I specialize in helping individuals and partners navigate the extra something that makes their relationship(s) a unique challenge. Folks I work with are often loving outside of the cisheteronormative & mononormative structure such as ethical non-monogamy, kink/BDSM, or other LGBTQ2S+ relationships. I also work with people whose experience of the world may be impacting their relationships, such as folks who are neurodivergent, individuals living with disability, or folks for whom trauma is showing up. I strive to help folks design the intentional relationships they are struggling to create on their own.
What we’ll work on together is understanding how the particulars of your life intersect with your relationship and shape your needs, communication, and boundaries. We will begin a dialogue about the intersection of the relationship(s) and the condition(s)/context(s) which can help to improve the level of understanding and empathy in the relationship.
I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation if you wish to learn more about how we can best address your specific needs and to help you determine whether I would be a good person to collaborate with on your journey.

62 ROSLYN ROAD, WINNIPEG, MANITOBA R3L 0G6 CANADA
Sexuality is one of the core components of human existence. Human sexuality embraces our identity, mind, body, gender and attractions. Our sexuality is guided and influenced by our relationships, culture, awareness, values and spirit, and can shift and evolve at any given time.
Many of us have unaddressed sexual questions and concerns. For some, these questions are simply too uncomfortable or embarassing to explore. For others, their concerns are overshadowed by negative messages that have created shame, fear and guilt. These, compounded by the many issues we face in our daily lives - work, school, children, relationship conflicts, stress, social pressures, etc. have created barriers to having a healthy sexuality.
Your sexuality and sexual health is a priority. Together we will work to resolve your concerns, have your questions answered, and enrich your sexual and intimacy experiences.

Becoming a therapist has been an intentional journey that is the direct result of a desire to collaboratively facilitate healing in myself and those around me. It is difficult to be in the world right now and experiencing disconnection from ourselves and others can contribute to overall feelings of isolation and ‘stuckness’.

Hello, I’m Marla, a counsellor, coach, and facilitator. I’ve been designing and leading workshops about diversity, sexuality and relationships for 10 years. I have since expanded my practice to include relationship coaching and sex-positive therapy for individuals, couples, and constellations* of people engaged in a wide range of relationship formations.
My professional aim is to offer accessible, wholistic, non-judgmental services to people from diverse backgrounds and identities. My work is informed by anti-oppression, anti-racist, feminist, and harm-reduction philosophies. I aim to co-create respectful, safer spaces where peoples’ identities are understood within the framework of their own life experiences and social context.
My approach varies depending on the unique relationships and needs of the person/people who collaborate with me. I tend to begin with a relational/talk-based style and incorporate alternative techniques when applicable.
The best way to get a feel for my style is to call or message me for a free consultation: connect@marlaschreiber.com (514) 714-3675
We might be a good fit if you’re looking for support in the areas of:
Relationships
Polyamory
Consensual non-monogamy
Sexuality
Intimacy
Identity
Kink/BDSM

Addictions
I am bilingual in English and French but have been working primarily in English for the last 5 years. I can offer French services for those who have minimal abilities in English so we can switch between languages in Montreal’s FrEnglish fashion.
Constellations refer to romantic and/or sexual relationship formations of more than 2 people.
“Coming out” is a term that is often used to describe the process of beginning to share one’s sexual orientation with others. For those who are undergoing gender transformations, or people engaged in non-traditional relationship formations, “coming out” can be a similar process of sharing intimate parts of one’s private life with others.
“Coming out” is often mistaken for something that happens once but can actually be a very complicated process for some, taking place over a long period of time. Some might say that “coming out” happens regularly throughout the lifespan.

I work with poly individuals and couples, or throuples, from both straight and queer-identified communities. I prioritize poly clients in my practice because it can be difficult to connect to a poly-positive therapist, even in a big city like Toronto.
My work is informed by anti-oppression training and guided by adult-attachment theory. I practice Emotionally Focused Therapy with couples and throuples; by building stronger connections between them, issues and concerns are often resolved.
With individuals, my work remains relational. I draw from a variety of modalities to help folks identify and communicate their needs, determine their boundaries and provide insight into the dynamics of their relationships.

If you’re currently in an ethically non-monogamous relationship, it’s quite likely that you’ve been on quite a journey already. Pulling yourself loose from the world’s one-dimensional narrative on love, and instead defining your own rules isn’t always easy. I celebrate you in your courage, and understand how important it is to have a therapist who is able to relate. My stance and philosophy are explicitly inclusive, regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual expression, or the way you want to shape your relationship.
Most of my clients are aged 20-45 and all find relief in the safety, warmth and openness that we create together in our sessions.
I’m a psychologist trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and specialize in relationship therapy. EFT is an empirically validated method based on attachment theory, with the best results of any couple therapy currently out there. It can be successfully applied to polyamorous relationships. I also provide individual therapy to those who seek to regain balance, clarity, and a renewed sense of inner peace.
Fluent in English and Dutch, I offer both in-person sessions in Amsterdam and online sessions. Feel free to check out my website anlacan.com for advice on my blog, or to schedule a free introductory meeting!

I completed degrees in science and philosophy before qualifying as a counsellor, and I combine the analytic strength of these disciplines with the warmth of humanistic therapy. Following the person-centred approach, I believe that every person has the capacity within themselves for growth and healing. My job is to provide an empathetic and supportive environment for that capacity to unfold. My work is also influenced by cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), meaning that I help clients explore the unstated, often unhelpful, assumptions behind their responses to challenging situations. I also draw from various other theories and methods, including existential psychotherapy, transactional analysis, and mindfulness practices. I have read very broadly, within psychotherapy and related disciplines, and try to offer whatever I think would be helpful to each client as an individual without ever being prescriptive.
I have had a varied career, and I believe that familiarity with the variety of human experience is one of my great strengths as a therapist. I approach each client with warmth, an open mind, and a sense of their unique perspective on the world. I particularly welcome inquiries from clients who may worry about judgement or misunderstanding. This includes people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual or otherwise embody gender, romantic and sexual diversity; people in non-monogamous relationships, who participate in BDSM, do any form of sex work, who use psychoactive drugs, belong to other minority groups, or who otherwise feel marginalised or under-served by the counselling profession.
My practice is based in South East London, and I try to offer flexible arrangements. I work both short- and long-term, and offer online session in addition to face-to-face. Please get in touch if you have any access needs or questions!

My specialties include conflict; self-esteem, issues relating to sexuality, parenting, anxiety and trauma.
I trained at ProcessworkUK, and have 10 years experience of seeing clients. I work with individuals, couples, thruples and polycules as well as groups. My practice is sex positive, trauma informed and works with the body, the mind and the heart. I’m also sex critical- sex can be wonderful or horrible, however it is not the be all and end all. As a process-oriented practitioner I tailor sessions to you and what is happening- it may be more linear and involve talking and coaching or we will explore your dreams or work with your body. I’m deeply passionate about working with people and cherish the beautiful diversity of both humans and nature ore briadly. I’m not just interested in"fixing" things but also in engaging with the creativity of the challenges you face. I’m a cis queer white woman, aware of the privilege and challenges that this brings to my perspective. Im a mother of a mixed race child and am engaged around issues of racism, white privilege and parenting. I run a group for mothers local and am setting up a monthly sex conversations group in Stroud. I also work in corporate settings where I deliver very practice-oriented conflict facilitation and leadership trainings.
182A LONDON RD, OFF VICTORIA TERRACE, LEICESTER, LE2 1ND, GB
As a therapist I believe that you have the power and knowledge within you to help with the problems you are experiencing; to heal and to grow. As a practitioner I make a commitment to you to help and support you with what you bring to me. To do this I use my experience and understanding to support you in a way which is open, non-judgmental, focused on your issues and as real and human as possible.
I believe therapy is about your felt experience inside and outside of the therapy room, rather than about cognitive interpretations of your past and behaviour.
Through effective therapy we can become more able to accept and respond flexibly to our feelings, relationships and circumstances.
I work with a wide variety of people including LGBTQ+ individuals and their family members; people with or supporting people with disabilities and long term health conditions; people experiencing difficulties or abuse in their relationships
As well as working with adults I am also experienced working with children and using play and art in therapeutic work.
I offer sessions online (e.g. Skype, Zoom) as well as in person. As well as working in a typical counselling room I also offer sessions in natural spaces.
BRISTOL, UNITED KINGDOM
I believe a welcoming, safe, and supportive therapeutic environment is the key to emotional healing and personal growth. Working together, we will make sense of whatever has become a problem for you in the ‘here and now’ or enduring issues with their roots in the past. My hope is you will not only gain clarity and insight but know you have been understood in the context of your history, gender, sexuality and culture. I believe often when we are faced with fears linked to uncertainty, uncontrollability and unpredictability or feeling hopeless about the future, counselling/psychotherapy can support us to make a lasting change.
Integrative Psychotherapist framework draws from CBT and Psychodynamic modalities. I work with Adults 18+ on Anxiety and Depression

4 CHAPEL LANE, WILMSLOW, CHESHIRE, SK9 5HX, GB
I draw on personal and professional experience in working therapeutically with diverse sexualities, including: individuals that may identify as LGBTQIA, poly/ ethically non-monogamous. I have completed training with Pink Therapy on working with Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) as a GSRD identified clinician. The main approach that I work with is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical approach which focuses on changing problematic thinking styles and behaviour patterns through the use of solutions, tools and techniques. If you are hoping to make changes fairly quickly and acquire direct solutions to your difficulties then CBT is a great option: most clients notice a change within six sessions and are able to see significant improvements within 10-12 sessions. My previous experience includes working for the NHS alongside private practice.
I am experienced in treating various presentations including: Depression, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Health Anxiety, Phobias, OCD, Social Anxiety, Body Dysmorphia, Perfectionism, Low self- esteem, PTSD, Trauma, Relationship difficulties and also Long-Term Physical Health Conditions. I utilise a transdiagnostic approach, integrating CBT models and formulations with processes that occur across disorders. This for example includes working with processes such as and Rumination and Intolerance of Uncertainty as well as painful emotions such as Shame and Guilt. Further to this, I have found it effective to incorporate third wave approaches such as Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness and Distress Tolerance Skills into my clinical work. Central within my practice is the belief that effective therapy is flexible and able to address the unique difficulties that individuals present. I am interested in how dominant discourses can shape people’s lives in destructive ways. This includes, experiences of oppression, shame and identity. In the context of therapy this can mean exploring stories of the self, helping individuals externalise their difficulties and co-authoring new narratives.
I am based in South and Central Cambridge and am also able to offer sessions and via the telephone.
TRUMPINGTON AND MILL ROAD, CAMBRIDGE
I take a pluralistic approach to psychotherapy, focusing first and foremost on the problems that a client brings to counselling and how they would like to address these. I specialize in working with gender and sexual minority clients and people involved in BDSM and/or polyamorous relationships. I’m passionate about helping people to create the relationships they want, whether that is rebuilding and repairing trust, opening up or closing their relationships.
Integrity, honesty and compassion are the cornerstones of my practice. My work as a coach supports people in customizing their relationships and attending to the needs, desires and boundaries of everyone involved. Most of my work is online, using Skype, FaceTime or Zoom. I am open to working by email or chat for clients that prefer these methods of communication.
I offer dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) skills groups tailored to consensually non monogamous clients. These groups are all about learning skills that help with building relationships and coping with difficult emotions. You can find out more here: https://loveuncommon.com/dbt-for-non-monogamy/
ONLINE, MOSTLY WORKING WITH CLIENTS IN THE UK AND IRELAND
I completed my core training at The Minster Centre and hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, a BACP accredited course. Integrative therapy draws on multiple approaches and theories, and my way of working has been particularly shaped by relational psychotherapy and attachment theory. This means I believe that the relationships we experience in our early lives affect our later ways of relating to both ourselves and others. I believe that therapy is a fundamentally relational endeavour - not that people are broken and therefore need to be “fixed” - but rather that through working together we can come to new ways of relating, understanding and being. I try to cultivate a warm, open and non-judgemental space for you to explore yourself and your issues in. In addition, I hold a Graduate Certificate in Gender & Sexuality Studies from Birkbeck University. I am experienced in working with issues to do with gender and sexuality, relationship diversity (polyamory, non-monogamy etc) and provide an LGBTQ+ affirmative practice, but welcome clients from all backgrounds. I am mindful of the social, cultural and structural issues involved in the difficulties we face as individuals.
I believe that therapy can help with so many issues, whether they feel vague or specific, and allow us to come to a better understanding of ourselves and our histories so we can live fuller, more authentic lives.
I work online via Zoom, so welcome clients from any location.

TELEHEALTH REMOTE. I SEE CLIENTS IN CA AND WA
I provide therapeutic treatment for individuals, couples, and groups facing seeming impasses and resulting physical and emotional symptoms. I have specialized training in trauma and work with survivors, to uncover missed experiences and process traumatic happenings that may have previously left an imprint within the nervous system. With couples managing trauma, we look for new ways to improve capacities to maintain regulation and find ease in the relationship. In therapy we will collaboratively honor the lengths taken to survive our experiences and work to pave a path to thriving.
My approach is mindful and dialogic. I encourage exploration and have a knack for helping smart people move passed self-limiting thoughts and behaviours. As a practicing Buddhist and a yogi there is a transpersonal bend to the space I hold, but I do not push nor promote any schools of thought. I pride myself on upholding a level of cultural competence I feel necessary to facilitate change in community and growth in therapy. My practice is open, accepting, poly-versed, kink aware, and LGBTQIA+ affirming.
As a somatic clinician, I am sensitive not only to the cultural influences in our bones, but to the unique neurobiological and psychosocial makeup that is you. Therapy with me is gentle yet rigorous. I work at your pace yet hold in mind always treatment goals brought to me and my responsibility to you as a helping other. With whole systems care at heart, I have a holistic approach to wellness. In session I draw upon traditional psychodynamic and eastern philosophies and practices as well as current somatic science and contemporary treatment modalities such as: Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Fusion Acupressure, Formative Psychology, Yoga Therapeutics, Hakomi, AEDP, EFT, and PACT.

My intentions are to give you a safe place to express your unique erotic self, listen without judging you (sex-positive perspective) and offer you the latest in research-based treatment options.
I have the extensive training, experience and comfort in understanding the important issues of alternate relationships.
I am welcoming and affirming of all sexual expressions, regardless of your sexual interests and orientation (straight, gay, bisexual, intersex, polyamory, fetishist, BDSM, disabled, kink, mature, young, etc.
With my background in sexology, sexual healing and various sexual and erotic lifestyles, I brings an unbiased perspective on any erotic topic you may bring up.
I believe that men AND women can have lifelong, satisfying sex lives.
I offer a unique perspective, intimately understanding polyamory, the challenges of long term relationships, and desire differences between couples.
As a researcher and clinician I offer research-based treatment options customized to the needs of the experienced and not so experienced.
I’m a fountain of information. Over the past 25 years, I have amassed extensive resources on factual information and sexual mythology, and am a part of a large network of helping professionals. - Does online consultation - Does phone consultation

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 have been in Private Practice for 20 years- and worked for UCSF Alliance Health Project for 27.
I have extensive experience working with past and present trauma/abuse issues, substance abuse, grief, attachment, stages of life challenges, gender identity and sexual orientation issues.
I work with clients who have experienced trauma, including violent crime as well as Returning Troops/Veterans-Warriors and their families.
I also assist clients with concerns related to alternative lifestyles, gender expression, sexuality, BD/SM/Ds, sex work, leather and ‘kink’ lifestyles. I provide a safe and professional place for people to further explore these and other issues in their lives. I work with clients on entire spectrum of Gender Identity. I worked in collaboration with Medical Providers for references, referrals and letters of support for Gender related medical services.
My clinical approach is a combination of ‘Psychodynamic" (often exploring current issues in connection with early childhood experiences) and “Cognitive-Behavioral” (exploring the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors).
