Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I am a sex therapist in private practice in Dallas, Texas. My specialties are queer, kink, and consent! I am passionate about reducing shame and stigma when it comes to sexual minorities. I offer in-person and online sessions.

As a relationship therapist, I focus on cultivating healthy communication styles, working through conflict, and examining the vulnerable feelings underlying stuck and tense points in the relationship. Together, we’ll manage feelings of loneliness, shame, and disconnectedness so you can feel empowered towards celebrating a healing version of yourself. I have specific expertise with cultural, ethnic, and racial identity issues, relationship challenges, and conflict (siblings, couples, peers, families, polycules, etc).

I specialize in working with emerging adults (18-40), especially BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, sex workers, kink/BDSM, interracial couples, poly/CNM, and ADHD. I have experience with populations dealing with complex trauma, abuse, complicated relationships, identity crisis, and cultural guilt/shame.

I help individuals and couples find their way to more satisfying sex. I honor where each person is at with regards to their sexual choices. My main objective is helping you get more of what you want, whether it is acceptance of your sexuality, greater sensual or erotic pleasure and gratification, or more intimacy and communication with a lover. I work with a range of communities: Poly, Queer, Kinky, Transgender, Furry Folk, HIV +. I also have experience working with people with a range of fetishes. I speak some French and some Spanish. I offer online and phone consultations. I am open, loving, and non-judgmental.

Her style is open and direct and she maintains a progressive approach to her work, holding a strong interest in guiding non-traditional or ethically non-monogamous couples through relationship challenges. Ms. Stewart brings to her work a robustly feminist approach, believing that when women are better able to connect to their sexuality on their own terms, with regard to decision-making, choice and a focus on their own pleasure first, they will experience increased enjoyment of their sexuality and be better equipped to engage with their partners in high-quality sex. Sexual empowerment is a primary theme of her work and she believes this is a fundamental ingredient necessary for sexual pleasure.

Ms. Stewart obtained her Bachelors Degree from Indiana University, studying both psychology and sociology, minoring in gender studies, while also holding a research position at the world-renowned Kinsey Institute.

Hello and welcome ALL. I am an LPC-A with my M.Ed. in Couples and Family therapy and a certified sex therapist through the Sexual Health Alliance. I am a trauma professional and Gottman trained.

I specialize in all forms of consensually non-monogamous (CNM) relationships. Clients come to me when they are looking to navigate a new dynamic or are feeling stuck in their current relationship style. Struggles may include feelings of jealousy, shame, guilt, stigmas, and fear as well as breakdowns in communication. I’ve been in a consensually non-monogamous relationship for more than 25 years. I’ve been there, and I’ve seen a lot of what those in this open dynamic experience. I’ve witnessed many friends going to some amazing therapists only to spend their sessions trying to educate their counselor on their lifestyle, or worse, defend it. I believe you deserve a therapist who understands and is knowledgeable in CNM.

I also work with clients who are experiencing desire differences, sexual dissatisfaction or dysfunction, infidelity, low libido, and “porn/sex addiction.” I welcome the LGBTQ+ and kink communities. My practice is sex-positive and affirming to all sexual orientations and gender identities.

I draw from Gottman, emotionally focused, and mindfulness modalities as helpful tools in the therapy process. I want to assist you in understanding your unhealthy thinking patterns, navigate positive relationship dynamics and improve your sexual intimacy and identity.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I served in the United States Air Force as a mental health technician. Afterward, I received my degree in public relations where I worked for several small boutique firms in Austin, Texas.

Hi! I’m a human who happens to be a therapist as well as a member of a lot of the communities we serve at TheraBee. I am fairly flexible in my approach to therapy, although I tend to encourage you to become more embodied and present in your physical self – sometimes through talking, sometimes by noticing; we will probably move around and get curious! Does that land with you? I feel very strongly that the fit between therapist and client is one of the most important parts of allowing the process to work so that we can work toward real feelings of calm and putting the “health” back into your mental health.

It’s crucial to me that I always approach you and the entire therapeutic process from a nonjudgmental and secular viewpoint, with scientific research at its core. That being said, I will share a little more about the importance of me being a real person; it’s that I know stuff. Not just facts about therapy, and a bunch of different modalities, but also stuff about life. And “lifestyle”. Basically, if you usually have to explain your lifestyle to someone, I’ll probably get you. And, if you usually have to explain that your lifestyle is NOT a part of why you are stressed/upset/anxious/depressed/(whatever), then we will probably be able to get you somewhere because we won’t be bogged down in those details. Unless it IS what you want to focus on, then we can dig in without you having to explain to me what the jargon means. All of that being said, I can also help you if you have a lingering question in your mind about “Is it kinky or is it abuse?” It is not a fun question to have lurking – let’s sort that shit out together.

I specialize in working with adults who are exploring and/or are engaged in alternative models and experiences of sexuality, including BDSM, kink, polyamory and consensual non monogamy spectrum. I work closely with individuals and couples to achieve their unique vision of a satisfying life and healthy relationships, allowing you to move through the world with ease and fulfillment.

I love working with relationships and families of all types. Our relationships are the foundation of our lives and when there is a problem it often impacts everything. Problems often become more noticeable during times of change (such as beginning or ending a relationship, having children, death of a loved one, moving, or a job change) and can build up over time until they break the relationship. People often report having problems with communication, conflict management, intimacy, boundaries, parenting, and finances. People often want to feel heard, understood, respected, connected, safe, and loved. They want to feel like their values and needs are honored in the relationship and they want to be a team. I specialize in working with people to develop strong relationships through positive communication and clear boundaries. I am an English-speaking clinician that works from a change-oriented framework which focuses on moving forward and building on past and current strengths and resources. I accept private pay and will provide a monthly detailed receipt for those who would like to apply for reimbursement from their insurance. I do offer a sliding fee program for clients who need financial support in order to access services. The sliding fee program is based on family size and monthly income to provide a percentage of discount off the normal service fee.
