I am a psychotherapist in the South Bay with a specialty focus on alternative lifestyles–including polyamory, swinging, and kink/BDSM involvement. I have helped many individuals and couples navigate these lifestyle choices, and I realize how important it is to talk to someone who is open to non-monogamous lifestyles and who is open-minded in general. I know how important it is not to feel judged for the lifestyle you are leading even if it goes against prevailing social norms. By contrast, I aim to listen closely to what YOU are bringing in: what is strong in your life and where you may be struggling or having emotional pain.

It is difficult to start a course of therapy. But if you are in emotional pain, it can feel like moods and issues are running your life rather than you doing so. This can leave you feeling lost, confused, and distressed. When you are under this dark cloud, it can be very helpful to talk to an objective outsider in a safe, confidential, and professional yet intimate setting. My goal is to work together to recognize hindrances and unhelpful patterns and to accentuate personal strengths in order to regain a sense of agency and equanimity in your life.

I have more than 15 years experience in the mental health field. I have been trained in Positive Psychology, Group therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness coping skills. These methods can help alleviate symptoms of depression or anxiety and address debilitating aspects of trauma. For more information, see www.ednawallace.com.

Per my website, I charge $220 for a couples session (1 hour) and $180 for an individual session (50 minutes). I am not on any insurance panels, but you can submit my super bill to your insurance if they offer out-of-network provider benefits. In addition, I have some sliding scale spots.

I look forward to working with you!

My specialties include LGBTQA+ issues, relationship issues, sexuality and gender, identity-based challenges, self-esteem, self-compassion, mindfulness, stress management, coping skills and parenting support. I serve young adults, adults and older adults.

My approach empowers clients to embrace their authentic selves, especially those who may feel they don’t fit traditional molds. This may include individuals with neurodivergence, non-conforming identities, or those in non-traditional relationship styles including non-monogamy forms such as CNM, Polyamory, and Relationship Anarchy. I work with LGBTQ teens and adults and those with fluid or explorative identities. I’m passionate about helping people discover their own path and build a life that truly resonates with who they are.

I work with individuals ages 12 and older (no couples) and provide services in English.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I utilize a variety of theoretical orientations, such as person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic approaches. By this, I mean that I will be genuine and authentic in session while encouraging the same from you, allowing you to direct the session, as I believe that you are the expert in your life. Also, I will help you to challenge your negative self-talk and other cognitive distortions while promoting positive changes through incorporating productive coping strategies and so forth.

I believe in expressing empathy, warmth, and genuineness in our sessions to help build trust. One of my ways of demonstrating this is by occasionally incorporating self-disclosure, should I determine that this would be beneficial to the therapeutic process. I do this in order to demonstrate that, not only do I have the education and professional experience to support my practice, but I am also an individual who has my own struggles and believes in transparency in an effort to destigmatize the need for addressing mental well-being.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I studied Counseling Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) with a specialization in Somatic Psychotherapy. Much of my seven years of therapeutic experience comes from my time serving marginalized communities in various Community Mental Health Settings. My current practice focuses on providing trauma-informed psychodynamic psychotherapy to adults and adolescents who identify (or think they may identify) with being part of the LGBT, Queer, Poly, Gender Non-Conforming and Kinky communities. I have a passion for social justice issues and exploring how systems of oppression impact marginalized communities. I use a harm reduction approach for those who use substances, and I’m also enthusiastic about creating a safe space to explore and integrate themes that may arise during the course of a psychedelic journey. My approach is eclectic and holistic for those who are facing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. I am also thrilled to be a member of the Health at Every Size (HAES) community, and I strive to provide competent care for all bodies.

I work with adult individuals or families facing concerns related to sex and relationships. Including differences in desire, chronic pain, communication, negotiation, differing sexual values, past betrayals, depression/anxiety, changes related to chronic illness and disability, religious trauma, LGBTQ community, Poly/ENM dynamics, Kink dynamics, and general mental health concerns.

I help highly sensitive people (HSP), introverts, and LGBQ+ and trans* people cope with anxiety and trauma, improve their self-esteem, and relax into and heal relationships. I specialize in interpersonal, dialectical behavior (DBT), and psychodynamic approaches as well as Gottman relationship therapy techniques.

Romantic relationships arrangements with 2+ people, teens, young adults

I provide a relaxed, open, collaborative and non-judgmental atmosphere. When working with patients, I will cater my approach to your needs, but my natural style is goal-oriented, so I tend to delve into the issues at hand so that you can see improvement in your emotional well-being as quickly as possible. Society tends to define a romantic relationship as a one on one arrangement, but the truth is, that is not always the case.

Whether your relationship involves two or more people, or whether you have (or are considering) an open relationship, working with a polyamory-aware counselor can help you to define your boundaries as a couple, create agreements for a healthy relationship, cope with jealousy, and explore sexual and romantic relationships that fall outside of traditional concepts of monogamous arrangements. If you are beginning to explore your identity or orientation as polyamorous as an individual, it is advisable to work with a counselor who affirms and recognizes this as such.

I understand that a loving relationship can take many forms, and my aim when working with clients is at affirming healthy, ethical, consensual non-monogamous relationships.

I am a relationship therapist in Fort Collins who works with couples and individuals who are struggling with intimacy issues. Some couples discover that polyamory and similar open arrangements can be both rewarding and challenging as they work to establish rules of fidelity in their partnership. In our work together, we will explore current concerns, and we may look at the erotic blueprints of childhood that can impact your intimate relationships. I will also provide practical, solution focused tools to help you get your intimate life back on track. I am friendly and affirming of all forms of sexual expression and look forward to helping you create an open, loving partnership.
