INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
​
Individual therapy is a collaborative process that can help clarify your goals, heal from painful or traumatic experiences, build positive coping skills, improve relationships, and become more present overall in your life. We typically start individual therapy by assessing what you would like to accomplish, your strengths, current challenges, and what approach would be most effective in our work together. Additionally, talking with a therapist allows you to get a sense of how you appear to other people, helps you get feedback on whatever you’re feeling, and offers insight on how those emotions are affecting your everyday life. It is an investment in your emotional well-being and actualizing your authentic self.
COUPLES / POLYCULE THERAPY
​
There are many reasons why couples/polycules decide to go to therapy together — to improve communication, resolve conflict, work on sexual dissatisfaction, and/or to find a healthy and amicable way to end the relationship. The overall goal of couples/polycules counseling is to help each person communicate better, understand each other, respect each other, and know each other's needs.
SEX THERAPY
Couples/polycules often want to work on their sexual relationships as well. We work with couples/polycules struggling with desire issues, arousal issues, and orgasm issues. There are a lot of misconceptions and false expectations around what sex should look and feel like. We encourage couples/polycules to explore sexual adventurousness, erotic expression, openness, non-monogamy, and/or fetishes without judgment.
FAMILY THERAPY
​
Family therapy is a way of exploring and healing personal issues and/or crises by collaborating with the entire family unit rather than just the individual. In family therapy, we focus on how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are a function of our relationships with others within the family unit. A healthy family is not defined by the absence of conflict, but by how effectively it handles stressors as it responds to everyone's needs. We use therapeutic approaches that are designed to help families improve communication, inner strengths, problem-solve, and enhance their sense of connection to one another.
LGBTQIA+ THERAPY
​​
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual/Aromantic+ (LGBTQIA+) individuals seek counseling for help with many of the same clinical and life issues as heterosexual and cisgender people– depression, anxiety, relationship issues, work stress, etc. Many problems may appear to have little to do with sexuality or gender identity, while others may be intimately connected to their LGBTQIA+ identity. For folks who identify as transgender and/or non-binary, we provide therapy to increase personal awareness as well as facilitate decision-making around their gender identity and expression.​
