Seeing a need for therapy services that are not limited by directives given from insurance companies and politicians, we formed our organization to provide sensible, research-based solutions to help CHANGE our community for the better! Many couple's and family therapists do not understand or realize the normalcy of ethically non-monogamous relationships- how could we expect the people writing our laws to know, or creating the therapy structure?
As therapists, we have seen the behind-the scenes impacts that political wars, insurance greed, and inflexible corporations have done to the world of mental health- while YOU pay the price. This is even more difficult for people in "alternative" relationship styles such as people in the kink community, swingers, triads, etc... Why would we think that 50 minutes is good enough for one person in the therapy room, but then you add two and it should be 25 minutes (this is what insurance companies tell us to do)? Why, with a triad or a quad would we only provide services for 50 minutes when it is potentially double or triple the complexities? We want to offer something different. Something that is accessible to everyone, and is therapy done the way the experts and research tell us to do it, so you can have the best success!
For individuals, we utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities including DBT, CBT, trauma-informed visualization, and EMDR to create a unique treatment plan to incorporate what works best for you! For those coming in who are in an alternative or kink relationship, we will use our knowledge of relationship structures partnered with techniques from relationship therapy experts/modalities (such as contextual family therapy, and Dr. John Gottman) to help strengthen your relationships. Our goal is to help you create strategies and life skills to reduce difficulties in life that are causing you to feel stressed and overwhelmed. Life comes with a lot of stressors, we can be your temporary safety and help you find your strength and power!
