In a dream I was asked, What is it you do? I replied, I am a life saver for human souls. At the time I was working in community mental health and teaching yoga. Since then I have trained as a professional massage therapist. I still have no better answer. I believe that health of mind, body and soul are integral to us all. We each need touch, freedom to move our bodies, and companions who hear us and recognize our potential as human beings, in order to navigate this ocean of life. I offer individual, couple and group psychotherapy (talk therapy) with a focus on working with people who are part of the open-relationship, polyamory and alternative sexuality communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. Additionally I have a practice providing therapeutic massage and individual and small-group yoga instruction. Presenting this information together here speaks to my holistic approach, however if you see me for talk therapy this means that you cannot also see me for massage or yoga instruction, because the ethical standards of Clinical Psychology prohibit having multiple relations with a client.

I offer individual therapy, as well as some family therapy for children and their guardians. I do not currently work with couples/relationships. I am able to provide letters of support for gender-affirming care.

Populations served - ages, concerns, etc: Adolescents (13+), Adults, Seniors; I primarily work with the LGBTQ+ community, particularly with the transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive community.

The mission of Choices Counseling and Consulting is the providing competent psychotherapeutic care to all individuals and families.All associates at Choices are trained in general psychotherapy and family therapy, holding Master’s degrees in Social Work or Psychology. We are skilled in traditional psychotherapeutic modalities, as well as holistic and psychospiritual approaches. Although individual practitioners have different training and focus, associates all work within a feminist and family systems framework, with additional specialization in various other modalities. We work with families, couples, children, and youth.

In addition to general training in psychology, the staff at Choices specializes in issues related to sexual orientation, sexuality, and gender identity and expression. Our focus always begins with respect to people’s unique racial, ethnic, cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and dis/abilities. Our clinicians draw from training and therapeutic skills that recognize, validate, and celebrate diversity as a means to create safe and welcoming spaces for all persons. Understanding that each of these aspects of identity exists on a spectrum, we affirm and respect every client’s right to self-identify and authenticity.

Choices welcomes all individuals and couples, including those who are lesbian and gay and bisexual or queer. We work with transgender people, including gender non-conforming children and youth, and gender-queer identified. Additionally, we offer culturally competent counseling for those who are poly and those who identify with alternative (kink) sexuality.

What is unique about Choices is our commitment to couples and families who are LGBTQ identified. We recognize that diversity among and within families is extremely positive. Family values are at the core of our therapy.

My practice is humanistic, person-centered, and relational. Trauma thrives in isolation and denial, and deep healing happens in relationships. Autonomy and agency are central in our therapeutic relationship. Through sessions, my goal is to help you reconnect with the most authentic version of yourself and free yourself from limiting beliefs that systemic and interpersonal trauma may have placed on you. We will also reconnect with and define your values and inner sense of intuition. There can be a lot of pain and deep contemplation in therapy. There is also profound relief and joy in being seen. Many of us grow up believing that we are unacceptable in some way which can lead to shame and repression. I’m certain that together, we will create greater confidence and joy in your ability to just be. I’m looking forward to speaking with you.

I work with emotional dysregulation, (C)PTSD, insecure attachment styles, perfectionism, guilt/shame, grief, spiritual crises, identity integration, depression, anxiety, and relationship stress. I service individuals with practice kink, ENM/polyamory. I service individuals engaged in sex work. I practice from a feminist, anti-oppressive, and disability justice philosophy.

I am a therapist and writer who is interested in and respectful of relationships, lifestyles and individuals outside of mainstream or prevailing norms. I work online and can meet with people over webcam, via ‘phone, through instant text chat or email exchange.

I’ve trained in a range of approaches but prefer to use narrative and dialogical approaches and to work with people in collaborative ways. My practice is influenced by the work therapists such as Harlene Anderson, Johnella Bird, Michael White, and Art Fisher. I am also interested in reading and editing pieces of writing that assists in the understanding of non-mainstream ways of living and loving particularly those that exist outside of, or challenge, the heteronorm.

I specialise in working with people in non-exclusive and polyamorous relationships, LGBTQ folk, sexuality, concerns about pornography ‘addiction’, ‘sex addiction’ and erectile dysfunction.

Those outside of Australia can make payment for consultations through Paypal in a range of currencies. I work with people all over the world. Contact me now through my website to ask a question or book an appointment.

Services: I am registered Kink-Aware Professional with the NCSF and a Licensed Professional Counselor who provides trauma-informed, sex-positive therapy for the kink, fetish, BDSM, and ethically non-monogamous communities. I work with adults and relational systems of many forms from a trauma-informed, neurodiverse, and attachment-based perspective to address issues such as communication skills, relational change/growth, trauma processing, identity, and more.

Inside all of us is a deep longing to live a rich, full, meaningful life. Yet sometimes it feels like something is in the way. Fear. Anxiety. Pain. That’s where therapy comes in. I am passionate about helping people overcome their fears and live full and values-driven lives. My approach is collaborative, holistic, and always based on cutting-edge psychological research. I provide time-efficient, evidence-based, individualized services, to help you make sustainable changes in your daily routines, your relationship patterns, and your mindset. Some of the approaches I draw from include ACT, CBT, mindfulness, DBT, and exposure therapy. As I am also a certified yoga instructor, I can incorporate gentle movement if requested.

I offer a safe space for exploring issues around sexuality, intimacy, and belonging. I am LGBTQ, Kink, and Poly educated, aware, and friendly. Holding non-judgmental and compassionate space for others is paramount to me in my practice and in my life. All are welcome in my office: every background, worldview, sexual and gender orientation.

I see adults, currently only in individual format. While the focus is on you, we may discuss your partners, metamours, comets, etc. in the context of your growth in treatment, and I can make referrals as needed for adjunct partner/family therapy work, if desired.

The initial phone consultation, where we discuss your needs and determine if I am a good fit for you, is complementary. My rate for a standard 50 minute session is $185. Extended 80 minute sessions are also available for an additional fee. See my website for full descriptions of services and rates. I do not accept insurance or sliding scale at this time, though you may request an invoice to submit as an out of network service to your insurance company.

I have experience providing therapy to individuals and partners seeking sexual and gender identity growth. I provide trauma informed, body, gender and sex positive therapy to folks that identify as LGBTQIPA, kinky, ethically non-monogamous, and sex workers. I am in network with Carefirst/BCBS PPO plans and also offer a limited number of sliding scale sessions

As a therapist and wellness coach, I focus on resilience, balance, and building a life worth living. I have training and experience with topics including gender identity, sexual orientation, sexuality, monogamous and non-monogamous relationship dynamics, polyamorous families, postpartum mental health, aging, spirituality, depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, medical cannabis use, self esteem, and self-care.

I provide individual and relational counseling/coaching for adults from a solution-focused, strength-based, trauma-informed perspective.

As a counselor, I believe that as individuals, we experience life through a lens shaped by many environmental, biological, and societal factors. Through better understanding our experiences and becoming aware of these factors that shaped us, we are able to move forward through life more authentically. I believe that finding meaning in life’s pain can bring great healing and that the broken-ness we feel is indicative of the journey of life. I believe that therapy can be a great tool in discovering one’s potential and uncovering beliefs that are keeping us stuck in the pain. I believe that you are the expert in your life and that you inherently possess the tools needed to become un-stuck.

I work primarily from an existential and person-centered framework and find great power incorporating different techniques and modalities from other theories if/when the situation is right. Throughout my time practicing in various clinical settings, I have worked with a range of individuals with a variety of life concerns including work concerns, interpersonal issues, depression, anxiety, and religious trauma. I am an LGBTQ+ provider and have a deep passion for working with individuals that may be experiencing stressors related to these identities. My hope for our journey together is that you feel supported and empowered to live a life of authenticity.

In my role as a counselor, I aim to provide a safe, accepting environment for my clients to process their experiences. Person-centered, feminist, strength-based, cognitive behavioral, narrative, and solution-focused therapy are some of my favorite approaches. In my sessions, I want to create an environment that is affirming of body positivity, trauma informed, LGBTQIA affirming, kink accepting, and poly affirming.

clinical therapy, serving teens and adults

Hi, I’m Ashley.

I help people navigate their inner parts and ways they show up in their own life, with gentleness and curiosity. I help people find healing through trauma, suicidality, and their LGBTQIA+ identity. I approach sessions with compassion and warmth, while holding the belief that your story is not over, and there is hope to be found.

I am able to meet clients where they are at, and walk with them through the heavy and light parts of being alive. I hold an authentic, honest session that strives to inform, encourage, and support clients through their challenges. I view therapy as a team effort, with the client and I walking together towards their goals. I believe clients are the experts of their lives, and I get the privilege of helping them come home to themselves. I help clients learn to understand their emotions, learn how to show up for themselves authentically, and skills to navigate difficult situations.

I’m trained in EMDR and IFS, two methods utilized for treating trauma. I have worked with individuals across the lifespan, and currently enjoy working with adults.

With a masters of counselling and studying sex therapy, Ashley is experienced and equipped to help individuals, couples, or relationships of more diverse styles (polyamory, open relationships, kink/fetish) with problems of intimacy, anxiety, depression, climate change and health concerns, as well as many others.

Ashley is experienced in providing treatment via a range of modalities such as CBT, ACT, motivational interviewing, defines himself as an eclectic therapist and uses facets from many treatments.

Ashley is also employed in community health and specialises in motivational interviewing practices to treat gambler’s addiction.
