Your emotional well-being is my only professional interest. Isn't it about time your therapy was truly about you? As a professional counselor I am trained in a variety of therapeutic techniques but ultimately I take an eclectic approach and adapt multiple theoretical frameworks and clinical strategies to meet your unique situation and orientation. I maintain a strong dedicated to ethical therapy practices. I will always inform you of my techniques and obtain your consent prior to implementation. I enjoy what I do and love sharing my knowledge with clients for their own use and benefit. I believe in therapy that is judgment-free and based on what you want from yourself and your relationships. 50 minute sessions are priced on a sliding scale based upon what you can afford to pay. I conduct sessions in person or via Skype/FaceTime/phone. Confidentiality is assured. I look forward to working with you...

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.

30 years of experience in alternative lifestyles, an author of articles and chapters in books on a variety of psychology and lifestyle topics, and a certification in hypnotherapy, personally trained by one of the top names in hypnosis. Your kink won't even raise my eyebrows. I'm not shockable. I've helped people with orgasm problems, gender issues, gag reflex, relationship problems, overcoming sexual abuse, dissociation, and a host of other things they didn't feel safe discussing with traditional therapists. Nobody can guarantee outcomes, but you must start with someone who can listen to you without judging. I have studied Dave Elman, Milton Erickson, Charles Tebbetts, Richard Nongard, Melissa Tiers, Igor Ledochovsky, and a host of other leading names in hypnotherapy, and then synthesized my own techniques out of the best of the best. I call it Reconfiguring your Human Settings. Together we can find solutions to the issues that are holding you back.

A queer, kink and polyam knowledgeable individual and relationship psychotherapist

Eve is an Integrative Hypno-Psychotherapist experienced in GSRD, LGBTQIA+, QITPoC, Alt, Swinging, Poly, Ethical Non-Monogamies, Sex Work, Fetish, Kink, BDSM, sexuality, gender and relationship identity. Founding Co-Director of SexProfs an organisation borne from the dual identity of sex work and therapists.To challenge assumptions about those with different life experiences, increase training opportunities, bridge the gap between practitioners and the outside world, and provide support for those, both clients and practitioners who have experienced prejudice at the hands of conventional therapy. Eve is a CorporateTrainer, CourseDesigner, Charity Role Model, involved in the Pride movement and Coordinator of an LGBTQIA+ Mental Health Charity. I work with and individuals and couples in perosn and via video who may find that traditional therapists are not suited or particularly understanding of their needs. Recent projects include designing and delivering courses to government agencies and private corporations on LGBTQIA+ mental health awareness. Any sexuality or gender identity that you self identify as will very rarely be the subject of any therapy and it is merely that you are reassured that if it is raised during the course of therapy then it is something I am totally capable and knowledgeable about to explore with you if so desired. The people that I work with may not only experience situations unique to their identities but also may require unique solutions to those issues. This is the reason that I title myself integrative, this simply means that unlike some I do not stick to one modality but have the adaptability to create those unique to each client. In this recognition that a one size fits all approach does not exist within GSRD, it gives me the therapeutic freedom to be as unique as you are. Her specialisations include, writing for publications, media work, cultural appropriation, independent diversity consulting, terminologies, intersectionality, Mental Health Awareness and PoC issues. She has a special interest in the intersectionality of therapeutic/social boundaries, formulating policies where therapist and client belong to the same community. Amongstregularpresenting at various conferences and mental health events, Eve alsoappeared on a paneldiscussingher intersectionalites at the Pink Therapy Sex Works Conference in 2018.
