Inclusive Therapy for Alternative Lifestyles
Kink-aware therapists can help with all types of issues and we won’t assume that your concerns are directly related to your sexual identities or practices. We know that sexual shame can have a significant impact on individuals’ self-esteem as well as their relationship and sexual satisfaction. In therapy, we work on understanding the root cause of your concerns and develop tools for exploring your sexual wellness goals without stress and shame.
Sex therapy can be very helpful in exploring new relationship dynamics or leveling up your education about consensual kink so you can explore with safety and your own boundaries in mind. Whether you are a newbie or you have been in the lifestyle community for decades, we can help you enhance your pleasure and navigate any challenges that come up along the way.
Sex Therapy for Kink, BDSM, Fetish and Vanilla Communities
Sex therapy can be helpful to create a safe and validating space for you to explore your sexuality and sexual interests without judgment. Sex-positive therapists recognize the diversity of sexual expression and behaviors, sexual fantasies and lifestyle choices. They’ll create an inclusive environment and can help you develop tools for dealing with negative sexual scripts about sex and sexual activity, while enhancing your understanding of your own sexuality.
Recognizing that sex therapy is working involves improvements in communication, comfort, and sexual satisfaction. If you're experiencing sexual issues or are simply looking to enhance your sexual well-being, don’t hesitate to seek the guidance of a qualified sex therapist. It can be the first step toward a more fulfilling and satisfying sex life.
