Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

Hi, I’m Beth. I offer individual therapy and relationship counseling for friends, families, couples, and polycules. I take a trauma-informed approach that situates you as the expert in your own life. I honor the courage it takes to enter into therapy with competence and non-judgment. I would be honored to support you and your relationships.

Professional specialties and skills: I specialize in somatic therapy, effective communication, and relationships with self, others, and community. I also bring elements of nature into my work whenever possible.

Language(s) spoken: English

Populations served - ages, concerns, etc.: I work with people ages 12+.

I’m Betsy Gilpin, LCPC, LCMHC, a trauma-informed therapist offering kink-affirming and polyamory-friendly therapy for adults in Holly Springs, NC and virtually across North Carolina and Illinois. I work with individuals and partners navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, relationship dynamics, and the unique challenges that can come with consensual non-monogamy and alternative relationship structures.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware adults who are tired of feeling misunderstood in traditional therapy spaces. You may be navigating communication struggles, jealousy, boundaries, or the impact of past trauma on your relationships. You might also be holding the weight of stigma, masking parts of yourself, or questioning how to fully show up as your authentic self.

My approach is sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and grounded in respect, curiosity, and collaboration. I integrate evidence-based therapies like EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help you process past experiences, regulate your nervous system, and create meaningful, lasting change—without judgment or shame.

I offer both ongoing therapy and therapy intensives, providing flexible options for deeper, focused work. Whether you’re exploring your identity, strengthening your relationships, or healing from past experiences, therapy can be a space where all parts of you are welcome.

I am experienced in supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship issues, trauma, adoption related issues, faith transitions, CNM and other relationship structures, or simply seeking personal growth and self-discovery.

I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life and am comfortable hearing whatever it is you need to say. I am openly queer and polyamorous, and use my experience to offer a safe space for those of marginalized backgrounds. I offer a grounding presence, a space without judgement and tools for you to use in your day-to-day life. I take a direct, relational approach. I will hold you accountable to doing the work with compassion and patience. If you’d like some support, please reach out!

Since 1985 I have worked in the human potential/healthcare field with people in many situations. My initial training was at a buddhist school and since then Jungian analytic and contemporary psychiatric training have also been very influential to how I work. Polyamorous arrangements and sexuality/relatedness issues in general are issues which come up in my practice frequently, as well as other common challenges such as life choices, direction, and transitions, as well as mood, substance use, spirituality, attention and mindfulness, anxiety, and the like. I am happy to talk initially briefly by phone if you like to see if an initial meeting might make sense and be possible. Sliding fee scale; flexible payment arrangements possible; many insurances accepted; out-of-network coverage likely for others.

I understand the importance of finding a therapist who will not pathologize your kinks and fetishes, your Poly or BDSM relationships, or your celibacy or asexuality. I work from a foundation of compassion, and my top priority is providing a safe place to explore yourself and to facilitate personal growth and change. I will assist you in developing a new awareness of yourself, your relationships, and how your life experiences have helped to make you who you are. I will also help you develop new and healthier ways of seeing yourself and your relationships in alignment with your own values and goals. - Does phone and online consultation.

Service all ages. LGBTGEQIAP+, Polyamorous relationship and family systems, and CNM/ENM are populations that I love to work with. Kink knowledgeable and sex positive. ENM Lv1 completion (Martha Kauppi) Inclusive and affirming environment.

Therapeutic Philosophy & Process - My therapeutic philosophy is based on the principle that the relationship between the counsellor and the patient is essential to work that feels sustaining and supportive. I draw from many places to support my practice, including clinical evidence-based modalities (such as Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, or EMDR), community care, and individual and collective experience. As a social worker, my praxis is based on principles of social justice and systems theories rather than the psychological model of individualizing and medicalizing interconnected human experiences. I work with patients in a collaborative nature, recognizing that the patient is the expert of themselves and my role is one of artificial “power-over”; I strive to renegotiate those hierarchies and co-create a relationship based on “power-with”. In couples and relational therapy, I am committed to creating a safe and affirming space for all relationships, including Queer relationships, non-monogamous partnerships, and those exploring or well versed in kink. My approach is grounded in a social work perspective, emphasizing inclusivity, social justice, and the importance of understanding the broader social and cultural contexts that impact relationships. My role is to help you explore your relationship(s) in a way that honors your identities, desires, and boundaries. Sexual health and wellness are crucial components of a fulfilling relationship. I work with couples to enhance their sexual connection, address any challenges, and empower each partner to express their sexual needs and preferences openly and without judgment. I work with people aged 18 and older.

**Clinical areas of interest do not imply specialized certification or formal specialization in every category. In some areas, I do have additional training and experience; in others, these interests reflect the kinds of patients and concerns I’ve worked with meaningfully and am interested in continuing to work with. These areas are meant to offer transparency about fit and focus—not to suggest narrow scope or exclusivity.

I offer a therapeutic approach to working with individuals, couples, polycules, and families to enhance communication, boundaries, and goals. I do not view therapy as a one size fits all model, and generally focus on offering person-centered care. My approach to working with clients is creative and collaborative.

I provide individual and relationship therapy for adults and partners, including those in polyamorous and consensually non-monogamous relationships. My professional specialties include grief and loss, trauma and complex trauma, attachment concerns, anxiety, identity exploration, and relationship dynamics. I work from an affirming, trauma-informed, and relational lens.

I serve adults (18+) across diverse identities and relationship structures, including LGBTQIA+ individuals and partners. Sessions are offered in English.

The nature of life is to grow. We honor this most fundamental law of nature through our relationships. But without this understanding in relationship situations, we wrongly mistake the impulse to grow as a problem, rooted in past fearful memories, projected into an imagined future. Having the knowledge, tools and courage to own our individual interior reality, is imperative for healthy relationships. Learn how to love and support one another in staying identified with the Self, making peace with and resolving Egoic fears, and consciously create the loving relationships you deserve. I have been a Psychotherapist for ten years and practicing polyamory for five. I provide a free short phone consultation for prospective clients. I also offer Relationship Coaching, Parenting Education and Support, and Introductory Meditation Instruction.

I provide secure telehealth therapy for adults, couples, and polycules across California. I work with people navigating polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, open relationships, relationship anarchy, and other consensual non-monogamous relationship structures.

I live openly as polyamorous, and I bring a non-pathologizing but honest approach to this work. Polyamory or ENM is not treated as the problem. At the same time, therapy can be a place to look carefully at what is working, what is hurting, what needs repair, and what may need to change.

Common areas of focus include:

• jealousy, insecurity, and “wobbles”
• communication and conflict
• relationship agreements and ruptures
• safer sex boundaries and disclosure
• hierarchy, couple privilege, and secondary-partner pain
• dating while partnered, nested, married, or parenting
• outness, privacy, and visibility
• de-escalation, breakups, and relationship grief
• polycule dynamics and repair
• questions about whether a current structure still fits

My approach is relational, systems-informed, thoughtful, and engaged. I help clients slow down enough to understand what is happening, clarify boundaries, notice patterns, and make more intentional choices. I am not here to push a particular relationship model. The goal is to help you better understand what is true, workable, ethical, and sustainable for your life and relationships.

I also have a focused practice supporting Jewish clients navigating antisemitism, identity, belonging, safety, and community. For clients at the intersection of Jewish life and ENM/polyamory, therapy may also include questions about family, community visibility, religious or cultural belonging, political tension, safety, and what it means to build relationships that are both honest and livable.

I work with adults, couples, and polycules. Sessions are offered by telehealth for clients located anywhere in California.

If you’re looking for therapy with someone who understands polyamory and ENM from both lived and clinical perspectives, you’re welcome to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see whether working together feels like a good fit.

We all carry pain. This pain can come from many places. For many of us as queer people, it may come from navigating the world with one or more stigmatized identities, or simply from our broader lived experiences. I see therapy as an opportunity to understand and connect to your inner self, your identities, and your pain. I aim for you to feel seen, heard, and held, and for you to see that you, with all your complexities and pain, are whole and enough, just as you are. We will attend to areas of struggle and celebrate your already existing areas of strength. In this way, we can work together to ease the burden of the pain you carry and find relief and healing. To feel joy, as well as pain, is our humanity.

The central tenet of my approach to our work together is mutual curiosity. Together, you and I will co-create a space where you can gain a better understanding of all the different parts of you, where you can discover and grow, and unlearn and shed those things which may not suit your growth, and where you can be both held and challenged with care and compassion.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I pull from different lenses depending on what feels most helpful in the moment. We can utilize a psychodynamic approach to understand how your past experiences may impact you in the present, a cognitive behavioral approach to build awareness around and change unconscious thought patterns that no longer serve you, or a systems approach to acknowledge the impact family, cultural, and institutional systems may have on your life. Overlaying all this, I approach our work together with authenticity, humor, and warmth.

Tapping into the vulnerability therapy requires isn’t easy, but you are here, already having taken the first huge step in this process. Good for you. Let’s explore together.

My goal as a clinical psychologist is to help motivated adults to identify what they want out of life, figure out what’s getting in their way, and overcome those obstacles to achieve the lives they want. I am particularly interested in working with clients in the kink and polyamory communities, as well as the wider geeky/nerdy communities with which those often overlap. Whatever you’re into, chances are I’ve heard of it, I won’t be shocked by it, and I won’t leap to conclusions about you based on it. I work with adults of all ages and genders (I identify as male myself). For more information, please see my practice website and/or call or email to set up an initial appointment. Your initial contact will be received by my colleague, Dr. Sarah Gray, who can discuss payment options and other issues and schedule an initial appointment with me. She will ask for some information about your therapy goals, but it is perfectly acceptable to wait to share information about your sexuality (if you so choose) until you have had a chance to meet and get comfortable with your therapist. Note: currently all therapy is remote; remote therapy will likely remain available even once in-person sessions resume.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years experience working with adults and couples. I utilize an eclectic mix of therapies, with a strong basis in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and strengths based theories.

I specialize in working with Gender Non-conforming individuals and relationships and polyamorous relationships. I also specialize in working with individuals who are Autistic or ADHD. I work with individuals 18+. Provide Virtual therapy only.

All therapists at Sundew Therapy and Wellness are committed to helping you find ways to feel supported and celebrated in your diverse identities, expressions and relationships!

I am available to meet with clients in-person at my office in Newark, Delaware and virtually through a secure telehealth platform.

The foundation of my therapy is to create a safe, non-judgemental space for the client to discover their inherent wisdom and healing potential. The relationships I build with clients are based on empathy and respect for the client’s unique process. The human self is not a static entity. We are always unfolding and becoming, in each moment.

Sometimes, trauma cuts us off from this process of unfolding. Many of us have learned maladaptive coping strategies in response to traumatic environments. Later in life, this may lead us to become “stuck” in self-destructive habits or unhealthy relationships. We may hold trauma in the body, which keeps us constricted and disconnected from the world around us.

I focus on empowering clients to break out of those patterns and live fuller lives.

I help clients develop skills to manage overwhelming emotions, through mindfulness, self-care and nurturing connections with others. My goal is not just to provide tools for clients to manage problems, but rather, to help them develop an internal sense of strength and resiliency.

My primary focus, in therapy, is on the here-and-now. I use techniques of mindfulness and body awareness to deepen understanding of emotions, and how they affect human connection in the present moment. I also teach meditation practices for relaxation and anxiety management. These may include breathing and visualization exercises. I work with clients to discover meditation practices that suit their unique needs.

I have a background in both Transpersonal and Existential psychotherapy. I support the client’s freedom to find their own source of meaning in their lives. I honor each client’s unique spiritual path, and create safe space for diverse religious traditions. I collaborate with clients to create their own rituals to honor life transitions, empower themselves, process grief and move beyond trauma. I have a real passion for exploring dreams with clients, drawing influence from both Gestalt and Jungian dream work.

I specialize in working with the LGBT and Poly community. I work with individuals of all genders and sexual orientations.
