Polyamory and ENM Therapists in Denver, CO
As an experienced, evidence-based trauma therapist, I love helping people be the full, rich, and authentic people they truly are. Often our childhood, families, and/or traumas get in the way of being fully and endearingly human.
Common areas I help with: self-esteem, overwhelm, effective communication, managing conflict, avoidance, building trust, healthy relationships, and meaning making. I do not give homework, but rather we work collaboratively to create and select experiments for you to try outside of sessions to build skills and feel more grounded in your strengths.

This includes: Trans & queer issues; gender-affirming care; polyamory & Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM/ENM); BDSM/kink; relationship anarchy (RA); infidelity and recovery; sex and desire; power dynamics & healthy boundary setting; self-worth; & recovery from trauma
It is your right as a human being to have fruitful, loving, and supportive relationships with others, as well as with yourself. Most of my clients start therapy with me because they know, at a deep level, the changes they need to embrace, but need help from someone honest & trustworthy to make those changes safe and real. I work with clients to understand what they need to feel safe enough to try new things, and make evidence-based, creative suggestions that reflect the authenticity of each person. Change can feel new and exciting, without feeling fake or forced.

A client who is looking to stop avoiding their emotions and experiences and start engaging with them. They want to work through the deeper things that feel stuck, while also managing their symptoms, addressing the more immediate, day-to-day challenges that need attention.
My therapy style is two-pronged: gaining the tools to do things differently in your life, while also doing the deeper work to process emotions and trauma where you feel stuck. This approach is especially helpful for making progress if you’ve felt stuck in past therapy, and for concerns such as treatment-resistant depression, CPTSD, and couples work.

The question I see on the face of almost every new client I meet is: Where do I even begin?! You likely have a complicated story to tell and need someone to help you untangle it, but WOW does that feel daunting. The foundation of my practice is relationally psychodynamic, which is a fancy way of saying I want to help you understand the patterns in your life, help bring to the surface unconscious motivations that have led to self-defeating behaviors, and help you understand how your relationships have affected how you experience trust, safety, and connection. I use humor and metaphor, and value building a strong therapeutic alliance.

There are parts of us we've learned to hide. The desires we've never said out loud, the relationships that don't fit the mold, the identities we've only half-let ourselves claim. Therapy should be a place where all of those parts get to show up. A place to understand where they came from, what they need, and what it feels like to exist without apology.
My approach is social justice-informed and centered around authenticity and connection. I'm here to help you find your identity, explore intimacy, and engage in personal transformation, however that may look for you.

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.
