Life Coaches

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT#115452). I take a whole-person approach to my work and I work with individuals and couples of diverse backgrounds and concerns. I am experienced in working with people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, including mixed-orientation couples and poly relationships. I have significant experience working with individuals, couples, and poly relationships in the kink community. I also have experience working with sex workers, dancers, strippers, and escorts. If you're curious about whether or not we could work together, the best way to find out is for us to talk or meet.

Over the past decade, my practice has gravitated toward being of service to those who practice alternative sexual lifestyles. From working with people who engage in BDSM and polyamory to swingers, cross-dressers, and just bog standard kinksters, I've heard of so many occasions where, in the first session, the therapist has immediately identified the sexual behavior as the problem and disregarded everything else mentioned. Common among those who come to see me are a history of secrecy, shame, and self-contempt, feelings of inadequacy, or feeling "broken." Anger, anxiety, and confusion, along with a deep-rooted shame, lead to desperation and being overwhelmed. You have chosen a lifestyle that not everyone understands although, if theres a name for it, someones done it. Sometimes, unfortunately, you internalize society's judgmental attitudes, causing you to question your behaviors and beliefs. I can help you before the feelings and behaviors cause damage in your life. I am an experienced Kink-Knowledgeable Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade working as a therapist. I have trained under Patrick Carnes as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. However the knowledge I have in this field is broader and less restrictive than SASH. I have worked with the Fire Department of New York since before 9/11. I'm very experienced with PTSD, Depression, and Anxiety Disorders. Also, I have vast experience helping people overcome addictions.

Mental health is achieved through integration of heart, mind, body and spirit. People living any type of "alternative" lifestyle are undeserved and often misunderstood in the therapy community. I am a fully licensed professional offering confidential, individual and couples relationship counseling in the fast paced San Jose area of Silicon Valley. I understand the unique needs of clients as I am experienced in providing sensitive, unbiased support to the BDSM, D/S, Kink,LGBTQIA, Ethical Non-Monogamy/Poly, andSwinging community. I have additional training in yoga, meditation, Tantra and spirituality, hypnotherapy and EMDR. I am also trained to work with abuse survivors and those who experience PTSD from Trauma. We all face individual and relationship challenges at one time or another. Sometimes we can talk these through with a trusted friend or family member, but sometimes we need the experienced ear of a professional who can listen without judgment and help guide us through all the layers of our feelings. You may be experiencing feelings of emptiness, a feeling of anger, distance or frustration with a loved one, lack of intimacy, unhappiness with work, wanting changes in a specific area of your life but not knowing where to start, or experiencing a life transition. You may have unexpressed needs related to your sexuality and intimacy and need support on how to communicate these desires with your partner. You may want to explore therapy because your partner has desires that you dont understand. Perhaps you have begun to come to know that your own habits of thinking or relating to others are no longer working for you, or you may have inner feelings of hope and longing or even guilt and shame that are stirred from deep within. You may not know where to start, but you do know you want to change. As an open-minded, non-judgmental counselor, I offer a sex positive framework. I work with clients in a safe, collaborative environment to explore your feelings, needs, hopes, dreams, sexual desires and interests. I am comfortable talking about difficult and controversial issues, and will work with you in a practical, strengths based manner. Working with an unbiased approach with individuals and all relationship systems, I will share reflections and suggestions while also listening respectfully and carefully to make sure I understand your unique concerns. Our time together will not only be based on symptom relief, but also on life enrichment and lasting change. We will work together developing insight and awareness to find positive solutions. Relationship counseling is based on constructive conflict resolution. Sex therapy is based on authenticity, honesty, empowerment, and integrity. Safety and confidentiality are of utmost importance in psychotherapy and I am dedicated to developing trust so you can explore the issues causing distress, leading to deeper insight, awareness and healing. Please see my website for more information and ideas on how we can work together to make your life the best it can be. Connie Kay, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) LCS #61797

I'm a licensed psychotherapist, have post-graduate training in sexual health from the University of Michigan and am dual AASECT-certified as a sex therapist and a sexuality educator.I will honor and respect your relationship with kink in our therapeutic relationship. I've written two books on neurobiology, (I mention some of my own kink mishaps in the Neuroscience of Dating book). I help people be their own neurosurgeon--use their mind to change their brain. (OrI help couples do this for each other--how we relate internally has a lot to do with how we relate interpersonally, it's all part of neurobiology principles.) I recently started a blog on the Neuroscience of Awareness, please join in and ask questions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcX79jkbTxDrFhir6FekQiVcEOLu10xxS Im currently in a three-year trauma training program in somatic experiencing and already use memory reconsolidation (MR) in my practice. See video #7 in the above blog or video at the bottom of HeidiCrockett.com for an explanation of MR. I recommend giving me a call on the phone 727-288-4117 rather than reading a description on a computer screen. Then you can get a feel for how we would work together.

I believe that relationships and sexuality play a crucial role in overall health and wellness yet are often overlooked in both mainstream and holistic models of care. Sensitive to diverse expressions of sexuality, specializing in women's wellness, sexual and reproductive health, digestive support and end of life care.

Life doesn't have to be "hard", "confusing", or "a mess". Learning to embrace your brain for the way it is, understand why it is the way it is, and how to live your life from a place of peace, understanding, and strength is what we are all about. You don't need to be fixed. You are not broken. What you could use is a Life Coach to help you better understand your brain and how to deal with your everyday struggles and beliefs.
