I’m Betsy Gilpin, LCPC, LCMHC, a trauma-informed therapist offering kink-affirming and polyamory-friendly therapy for adults in Holly Springs, NC and virtually across North Carolina and Illinois. I work with individuals and partners navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, relationship dynamics, and the unique challenges that can come with consensual non-monogamy and alternative relationship structures.
Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware adults who are tired of feeling misunderstood in traditional therapy spaces. You may be navigating communication struggles, jealousy, boundaries, or the impact of past trauma on your relationships. You might also be holding the weight of stigma, masking parts of yourself, or questioning how to fully show up as your authentic self.
My approach is sex-positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and grounded in respect, curiosity, and collaboration. I integrate evidence-based therapies like EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help you process past experiences, regulate your nervous system, and create meaningful, lasting change—without judgment or shame.
I offer both ongoing therapy and therapy intensives, providing flexible options for deeper, focused work. Whether you're exploring your identity, strengthening your relationships, or healing from past experiences, therapy can be a space where all parts of you are welcome.
