At NBC, our ideal client is someone who’s high-achieving yet emotionally overwhelmed—navigating anxiety, burnout, grief, or past trauma. They’re tired of holding it all together and are seeking a safe space to unpack the weight they carry. They want clarity, emotional relief, and tools that lead to lasting change. Their goals include setting boundaries, healing from the inside out, and feeling like themselves again. They choose therapy not just to cope, but to grow—and because they know their well-being matters.

Therapy can be challenging - it takes courage to look directly at parts of ourselves that we feel ashamed of. Going through this process with someone who gets you can be transformative. I'm deeply curious about how you see the world and work to create an environment where you can be, too. Maybe you have learned to cope with feelings in ways that are hurting you or your relationships. Maybe you're struggling with a tendency to isolate or hurt yourself, with self-hatred, with long-term patterns that you feel hopeless about. Every person has a unique ability to change & grow. The goal of therapy is to remove obstacles to your growth.

Are you struggling with ADHD, Autism, neurodiversity-related issues, or anxiety? As neurodivergent women, we face many complicated challenges. Wearing so many hats at once can feel overwhelming, especially with a different neurotype. You might feel like no one understands or has the time to listen. You're used to keeping it all inside and managing on your own, but it's not working anymore. You want to find peace and relief from what's keeping you from enjoying life. You deserve compassionate and empowering care. You don't have to manage these emotions by yourself anymore.

I will never judge you. Nothing you say is going to shock me, scare me, or make me stop working with you.

Why might an individual want to see a therapist specializing in open relationships and consensual non-monogamy?

A client seeking help with an open or consensually non-monogamous relationship will prefer to talk with a professional whom they can count on to be nonjudgmental. Talking with a supportive therapist may on its own help relieve some of the stigma and challenges partners face. That said, the most important factor in the success of any type of therapy is the ability of the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond. For this reason, an individual or couple could find success with a therapist who does not specialize in non-monogamous relationships but with whom they can build trust.

When should open or consensually non-monogamous partners seek counseling?

Like other couples, polyamorous partners typically seek counseling when they face relationship challenges they can’t solve themselves. In non-monogamous relationships, this could include breaches of trust, including infidelity; unclear rules or violations of boundaries; jealousy of outside partners; the stress of juggling the needs of multiple partners; or the effect of high partner turnover on children. Like those of other couples, polyamorous bonds can be threatened by increasingly frequent arguments, poor or dysfunctional communication, diminished emotional or physical intimacy, or the feeling that something is wrong, even if they don’t know what it is.

Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in open relationships and consensual non-monogamy?

No, but individuals seeking help with non-monogamous relationships would most likely consult a licensed professional with specific training in couples counseling or couples therapy. Couples counseling and couples therapy both involve teaching concrete strategies to navigate conflict in relationships. A good therapist can engage both partners as they explain these approaches but can also work with a single partner.

How long does therapy for consensually non-monogamous couples typically last?

Couples therapy for any type of couple, tends to be relatively time-limited, lasting around 12 weeks on average. A good therapist will tailor sessions to the individual partners’ emotions and sometimes their past, along with patterns found to be repeating in the relationship. In many cases, clients should expect their therapist to assign “homework” between weekly sessions.
