Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

My first goal as a therapsit is to offer non-judgmental, non-pathologizing support. All clients deserve to be heard and respected, no matter what their relationship choices. I work best with people who have had an experience of being "outside the norm", and personally celebrate what makes all of us different.

I specialize in working with poly/kinky/asexual clients in my private practice. As a student of human sexuality and anthropology, I understand also the challenges faced by people who undertake monogamy. I also enjoy working with artists, as I am an artist myself, and utilize creative writing and art therapy techniques to help clients better understand and relate to their experience.

I believe that each person is the author of their own experience. No matter what your path has been in your life, your experience is unique to you, and I respect the individuality of your story and your emotions.

Please feel free to email or call if you have any questions about my work. I look forward to hearing from you!

I am working towards a certification in Sex Therapy, and wanting to specialize the work with Poly, BDSM, Kink, LGBPIQQA, Trans/GNC/Non-Binary communities. I speak English. I work with adult individuals and couples, remoting via telehealth in the state of California.

I treat late teens to adults of all ages, women, men, couples, and polycule groups. Clinical focus on Women’s issues, depression, anxiety, complex/childhood trauma; LGBTQIA+ issues; Kink, BDSM, Poly/ENM and other non-traditional and alternative relationship and family configurations. I am trained to facilitate ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and integration for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, OCD and more, for individuals and couples. I am also trained as a Sex Therapy-Informed Professional, and in Nature-Informed Therapy.

I am a licensed, bilingual, clinical psychologist with over seven years of experience providing individual and group therapy in the Washington, DC metro area. I work with adults and older adolescents who present with a wide variety of concerns such as relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem, women’s issues, perfectionism, stress management, anxiety, and depression. I specialize in working with trauma survivors, LGBTQ+ folks, individuals looking to explore cultural/identity issues, college/graduate students, and individuals in polyamorous/consensually non-monogamous/kink/BDSM relationships.

I am a sex-positive clinician who is aware and affirming of sexual diversity, including polyamory, consensual non-monogamy (CNM), kink, BDSM, altsex communities and other sexual identities. I recognize that sexual diversity is more than sexual orientation. It includes our sexual and relationship structure, orientation, preferences and practices. All people deserve to meet with a therapist who understands and affirms their relationship identity and sexual practices without unnecessarily making that a focus of treatment. My practice is a safe and inclusive space for all identities.

As an LGBTQ therapist, I am committed to providing a safe and affirming space for diverse sexual and gender identities. If you are struggling with feelings or experiences of shame, confusion, anxiety, depression, rejection, discrimination, or bullying due to your sexual or gender identity, therapy can offer a healing space to process these negative experiences and improve your sense of belonging, self-acceptance, and self-worth as well as your relationships with others. Therapy can also be a useful space to deepen our relationship with ourselves and learn what it means to love ourselves radically.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not accept payment directly from insurance companies. However, most insurance plans offer part or full coverage for out-of-network mental health services. Please contact me to discuss my services and fees further.

I have over 20 years of clinical experience across a variety of settings and have spoken at national conferences on social work. I look forward to creating your best life with you through a process of collaborative goal development. Not only can we find multiple ways to work through the concerns that are holding you back but can use your personal strengths and belief systems to guide us. I have extensive experience in complementary practices and strive to co-create an integrative holistic approach to mental health treatment.

I am an out of network provider. I collect fees for service when delivered and you may bill your health insurance for reimbursement. I do have limited sliding scale options for extenuating circumstances. I work with adults, couples and polycules and am kink friendly. My clinical expertise is in trauma recovery.

I am a licensed psychotherapist in Philadelphia. I work with individuals and couples and specialize in relationships - relationships within families, between partners, between metamours, and one’s relationship with themself.

However, if you would prefer to include multiple partners, we can discuss this as well) and I am sex-positive, LGBTQ friendly, kink-knowledgeable. I also work with individuals on issues including trauma, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions, chronic illness, and a myriad of other issues.

The desire to know one’s self intimately and for that self to be known and safe in the presence of others is a vital part of the human experience. Therapy is a space where you can practice deepening intimacy with yourself, so that you can share yourself more fully with others. I am a sex-positive therapist who strives to create a safe, non-judgmental environment that is welcoming to all bodies, orientations, relationship configurations, and lifestyles. Your body is not wrong or broken; all of who you are is welcome here.

I am especially passionate about working with couples to increase emotional and sexual satisfaction, men’s identity and sexuality issues, grief and loss, body image issues, and gender identity issues. I have significant experience working with queer and transgender clients.

My counseling style is compassionate, collaborative, curious, and playful! I bring highly specialized training and knowledge of sexuality with me into our sessions, and have a particular gift at asking thought-provoking questions that help clients generate new insight into their experiences. My approach is integrative, combining emotionally focused therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, mindfulness training, and self-compassion training.

I am a clinical social worker committed to openness and the power of self-expression. My clients and I work together to explore opportunities for healing and growth, through an embracing, compassionate lens that nurtures strengths and honors that which makes each of us unique. I have practiced integrative psychotherapy for ten years with clients seeking to address all kinds of personal and interpersonal goals, using a variety of approaches including emotionally focused therapy, relational psychodynamic therapy, somatic and cognitive-behavioral approaches, as well as trauma-focused therapy (including EMDR.) I am certified in psychotherapy related to gender and sexuality from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in New York City.

Are your emotions getting the best of you on a daily basis? You feel out of control and are struggling to manage life’s stress? Personal relationships are struggling as a result and you don’t know where to turn? These feelings are normal for people who have trauma in their past. Depression, anxiety, anger, fear, and loneliness are often a result of a difficult past. Add in present day struggles and these emotions can easily take ahold of you. This may cause you to lose hope in the future. I want to help you rediscover that hope one day at a time. I use CBT as a baseline to help those struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, and other emotional issues. I am kink, poly, and queer friendly with both personal and professional experience in these arenas.

I own an LGBTQ and poly-friendly private group practice for holistic marriage and family therapy with a specialization on preschoolers, children, teens, and young adults.

On a side note, I am also a 500 hour registered yoga therapist, so I enjoy offering mediation, breathing, yoga poses, and holistic techniques into my practice for PTSD/trauma healing. I offer an out-of-the-box approach using creative art, yoga, music, animals, and outdoor walking therapies for wellness and coping skills. I also offer phone and distance video sessions to residents of CT or international residents. I am considered an out-of-network provider. What that means is that payment in full is due at the time of your session and then you may seek potential reimbursement from your insurance. I’ve had clients that receive 100% reimbursement and some that have no benefits. You can also use a HSA or FSA card for services. I am happy to walk you through this process.
