California Licensed MFT, Board certified sex therapist, lecturer, author, and former Ask Isadora syndicated sex and relationship advice columnist which appeared in many news weeklies nationwide. For more than 35 years I have specialized in improving relationships, enhancing sexual expression, and communications (with oneself and with others). Traditional arrangements and Non. One time consultations or ongoing solution focused counseling. Adult individuals, couples, and relationship groups.

I work in full 90 minute sessions. I think these sessions of double the customary length of the standard 45 minute “hour” provide the best use of your time and money. I require payment by cash or check at the end of each appointment. Depending on your health coverage you may be able to get partial reimbursement for which I will provide a receipt. There are no long therapy contracts. Your sessions are scheduled as you need them, weekly, monthly or occasionally.

I emphasize problem solving - offering education, tools, techniques and resources. I provide a free online discussion Forum at www.askisadora.com. You can read my essays online on Psychology Today (www.psychologytoday.com/blog/sex-sociability) and see the list of my published books under Publications on my web site.

I work with adult clients, individuals, couples, and complex relationships. I also provide psychotherapeutic support to individuals seeking general counseling, assessments and support for individuals needing letters for medical procedures including gender confirming procedures, weight loss surgeries. I work with clients aged 18 and up and sometimes children aged 15-17 for assessments or in family therapy. My specialties are Queer and Transgender clients, Sex-positive and Kink aware individuals, technology and video game professionals and developers as well as people employed in that industry.

I am a therapist who is a part of the LGBTQ+ and poly communities. I have been working with these communities on a professional basis for close to 20 years. My practice includes varying combinations of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Zen Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Couples, with an overall focus on the importance of the relationship and connection between the therapist and the client to ensure that you feel secure and heard.

“Allow yourself to become intimately connected with all your parts.” -Virginia Satir

It takes courage to shine light on the parts of you that want to be seen. With a spirit of play and creativity, I will encourage you to engage your sense of wonder, so we can identify and build on your unique strengths.

Do you struggle in your relationships? What could it be like to intentionally cultivate a relationship where you are always seen and valued? With the right fit, that’s what happens in therapy. I will accept you exactly as you are, while making space for the person you are growing into - with compassion, warmth, and sometimes even humor. All of your emotions are welcome in our exploration - even the ones you judge yourself for.

You deserve to feel love and belonging.

As your therapist, I will invite you into a deeper and more rewarding relationship with yourself. Therapy looks different for everyone. We will work together to collaboratively discover what therapy looks like for you. You know yourself better than I ever will.

If you are seeking therapy with a partner or partners, I will help you learn to slow down and LISTEN to each other with curiosity, respect, and a willingness to be surprised. With couples and partners in all kinds of relationships, I support you to communicate more effectively, and see the best in one another.

Using a culturally sensitive, anti-oppression lens, I welcome people of every ability, size, gender, national origin, race/ethnicity, religious affiliation, relationship style; anywhere along the gender and sexuality spectrum - from teens to elders.

I’m a therapist who specializes in working with the LGBT community as well as people of any sexual orientation in or exploring non-monogamous relationships. I am kink-aware and know the importance that can play in many people’s lives. Whether you are looking for relationship counseling, or are looking for an individual therapist who you know will not judge your relationship structure, I would love to speak further to see if I may be a good fit.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with about 10 years of personal and professional experience with non-monogamy, and I specialize in working with couples. I work mostly with primary couples who want to strengthen their bond as one partner or both begin to include others in some deeper emotional and/or sexual way. I’ve helped many couples successfully move through the early stages of opening their relationship, and I’ve helped those who’ve been open for some time and need to repair a recent misstep or reevaluate their relationship. My approach emphasizes communication that is heard, felt and understood. I can also offer lots of tools, ideas and insights for couples who are new to open relationships. With an attitude of humor, curiosity and compassion, I want to help you find the structure that works for you. I have been in both monogamous and open relationships and am not biased toward one or the other. I believe it is important for each couple to find the relationship structure that best suits their needs and goals. I am committed to assisting those with any gender identity in finding love and connection. I have experience working with couples who desire to feel close again, need to regain trust after the crisis of an affair or loss, or need help with a specific issue such as sex, money or open relationship. We will locate where communication breaks down, explore the underlying feelings, and emphasize the resources and positive feelings that are sometimes withheld. I only accept out-of-network insurance coverage. I am available for Skype sessions for California residents.

This is a primary care office, that offers psychiatric care, psychiatric medication management, and psychiatric coordination. I specifically cater to the GLBTQQI, kink, poly, and underserved communities, but make myself available for clients with any specific psychiatric needs, all ages.

I have most of my therapy training in CBT and DBT and Mindfulness. I bring an accepting, non-judgmental presence to the therapeutic relationship and offer pragmatic skills-training for helping people to be happier and have less suffering in a variety of domains. My Spanish, Italian, and French skills are poor enough that for all practical purposes, I only speak English. I serve primarily ages 14 through 70. I see people dealing with depression, anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, ADHD, OCD, relationship issues, procrastination, substance use disorders and personality disorders.

I’m not on any insurance panels. Please contact me to learn more about fees and my sliding scale clinic by starting with the “prospective patients” section at jacobtowerymd.com I look forward to hearing from you. :)

I see clients in my office. I do some phone and email work. Please call or email for an appt. Thank you. - Does online consultation - Does phone consultation

My professional services include in-home individual, couples or family therapy. I have been providing therapy for all ranges of individuals for the past 8 years. I consider my specialties to include trauma/PTSD, anxiety and working with individuals in the poly/kink/LGBTQ/alt.sexuality/ethical non-monogamy lifestyle. I believe therapy is a joint, collaborative process between myself and my client. I use a holistic approach to therapy to integrate mind and body, drawing on different therapeutic strategies in order to find what works for each individual person. Other languages: ASL

I'm a psychotherapist and consultant from Southern NJ/Philadelphia area, specializing in mental health, addictions, and energy medicine.

Populations Served: Individuals, Couples, Families, Age 14+ and up, Specializations include LGBTQIA2S+, Alternative Relationship Styles, BDSM/Kink/Sex Positive, Living with HIV/AIDS

Therapy sessions for couples or individuals are a combination of deep listening on my part, examining and gaining insight into your story together, and skill building based on your needs. Together we build upon relationship skills, self compassion, and the ability to stay grounded in the present. We keep a keen eye on how beliefs formed in the past impact today.

For me, this work is soul work. Not just for my clients, but for me. There is something in each of us that is reflected universally, and I am connected to that through our work together. I companion clients to explore how their identity and circumstances were shaped by familiar, political, cultural, and spiritual environments they have been exposed to. I believe each client has a healing force within them that guides our work together.

I provide counseling in Santa Barbara, California, and online for residents of California. I support all constellations of loving partnerships, including partners who need support to be more loving. If you find yourself in love, looking to improve your love, or hoping to find a healthier love, I am willing to support you with compassionate and tactful guidance.

I recognize that not all romantic or intimate relationships are about “that one true love.” I offer guidance for clients practicing or thinking about exploring open relationships and ethical non-monogamy. I am poly-friendly and kink-affirming. If you would like to explore creative intimacy openly, safely, and with integrity, I will support you.

I am a culturally competent clinician determined to support all of my clients to be the best that they can be by their own standards and definitions. I will not provide you a path towards conventional success. Rather, I will listen carefully to who you want to become and ask relevant questions so that you can live your unique life with purpose and pride.

I work exclusively with adults (18+) in monogamous and polyamorous relationships, and other non-monogamous relationship structures. I take a systemic trauma-informed approach, and primarily use the developmental model of couples therapy and attachment theory in my relational work. I only offer telehealth self-pay services, with sliding scale if needed.

I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with the LGBTQA community, as well as with complex trauma and trauma-related diagnoses. I additionally work with the polyamory and kink communities and work with clients and couples to navigate difficult situations, improve communication, and increase understanding of boundaries and boundary setting. I work with pre-teens, teens, and adults across the lifespan.

I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds including all various forms of relationships from monogamous to polyamorous configurations. No matter what gender identity or sexual orientation a person is, counseling can provide new opportunities to build trust, communication and intimacy. I work with those in relationships to better understand how to improve their relationships while maintaining their sense of self.

We all go through times when life seems to lose its meaning. Painful memories from the past, struggles in the present, and concerns about the future can make it difficult to cope with everyday life. Whether you feel anxious, depressed, or lonely or worried about relationships and family life, you will find talking it through with someone who’s been trained to listen will help.

I am an integrative counsellor and therapist working one to one with adults. I work in person and online. My practice is focussed on GSRD (gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity). I work affirmatively with neurodivergent clients (including ADHD and autism) and GSRD experience (gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity) - this includes LGBTQIA+, kink and BDSM, non-monogamy, and sex work, where questions of belonging, safety, and identity can sit under the surface. I also recognise that the focus of what you bring to therapy may have little to do with your neurodivergence, gender, sexuality, relationship setup, or lifestyle.

Therapy is an opportunity to build trust in yourself and others, redefine your sense of self, choose your values, shift your relationship to the past, and create a life of meaning and engagement. I provide a contained space to have challenging, growth interactions as you create safety individually and together. I present ideas and ways of interacting, and you collaborate to create what is a good fit for you. There is no one right way to have relationships - only what is right for your relationship values.

Populations served: I work with adults, older adults, couples/dyads, and poly relationship systems. I specialize in working with the neurodivergent/autistic/ADHD community, the poly and consensual non-monogamy community, the LGBTQ+ community, the kink/BDSM community, patients experiencing complex trauma, and intersectional identity exploration.
