The number of polyamory, LGBTQIA and kink friendly therapists is increasing, hopefully eclipsing decades of shame inflicted by the mental health professions. We are in a time where relationship structures and gender are being redefined. People are experimenting with their attachments and desires. Over my near 20 years of licensed practice, I’ve worked with many types of poly development presented by clients: monogamies that want to open, or close, or repair the pain caused by either move; advanced poly relationships involving six adults and multiple contracts; cheating monogamists hoping to reset using polyamory best practices, and more. With lengthy training in a rigorous, integrated sex-positive relationship therapy model, my clients’ relational, erotic/sexual and gender diversity is treated with a clear approach which understands the fundamental drive wheels of all choice-based relationships.
