Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I am the author of The New Monogamy, as well as five other books on sex and relationships, including Getting the Sex You want, When You’re the One Who Cheats and the soon to be released Open Monogamy.

My private practice with relationships of all types is currently on Zoom, and I do Intensives at my office in Los Angeles, CA or Fairfield, CT.

I take all appointments by email at the email address listed above.

I don’t take insurance but can provide an invoice for direct reimbursement. I also have a sliding scale for those who cannot afford my full fee.

I treat relationship issues including sexual desire issues, sexual dysfunction, monogamy agreements, negotiation, infidelity, and betrayal. I help with communication around decisions to open, modify or close poly relationships and can work with a variety of groups in a shared therapeutic relationship.

I have over 30 years of experience in the field. Until Covid I traveled around the world speaking on this topic and training other therapists. Now that training continues online. I am committed to helping foster sustainable flexible and fluid relationships that work.

My main focus as a therapist is sex and relationships. The majority of my work is with GSRD (Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diverse) clients, who are LGBTQIA+, kinky, polyamorous, or sex workers. I work with individuals and couples/groups. Open ended work or a fixed number of sessions. I work in person and online.

I am a member of the Pink Therapy Advanced Discussions: Kink seminar group.

2020: I have recently finished a piece of research about the experience of queer menopausal clients in therapy. I will be speaking about my work at various events during the year.

My previous career was in creative arts and media. I have published several books and have been writing for the Lancet/Lancet Psychiatry for several years.

I am a psychotherapist in private practice in Boulder, CO, with a specialty in working with individuals around issues of gender and sexuality. I also have a specialty in providing empirically supported treatment for anxiety disorders (PTSD, OCD, phobias, social anxiety, etc.). With respect to gender and sexuality, the bulk of my work is with individuals exploring their gender identity and/or navigating gender transition. I provide psychotherapeutic support for this, as well as assessments for letters of eligibility for beginning puberty blockers, hormone therapy, or gender surgeries. A slightly smaller % of my clientele are generally those in the GLBIQQP area of the sexuality spectrum, as well as individuals who identify as poly or kinky. Some clients come to me for help with issues directly related to a polyamorous relationship, others see me for unrelated matters but want to see a therapist who is poly-affirming.

• Not on any insurance panels but accept cash, check, credit cards, and my billing service sends automatic statements once a month that makes submitting for out of network reimbursement (if applicable) slightly easier

• Risk free 90 minute initial consultation (no charge if you decide it is not a good fit, $275 if it is a good fit and we proceed to work together)

• $180/50 min session

• Initial sessions are always in person. Following that, I can at times offer phone/online sessions via a HIPAA compliant platform for remote sessions if needed.

I have specialized training in substance use, trauma, personality disorders, sex offenders, anger management, anxiety disorders, and men’s issues. I have experience working with a variety of Kink topics. Including, but, not limited to, ABDL, DDLG, BDSM, Age Play, Race Play, Consensual Nonconsensual, and Power Dynamics. I have experience with a variety of different relationship styles like poly, consensual nonmonogamy, swinging, and open relationships.

Professional specialties and skills: I love finding creative ways to approach the work, whether through spiritual practice, music, art, gaming, or television shows. Anything important for my clients to bring into the space is welcome in our work together. Likewise, I cater each therapeutic modality (narrative, somatic, relational, interpersonal, solutions-focused, etc.) to the individual, couple, or polycule I am working with. My client base includes folks of all racial backgrounds, gender expressions, identities, sexual orientations, and kink/BDSM/poly/ethical non-monogamy experiences.

Language(s) spoken: English

Populations served - ages, concerns, etc.: I work with all ages, but particularly love to work with Young Adults ages 18-25.

For years I have been a clinical service provider collaborating with individuals who have survived trauma. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, gaining my Masters of Social Work at Howard University. When starting I worked with refugees supporting them in transition to the DC metro area. Then worked in clinical settings specific for those who experienced interpersonal violence including not limited to sexual assault and/or dating violence. In many of these settings I noticed that there were fewer services catering to LGBTQ+ and PoC. I ensured that I was informed and skilled to support these communities. This was critical when collaborating with those who have survived and/or engaged in the sex industry.

Ages: 12-65, majority of clients 21-55 years old

Language: English, Spanish Interpreter available

Genders: All, majority: Female, Femme, and gender variant

Concerns: Historical and current trauma mostly interpersonal, anxiety and depression, Identity concerns (LGBTQ+, PoC and other Minority Stress)

I’m a trans-identified provider who works with all ages. Primarily my work is with transgender folx, but I also see non-monogamous and poly clients of all gender identities and sexual orientations. I’m trained in EMDR for trauma recovery work. I provide video therapy for those outside of the Towson/Baltimore area in the state of MD. I’m out of network with insurance and offer claim forms for reimbursement. I have limited low fee spots for trans folx of color and you can ask if there is an opening for this.

I focus on individual and couples therapy with adult clients. Sessions provide the tools for couples to form a deeper connection, replace unhelpful communication patterns, repair from conflict, and increase intimacy. I am LGTBQ+ affirming, sex positive, and welcoming of all relationship types including consesual non-monogamy and polyamory. I am trained in Gottman Marital Therapy and in PACT concepts and methods.

My intention is to create a powerful therapeutic relationship between myself and my clients. I know that struggling with sexuality issues can often lead to feelings of shame or embarrassment. I see our sexualities as one of the most diverse and unique parts of ourselves. I believe that difference does not equal disorder, and being “normal” is often not the goal.

I work primarily with adolescents and adults and lead groups with a focus around relationship dynamics and family systems. I am also pursuing my certification in sex therapy and sexuality education. I work from a systemic lens meaning I believe that our issues are much bigger than us as individuals, but also as people in relationships with others and the world around us.

I am poly/open and kink knowledgeable and have experience in working with non-traditional relationship dynamics, LGBTQIA2+ issues, individual metal health issues, and couples & families relationship issues. I hope to create a therapeutic space where it is welcomed to step into authenticity without fear of being shamed or judged.

Ted Helm has been practicing psychotherapy since 1999. I work with adult individuals, and have experience in poly, kink, trans*, gamer, and other communities that tend to have poly connections. I graduated from Smith College SSW, training in New Mexico and Boston. After several years working at a small non-profit psychiatric clinic practicing therapy, directing programs, and supervising trainees, I moved to a private practice in 2009. I also volunteer as a psychiatric evaluator for folks seeking asylum into the US.

When I am not practicing therapy, I also work as a professional chef.

I am a medical licensed clinical social worker who uses a brain-based approach to looking at how our past has impacted our bodies, our brains, guided our minds and influenced our relationships with ourselves and others. My approach looks at bridging the science of the brain and body with the mental health of the conscious and unconscious mind. My goal is to provide education and present tools and techniques that are used to change or re-train the brain to facilitate and support healing your body, mind and improving your quality of life. We will develop goals that use a variety of strategies specific to your needs and wants. I work with individual clients 18-100+. I am current only accepting private pay.

Relationships and intimacy require work and attention – as an experienced counselor, I’d like to help you with that work, building a road to a more fulfilled life.

Thomas Wood, LSW, M.Ed, provides therapeutic services to the Wilmington, DE, Philadelphia, PA, and lower Pennsylvania areas through his offices in Center City, Philadelphia and Concordville, Pennsylvania. He is a trained sex therapist as well as a competent counselor in the areas of depression, anxiety, and life-crisis. He is committed to helping you find relief for your personal concerns. Sex therapy can be for anyone, of any orientation in any relationship structure. The only requirement is that there is a sense of committment and motivation to improve the quality of the intimacy.

I have worked with clients of all ages and have effectively helped clients find relief from issues such as depression, sexual issues, anxiety, PTSD and communication difficulties.

I also have a great deal of experience working with people suffering from trauma. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities including contextual family therapy, CBT, DBT, trauma-informed visualization, EMDR but, overall, create a unique treatment plan to incorporate what works best for my clients.

I have over 20 years experience counseling people in polyamorous relationships of all types. I believe everyone has both the right and the creative potential to co-create relationships that work for them. Bucking social norms can take courage. I offer support and the benefit of experience. I can help you learn to deal with jealousy, integrity, anger and fear as you work toward realizing your vision of relationship. - Does online consultation - Does phone consultation

I work with partners and individuals to improve communication and change patterns of behaviour. My approach to working with romantic relationships focuses on building communication and connection. When partners are able to communicate truthfully and listen attentively, it facilitates a connection that makes the hardships of life easier to bear. Partners will often end up in habitual patterns of interaction that leave everyone feeling frustrated and unfulfilled. The restorative process starts by hearing what each of you would like to be different in your relationship then exploring where these interactional patterns inhibit that goal. We will discuss what good communication looks like for all of you, and how you each need to speak so others can hear. You can try these new communication styles both inside and outside of sessions. As you practice changing how you communicate, the emotional landscape of your relationship may shift and grow. People often reconnect to the deep love they feel for their partner, and use this solid foundation to build a new future. Sessions are available both online and in person.
