I believe therapy can be a richly rewarding process that supports you in developing a more satisfying life. Through therapy you can find a deeper connection with yourself and others, overcome difficulties and move towards growth, healing, and self-compassion. Although therapy can be challenging at times, it can also be playful, utilizing humor and genuine curiosity. I strive to create a non-judgmental and collaborative environment, fostering trust, safety, and connection. My personal style is warm, engaged, and caring.

The longest relationship you’ve ever had is the one you have with yourself. Understanding who you are to your core is life’s greatest adventure. Identity and expression of that identity is what makes you, YOU.
Many people have never had the chance to dissect their desires and learn about their authentic selves. You may not be happy with the way you feel about your body, your gender or identity expression, or maybe you feel inexperienced and nervous about the topic of sexuality; There is room for all of these feelings to be explored. Sexuality is a spectrum, and all of the colors of the wheel are welcome and deserve therapy.
Kd Farris
Pastoral Counselor, PhD
My roots as a therapist and healer have seeded over the past thirty-five years, bringing substance and depth to my one-on-one sessions with couples and individuals. During this time, I have maintained a private practice, which has always consisted of process-oriented consciousness work -- a means by which to enter safely and deeply into the inner landscape of the psyche for positive and real world change. My results-oriented approach to psychology is derived from the commitment to a conscious process and the intrapsychic relationship one can access when choosing to turn toward--and look at--oneself.

Do you feel anxious day in and day out? Are you struggling to manage worry, doubt or uncertainty? Maybe you have some things you have yet to process weighing you down. Maybe you're feeling disheartened, nervous, and misunderstood. Anxiety, OCD and Depression can make us feel so stuck, but you don't have to work through it alone. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is start to talk about your own story. Life is too short to surrender to anxiety and let trauma control us. I want you to be free of emotional instability, be able to deal with life on life's terms, and to find meaning again.
Mindy H Walder
Counselor, MA, CDC®
My clients are seeking help adjusting to major life changes, looking to live with painful emotions and eventually adapting them into meaningful action - towards themselves and those they love. I largely work with women, men and teenagers who are going through divorce and family restructuring, i.e. becoming re-singled, re-partnered, or learning to accept life split between two homes. Individuals looking to redefine place and purpose in the world after change, especially unwanted, is hard work. Having a sounding board and therapeutic guide who listens, challenges and supports you is essential to reaching your goals.

Are you succeeding from the outside but feeling lost on the inside? Do you notice the same patterns in your relationship that leave you unhappy? Do you just want to feel better about yourself in general? Therapy addresses these issues from the inside out so that the change you experience is real and everlasting. When you gain awareness of who you really are and what you have to offer, you experience the world through a different lens - a lens that allows feelings of joy and confidence instead of sadness and insecurity. With a little help, everyone has the capacity to heal, develop self-worth, and lead a fulfilling life.

Open Relationships Non-Monogamy Therapists
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.
