Discover the effectiveness of an experienced body-based therapist for individuals and couples with life and relationship problems. Bonding Psychotherapy incorporates the power of touch and emotional expression to release historic blockages, and liberate energy for personal and relationship growth. This is different from bodywork as there is no massage table in our offices. Individual and couples therapy are complemented with group therapy sessions which incorporate therapeutic touch and deep emotional expression. Together, these modalities help people to release and discover useful emotional material that can be consolidated with the talk therapy. The focus is on the emotional body, as well as the mind. 30 Years of Private Practice with Individuals, Couples and Groups.

Many people have found that they thrive in relationship structures that stretch beyond what dominant culture deems "traditional." Exploring sex and sexuality can bring a variety of unique challenges to sense of self and relatoinship. Whether you are in the beginning stages of exploration with a primary partner or you are in an established poly relationship, we can work together to confront vulnerabilities, the dynamics of power and control, and the communication breakdowns that are a part of all relationships. Our therapeutic work can assist in addressing these concerns within the primary couple or your extended relationship structure.

I work with leather/power-exchange sex as one of the varied manifestations of the male soul, focusing on its unique meaning for the man/men involved. It's my privilege to work as an ally to other men and to the male soul. I take a male-affirmative approach to counseling and therapy, looking to uncover and honor a man's often unrecognized gifts and accomplishments. Gay or straight (or unlabeled), older or younger, partnered or single, men face a lot of challenges in our lives, and our society complicates them by sending us very mixed messages. We are supposed to be more caring and sensitive and we are also supposed to "man up." The woes of the world are somehow our fault because we're just too...male. And men who don't fit the standard model feel like outsiders. All this adds to the confusion when we develop stressful problems with our sexual lives, our jobs, our relationships or our own habits, thoughts and emotions (and yes, men do have emotions!).Having a respectful, thoughtful and confidential ally can help.I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #MFC37350.My basic therapeutic orientation is rooted in the work of CG Jung.

However, we often remain concerned about professionals who may not be accepting or culturally aware. I provide a warm and supportive environment for those who are kinky, polyamorous, identify as sex positive, or as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersexed and questioning. It is my desire to create an environment that can help you to address and recover from emotional issues while affirming your unique identity.

Now accepting new Skype and phone clients! Being an out queer&trans politicized healer means that I adamantly believe that pathology and healing are completely contradictory. Finding a new therapist who is the right fit can be tricky. Finding a new therapist who you don't have to educate on your identity, your relationship, your life experience or the various institutions that impact your life can be near impossible. You live amidst family and community practices, public and private institutions and broader social norms that support and perpetuate violence and domination. Isn't it critical to have a healer who has a deep analysis of the ways those practices, institutions and norms operate and what it takes to heal within them? As a somatic healer, I use the body because I think it can make us infinitely more successful at changing engrained patterns. Often times as brilliant smart humans, we can describe our own life histories and stumbling blocks to precise detail. Sometimes we can even describe the things we want to be doing instead. However changing patterns and creating new practices seems completely out of reach. For people who survived trauma and oppression, centering our work in the body will also give you information about how to live in the present moment. You will build capacity to recover from hardwired survival strategies like fight, flight, freeze that often put the needs for safety and survival at odds with the needs for connection. You will never be able to think your way out of trauma but the body gives us other strategies to build tools to access safety and connection. Sustainable relevant healing becomes possible and attainable.

Tried counseling and felt disappointed, frustrated, and/or misunderstood? Does the idea of "being in therapy" not appeal to you? There is another way: Personal Development Mentoring. Personal Development Mentoring is a peer-mentoring process that takes the judgment out of the interaction completely by focusing on what you want your life to be like, then figuring out how to get there. All in the comfort of your own home (or a private space in a public library, if you aren't comfortable meeting in your home). In addition, the Personal Development Mentor is available by phone, email, and/or text for consultation outside of the weekly session, when you need help most--in the moment of one of your life's challenges. Personal Development Mentoring emphasizes a non-judgmental, natural-consequences approach, which can help an individual recognize, evaluate, and change the thoughts that lead to goal-impeding behavior. While Personal Development Mentoring has its basis in cognitive-behavior therapy, the method is both less than and more than traditional counseling/therapy, and helps you find new ways of achieving the life you want to live by looking at things from a different perspective, and, thus, seeing a new path to build that life. Not counseling. Not therapy. Real help--without judgment--that works. Gretchen Alder, founder and practitioner of Personal Development Mentoring, has been exploring this method of helping people for the past seven years, and has a wide variety of success stories of the benefit of Personal Development Mentoring. She has earned a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Notre Dame de Namur University in 2001, Certification in Alcohol and Other Drug Counseling from the Illinois Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Certification Association in 2011, and a Graduate Certificate in Child and Adolescent Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2012. Her experience working in the social services field motivated her to develop Personal Development Mentoring, which she describes as “not walking ahead of you and pulling you; not walking behind you and pushing you; but walking beside you and pointing out things you might not see along the way.” She uses both her education and personal life experience--within and outside of the LGBTQ, Kink, Swinger, and Polyamory communities--to act as a mentor for those who are finding life's challenges to be overwhelming. New Mind Paradigm is the non-profit organization that supports both the research and practice of Personal Development Mentoring. Its unique donation-only system is structured to help those in greatest need regardless of ability to pay; as such it bills no insurance organizations, but accepts donations from those it serves and from the general public. Interested? Send an email to gretchen@newmindparadigm.org to set up a 30-minute consultation.
