to unlearn monogamy and reach a safe and secure attachment. I utilize EMDR and IFS (“parts work”) to help people get to the heart of the matter and make changes for themselves. If you want to live more authentically, have kind and compassionate responses to your partner, or not care so much about what other people are thinking or how you “should be”, then give me a call for a free consultation! You can easily schedule on my website as well, www.BraveSpaceSD.com.
