etc, it is important to teach lost souls self acceptance, allowing them to live comfortably with their sexuality and live a healthy loving productive life.
Transpersonal Relationship Growth was founded by myself, Dr Cheryl Demalignon in 1987. I have been helping individuals, couples and families to better their relationships by having them improve their personal identity and increase their self esteem. We attract those relationships with others that mirror our love or dislike for ourselves.

I think we all can have a time in our lives where we reach a problem or a series of problems and are faced with the question of "how do I get through this?" or "what should I do?" Regardless of what brought you to that crossroad, therapy is a useful means to help you figure out what to do next. Your time is important and your life is meant to be full of happiness. We all are transitioning from something and have to make the choice about what is best for us. Live your life and enjoy it.

I believe that all people have an innate healing capacity and through compassion, we can navigate to the other side of shame. I have worked extensively with issues of childhood and adult traumas and how these painful experiences have affected how we relate to ourselves and others. I specialize in working with PTSD, anxiety, depression, & grief, and psychedelic integration. I am especially passionate about working with people who are open and willing to do deep work & interested in somatic approaches. I also enjoy working with those who are interested in using therapy to explore topics like having a life of meaning and spirituality.

The world is full of stressors and we can all use a little support. Is there something out of balance in either your life or the life of your child? Have life's daily problems become unmanageable? Are you concerned about changes in mood/behavior? Are you wondering if a therapist could help? Through video sessions, you can get to the heart of the matter and start getting some relief. Changing the way you see yourself and your struggles can change everything. I am currently seeing adults and teens with plans to reopen the physical office by summer 2023

Are you tired of not feeling affirmed and respected in your healing journey? Of not being able to show up authentically because of fear of being judged or misunderstood? I know society can be limiting and sometimes harmful towards BI&Poc and Queer, Trans, and Gender Expansive people. Therapy shouldn’t be another space where you’re worried about your safety. You deserve competent, affirming, and supportive care.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could more fully enjoy sex without worrying about how your body looks, feels, smells, or if it will (or won't) function "properly?" While most people want to have more enjoyable sex, many don't know where to start. It can be difficult to navigate the complexities of sex, desire, pleasure, and relationships without trained professional help. That's where I come in: I help adults enjoy better sex! My specialty areas include exploring sexuality, performance anxiety, desire discrepancy, porn use, exploring kinks/BDSM, non-monogamy, relationship communication, and overcoming unhelpful distractions during sex.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
