Counseling for Polyamory & Nonmonogamy

Be authentic in all your relationships

You want different experiences in your relationships

You know you want to open your relationship to different types of sexual and intimate relationships, whether that is BDSM or polyamory or some other way of opening up to other partners. 

You are experiencing jealousy and you know you want to manage it, but you don’t know what to do. You want to feel happy for your partner or partners when they’re with someone else.

You know you have emotional and physical desires and needs, but you don’t know how to talk about them. You just want this to feel easier. 

Feel more connected

You may feel alone even when you are with a partner and haven’t been able to talk to them about what you want. Many times it can feel shameful to have desires that don’t match what you think your partner wants. 

People in open or polyamorous relationships often feel bad about their feelings of jealousy, and that what they want logically isn’t the same as the messy space they’re feeling inside. This can lead you to have low self-confidence which can affect what you feel about yourself in general.

You can create safety in vulnerability.

Therapy helps you identify your wants and needs, to parse through the feelings you’re having. We will help you develop your toolbox to help get clarity in what you want and to be able to talk about your needs in a way that is healthy.

Therapy can also help you to look at your past relationships and the patterns you’ve developed and to see what feels healthy and what is actually problematic. Therapy can help you to integrate healthy ways to have relationships and experiences with other people.
