Name of Primary Practitioner
Melanie Bettes
Business Excerpt
Many people are involved in kink, and many therapists are uncomfortable with it, or simply haven't tried to understand it. Often they will not talk about sex at all in a session, when it can be such a huge part of our life and the way we interact with our partners. This leaves some relationships within the kink umbrella vulnerable and without support from qualified therapists. Many therapists simply misunderstand the dynamics involved. Some think it's purely a response to trauma. Some think even worse. But studies don't support the common misperceptions around kink. Many people hesitate to reach out to a therapist because they're afraid of being judged. My job is not to judge, rather to sit with you, challenge you, and help clear the path to insight for you. Kinky person or not.
