Couples, ENM and Kink-Affirming Therapy

Who We Help

Alternative Lifestyle & Relationship-Affirming Therapy

Our practice supports individuals, couples, and polycules of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship styles—including queer, non-binary, gender-expansive, and alternative-lifestyle communities—as well as couples in more traditional relationships. We provide trauma-informed, affirming therapy for a wide range of relationship structures, including:

• Consensual non-monogamy (ENM) & polyamory

• Kink/BDSM communities and dynamics

• Traditional monogamous relationships

Couples, Thruples, and Polycules in ENM or Alternative Relationships

Whether you are new to ENM, exploring kink dynamics, or have practiced for years, relationship therapy can help you:

• Build better communication and negotiation skills

• Strengthen emotional intimacy and connection

• Navigate conflict resolution

• Explore new relationship or sexual dynamics

• Rebuild trust after challenges

Traditional & Kink-Affirming Couples Therapy

For couples in traditional relationships or those exploring kink/BDSM, we provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to:

• Improve communication and problem-solving skills

• Deepen intimacy, desire, and connection

• Explore boundaries, consent, and sexual expression

• Address stress, trauma, or relational patterns affecting your partnership

Individual Therapy for Relationship & Lifestyle Exploration

Some people benefit from individual therapy before or alongside couples or polycule work. Individual sessions can support you with:

• Anxiety, panic attacks, or stress related to relationships

• Navigating life transitions, new partners, or breakups

• Emotional regulation, trust-building, and attachment work

• Processing sexual trauma, religious trauma, or stigma

• Clarifying personal values around intimacy, sexuality, and relationship style

Group Therapy & Community Support

Navigating ENM, polyamory, or kink can be deeply rewarding—but challenging at times. Our group therapy provides a supportive space for individuals, couples, and polycules to:

• Share experiences and challenges in a safe, affirming environment

• Explore themes like boundaries, jealousy, compersion, and communication

• Learn skills for balancing multiple relationships while maintaining self-care

• Receive guidance from an affirming therapist and peer support

• Build community and reduce isolation that can come from stigma

Whether you are just beginning or have years of experience, group therapy can help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to strengthen your relationships.

Evidence-Based & Holistic Approaches

Sessions typically last 50–60 minutes, and we integrate a variety of evidence-based and holistic approaches to support growth and healing:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): shifting unhelpful thought patterns around jealousy, insecurity, or self-doubt

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): building mindfulness, communication, and emotional regulation skills

• Internal Family Systems (IFS / Parts Work): exploring inner parts that shape relational patterns

• Eye Movement Therapies (EMDR & ART): processing trauma and emotional blocks affecting intimacy and trust

• Somatic Approaches: connecting with the body to release stress and cultivate presence

• Attachment-Based Therapy: strengthening safety, trust, and secure bonds across all relationships

• Plant Medicine Integration Therapy: supporting meaning-making from non-ordinary states and integrating insights into relationships and daily life

We also incorporate brain science and human behavior research to understand relational patterns and foster healthier communication and connection.

Our therapy supports clients in:

• Clarifying needs, boundaries, and relationship agreements

• Navigating jealousy, compersion, kink dynamics, and shifting relationship structures

• Building healthier communication, intimacy, and conflict resolution skills
