Surrogate partner therapy is a somatic form of therapy designed to increase a client’s capacity for emotional and physical intimacy. It was developed by Masters and Johnson in the 1970s and uses evidence-based research to overcome challenges related to intimacy, touch, and sexuality. The client forms a therapeutic relationship with the surrogate partner to develop the skills to form a relationship with a partner out in the real world. The therapy proceeds at a pace friendly to each client’s needs. This experiential learning is divided into phases designed to build self-awareness and resolve deeply-ingrained issues surrounding relationships, intimacy, and sexuality. Emily works with a supervising licensed therapist and accepts clients of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship modalities.

I truly care about what you are experiencing. Having the right support is the key to being able to overcome areas that are keeping you stuck.

I’m committed to providing a safe and empathetic space where you can share your experiences without judgment. Our sessions are collaborative. My promise is that I will talk back with you and help you every single session.

I have been working w Boston area clients for over 30 years on many issues… Overcoming depression, anxiety, and effects of past trauma as well as the addictive patterns many of us use to avoid pain… (alcohol, food, ‘“people, places and things’” etc). Also establishing satisfying relationships… families.. careers. And growth in spiritual development.

I have been working with folks ion the Poly and Kink community for 10 years or so and appreciate the integrity and dedication of many of my Poly and/or Kink clients.

I have much experience with Bisexual, Lesbian, Gay, Trans and Questioning clients.

The most important thing to me is to assist folks to grow in their ability to love and support themselves … and as a result to have more flourishing relationships of all sorts. I am constantly inspired by the obstacles clients overcome…. And honored to be invited to assist clients on their journey.

These days I offer many coaching and energy-focusing tools to enhance the process. Clients and I also really treasure good conversations that bring out feelings, understandings, and solutions. Currently only insurance that allows “Out of Network Providers” can cover my work. However, my sliding scale is surprisingly flexible. Please see my website for more. - Does phone consultation

I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, and partners in navigating the challenges of sex, intimacy, and relationships. I have advanced training in LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy and non-monogamy, which has given me the honor of working with everyone from established polycules to individuals and partners beginning the process of opening their relationships. I provide therapy that is non-judgmental, warm, and collaborative, drawing on Narrative Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Queer Theory. My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that emotional connection and pleasure form the foundation of growth and healing.

I enjoy working working with youth and adults who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community and are exploring issues around gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, and coming out. I also work with individuals who have a history of trauma, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, and Depression. I am passionate about supporting clients who are recovering from trauma in attaining a greater sense of regulation and calm in their nervous systems, in order to lead happier, more fulfilled lives.

I offer traditional talk-therapy. I also utilize Somatic Experiencing techniques in my work, a therapeutic modality which supports clients in releasing trauma that is stored in the body’s nervous system.

I specialize in working with adults who experience depression, grief and loss, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, women’s issues, and couples therapy.

I focus on sources of inner conflict that may be tied to different labels society puts on you and work on alleviating any shame you may experience from this. This includes sexual orientation, religion, race and ethnicity, body shape/size, among others. I also have ample experience working with those who experienced emotional/physical abuse, and different trauma-bonding attachment styles (“why do I keep going back to my ex?”). 

I strive to co-create a courageous space so you can express yourself freely and feel heard, seen, and cared for by me. We’ll stay mindful of both verbal and non-verbal cues, as well as your emotions, thoughts, and bodily sensations. I approach the therapeutic journey with a both/and perspective instead of either/or (informed by DBT), which allows us to hold space for multiple things at the same time (ex: I’m mad at my parents and also recognize that they did their best).

I have experience working with BIPOC individuals, sexually and gender diverse people, poly/CNM, BDSM/kink, and people with minor attraction. I have successfully supported people in their healing from trauma (especially religious and cultural), abuse/neglect, shame, internal conflicts, and toxic relationships.

I am a nonbinary, neurodivergent, kink-positive and polyamory-positive licensed social worker located in the state of New York, working with adults and teens through Feya Health. My philosophy focuses on helping clients identify their strengths and see their resilience. That means that I want to help you to develop a positive self-image and a practice of honoring your needs, even when you feel overwhelmed by life stressors like discrimination. (Also, it means I think you’re a badass!)

My areas of expertise include working with the LGBT+ and neurodivergent communities and empowering clients to self-advocate. In addition to just traditional talk therapy, I’m trained in cutting-edge treatment methods such as EMDR and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. My practice is primarily telehealth, because making myself accessible to clients with mobility needs is important to me. A few of my clinical interests are the life stressors of intersectional marginalization, coping with trauma, psychoshamanic therapy, narrative and creative modalities, practice with groups, and the therapeutic benefits of tabletop roleplaying games.

I’m a non-traditional relationship therapist and I’ve completed over 100 hours of evidence-based relationship and couples therapy trainings. I provide emotionally focused, trauma-informed, queer affirming, sex positive, poly and kink friendly relationship therapy.

Are you opening your relationship and looking for a non-monogamy roadmap? Or maybe you and your partner(s) have already opened up but you need help defining your boundaries, creating healthy agreements, and navigating jealousy? Do you want to explore new fetishes, start going to play parties, or negotiate a BDSM contract? How you love is so valid. And together we can create a relationship that honors everyone’s needs, boundaries, limits, and desires. No matter what has happened that has brought you to therapy, there is a way through. I’m not afraid to go into dark places with you. In therapy, I’ll listen deeply, move you out of conflict cycles, and help you heal emotional wounds. You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to help.
