Life Coaches

We offer sex-positive, kink-friendly therapy in Portland, Oregon and internationally via video-conferencing. Our mission is to provide a non-judgmental space to explore issues around sexuality, desire, passion, ecstasy, power, intimacy, communication, personal transformation and life transitions. We believe that living the erotic life means integrating worlds that are often kept separate, such as the sacred and the profane, darkness and light. Our philosophy of counseling is that there are hidden meanings and creative solutions within the conflicts, challenges and difficulties we face. Our approach is non-pathological, transformative and diversity-conscious.

I provide frank and honest feedback for people who are facing relationship challenges. I also work well with kink folks who are dealing with life concerns like depression or anxiety and who don't want to have to justify or explain their lifestyle to an uninformed therapist.In addition to my downtown office, I have a second location at SE 12th & Belmont. With decades of counseling experience and 10+ years of immersion in open/poly/swing relationships, queer/ GLBTQI*, BDSM and kink concerns, I've been able to help with many kinds of issues. I provide training and supervision for therapists who want to learn about sexuality. I'm Certified as a Sex Therapist by American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT). Also certified as a Gottman Institute Relationship Therapist. I offer my clients an opportunity for skill development in their relationship lives, and provide a lot of information, tools and strategies.I work especially well with bright and inquisitive people.

Sexuality, Gender, & Relationship Coaching

Hi! I offer individual coaching for adults with ADHD, or who are ASD/AuDHD. If you're feeling isolated or alone, or are looking for a community to grow with, Neuroqueer.org is an online peer support and coaching community for neurodivergent LGBTQQI+ adults to access co-regulation, education and empowerment. Sometimes we just need someone to help us figure things out.

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
