Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy and Observed & Experiential Integration (a form of trauma counselling). I serve those suffering from psychological distress ages 21 and up, with an emphasis on codependency, attachment, and trauma-related issues.

I’m a therapist who specializes in treating domestic violence, trauma, and gender identity issues. I offer both individual and group therapy to meet every client’s needs. I only work with people via telehealth (Zoom video chats) and I only speak English. I often work with people age 13 and up. I do not work with any insurance panels, however, I provide all clients with a receipt for fees paid so they may gain reimbursement directly from their insurance company.

The number of polyamory, LGBTQIA and kink friendly therapists is increasing, hopefully eclipsing decades of shame inflicted by the mental health professions. We are in a time where relationship structures and gender are being redefined. People are experimenting with their attachments and desires. Over my near 20 years of licensed practice, I’ve worked with many types of poly development presented by clients: monogamies that want to open, or close, or repair the pain caused by either move; advanced poly relationships involving six adults and multiple contracts; cheating monogamists hoping to reset using polyamory best practices, and more. With lengthy training in a rigorous, integrated sex-positive relationship therapy model, my clients’ relational, erotic/sexual and gender diversity is treated with a clear approach which understands the fundamental drive wheels of all choice-based relationships.

I have been active in the Poly Lifestyle for over 40 years and my client base is mostly people who are Gay/Lesbian, BDSM, Swingers and most all forms of alternative lifestyles. I work with those having trouble with communication issues, boundaries, jealousy and other related issues. - Does online consultation - Does phone consultation

Here at Turning Point Family Therapy, I offer compassionate counseling for all of life’s events in the Denver metro area. My clients include individuals, couples, families (of every kind), children and adolescents.

Choosing a mental health provider is one of the most important decisions you can make. You want someone who is caring, knowledgeable, accessible and willing to take time for you and treat you as a person, not just a client.

My mission as a therapist is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you feel free to express yourself. I respect the mind, body, and spirit to promote clients’ vitality, passion and purpose. I honor the uniqueness of each individual while allowing the family to bloom.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative process between the client and me. I value working with clients’ strengths as a way to help clients reach goals and make positive changes. I believe therapy is not meant to fix parts of us that are broken but to allow us to become the best version of ourselves.

The majority of my experience so far in my career as a therapist has been in trauma, substance use recovery, eating disorder relapse prevention, body image and sex, partnerships and sexual concerns, as well as working with couples, families, and parenting issues. In regard to what I have found in this experience, especially working with eating disorders and substance use recovery, is that what seems to be missing with the recovery process is a sexual recovery component.

I feel that who I am, my authenticity, my message, and showing my humanness sets me apart from many therapists trained to be a blank slate for their clients. The work we do in session does not end there and it is not confined to the hour that I actually see them each week. I am prepared and have the latest evidence-based research to provide support.

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.

I begin by listening….the working with you to move you forward in the directions you desire.

I am a licensed therapist with 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups.

I’m Rory (they/them) a trauma therapist, non-monogamy coach and sexuality educator. I specialize in working with clients who need support in navigating the complexities of non-monogamy, polyamory and relationship anarchy. If you want to build more secure and joyful connections and tools to help your relationships thrive then my practice is for you! Practicing non-monogamy requires us to challenge much of the cultural conditioning we’ve received about relationships. This unconscious conditioning lives in our bodies and must be unlearned from the inside out. I offer my clients skills for embodied unlearning so they can create more liberated relationships. I am trained in EMDR and Somatic Internal Family Systems, I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Certified Psychedelic Therapist. As a practitioner I am sex-positive, kink-aware, skilled in working with neurodiverse clients, and affirming of queer identities. I also practice polyamory and Relationship Anarchy in my own life, so I’m able to offer valuable insight from my lived experience to my clients.

I offer therapy in-person and online to clients in the state of Arizona, and coaching packages, which are available to clients in any state.

I have been working with alternative sexualities and relationship paradigms for over 10 years, including LGBTQI, Polyamory and BDSM. I work intuitively and attune to your specific needs. My training is extensive and varied and I integrate body, mind and spirit to my approach to therapy. Please call me to talk further about doing therapy with me.

My specialty is sexual dysfunction and my goal is to empower you with the knowledge and skills to improve your sex life as well as to provide a calm, comfortable space to explore underlying issues. Several studies have connected a healthy, fulfilling sex to longevity, improved mental health, and higher relationship satisfaction. I work with anyone over the 18 and I work with all types of relationships. My background is Marriage and Family Therapy, and I have been licensed in the state of MS for over eight years. In 2014, I completed a Certificate in Sex Education and Therapy at the University of Michigan. Also, in 2020, I added Telehealth to increase access to Sex Therapy for those that live in Mississippi.

I express my love of love by learning about different relationship configurations such as queerness, non-monogamy, relationship anarchy, and swinging. After reading, taking courses, and my own personal exploration, it’s clear to me that there is no one-size-fits-all-right-way to do relationships. Knowing how to navigate the options in ways that truly work for you and the people you connect with is what really matters. I enjoy working with adult individuals and couples.

I am trained in other modalities that include Non-violent communication, Radical honesty and Wheel of Consent.

I offer online and in-person coaching to individuals, couples and polycules. I can help with relationship issues, honesty and authenticity in relating, life transformation and major life crises.

I have 9+ years of running workshops, facilitating groups and educating on polyamory, non-monogamy, kink and consent. I work with adults 18 and above.

I identify as solo-polyamorous and have been practicing polyamory for 10 years.

I am a psychiatric APRN who has experience working with LBGT, BDSM and poly households. I utilize multiple therapeutic modalities in individual adult and relationship counseling as well as in family therapy with clients in divergent lifestyles. I have in depth knowledge of power exchange relationships. I am versed in dealing with identity, role conflicts and dynamics. I provide clinical evaluation and psychopharmacology services to children and adolescents. I treat children for anxiety, mood problems, ADHD and other issues. I am open and accepting of families with alternative lifestyles and structures other than the classic binary parental model.

I believe that polyamory is a valid normal lifestyle and welcome polyamorous people to my practice. I have a a long history of treating clients with alternative needs and being active in the polyamorous community I am particularly aware of the needs represented. I have the skills, sensitivity, training and education to be effective and understanding of the needs of those in my community.

Russell Wilkie, MA, MFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Relationships and how we communicate are the two most important things in our lives - - and I find it even more so in poly relationships. I have spent over 20 years working with LGBTQ and poly issues. I focus on using clear communication to refine and clarify intimacy, honesty, love, directness and sex… How we communicate and sooth one anothers emotional reactivity has more to do with quality relationships than focusing on our deep, dark, past issues. Choosing a therapist is like choosing shoes – You may have to try some on before you find one that fits.

I am a psychotherapist working in private practice. I am glad to work with polyamorous individuals, couples, or constellations, whether your issues are related to polyamory or whether they are entirely unrelated and you just want to work with a therapist who will understand poly as a normal part of your life.

I take a solution-focused approach, using aspects of psychodynamic theory, behavioral theory, or dialectical-behavioral therapy as needed by the individual client. My experience has focused on work with GLBTQIA clients and survivors of childhood trauma; I’ve also done a lot of work with transgender clients and people in the kink community, as well as furry/Otherkin folks. I welcome clients of color and clients living with disabilities and long-term health problems, and I’m always eager to educate myself about the particular issues facing any of my clients. I look forward to hearing from you!

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.
