I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Berkeley, California. No matter where you are coming from, or what your lifestyle is, I create a warm, accepting space for you to work on your problems. Sometimes those problems are obvious, such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or trauma. Sometimes they are more subtle, such a feeling that “something is wrong” or that “I wish I could be happier but don’t know how.” I use a variety of supportive, compassionate therapy techniques to help you get the healing you want.
I work with Polyamorous relationships in all configurations, as well as sexual minorities of all kinds including trans, queer, kink and intersex.
Call (510) 771-7760 for a free, confidential consultation.
And, if you are suffering from trauma or have gone through any kind of troubling experience, such as abuse or PTSD, I offer powerful, proven techniques such as EMDR (Google it!) and hypnotherapy that can eliminate disturbing and intrusive thoughts, flashbacks and repetitive memories. These techniques can help you with sleep, anxiety and depression. After engaging in counseling with me, many clients feel they get their lives back! - Does phone consultation

I specialize in personal growth and development coaching for queer or polyamorous humans. I developed the BRACE method for creating and sustaining empowered interpersonal connections.
Using the BRACE method I help my clients in breaking toxic cycles and healing relationship wounds. My clients relish the permission to fully explore, embrace, and trust their authentic self-sometimes for the first time ever. This results in living a more intentional life; empowered and confident to make informed decisions rooted in higher standards.

The world-wide expert on polyamorous families with children, Dr. Sheff provides expert witness services, writing and academic consulting, and relationship coaching. An expert in families of sex and gender minorities, Sheff can conduct interviews, review documents or reports, and provide assessments that distinguish between families that are merely unconventional and those that are truly problematic. Sheff can advise lawyers, prepare statements and court briefs, and provide testimony.

Using her extensive knowledge of polyamory and kink/BDSM, Sheff provides one-time relationship consultations for those who wonder how polyamory or kink might impact their lives and ongoing coaching for those who are seeking an external perspective and strategies to deal with jealousy, set realistic boundaries, deal with conflict, and improve communication skills. Dr. Sheff can meet with you in person when possible, via telephone, or Skype.
From universities to MeetUps and Cons, Dr. Sheff speaks to groups and organizations about sex and gender diversity, and how it relates to families, health, and laws. Sheff has provided keynote addresses at InfinityCon and Atlanta Poly Weekend, and presented at conferences from the American Psychiatric Association to the National Council on Family Relations as well as conventions like DragonCon and Frolicon.

I am a mental health support counsellor (pronouns she/her) with specialization in Trauma, Bereavement and Relationship counselling. I work with people whose practices and preferences are often judged, such as those in open/polyamorous relationships, practicing BDSM, sex workers etc. I offer a supportive space in which to address life’s difficulties.
I provide online sessions, and my sessions are not fixed length. The opportunity to have longer sessions has been invaluable to many of my clients. I also do my best to be informed of the differences in how people experience the world in order to be accessible to and supportive of my neurodivergent clients.
My practice focuses on building personal agency to give people more control over their lives and relationships.

Surrogate partner therapy is a somatic form of therapy designed to increase a client’s capacity for emotional and physical intimacy. It was developed by Masters and Johnson in the 1970s and uses evidence-based research to overcome challenges related to intimacy, touch, and sexuality. The client forms a therapeutic relationship with the surrogate partner to develop the skills to form a relationship with a partner out in the real world. The therapy proceeds at a pace friendly to each client’s needs. This experiential learning is divided into phases designed to build self-awareness and resolve deeply-ingrained issues surrounding relationships, intimacy, and sexuality. Emily works with a supervising licensed therapist and accepts clients of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship modalities.
