Navigating the world is tough enough, but when you add being Neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, a single parent, a minority, or any number of marginalized identities on top of it the weight can appear unbearable. The effect our individual identities can have on our home life, job, social life, and our very sense of self can make dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting struggles, or engaging in self-care seem like a daunting task. We all strive for whole wellness but that looks different for everybody. The whole wellness you desire is not out of reach.

How long have you felt unseen, unappreciated, or misunderstood by your romantic partner and it feels like nothing is changing? Is your home life mostly harmonious but your sex life is routine or non-existent? Have you or your partner's mental health struggles impacted your previous level or intimacy and connection? Do you wish you and your partner could experience increased vulnerability intentionality in how you love one another? Have you held back in sharing the things you desire out of fear, shame, or just uncertainty about how to start those conversations? Are you and your partner(s) wishing you had help?

Sex-Positive, Kink Allied Therapists

Why might an individual want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?

A sex-positive or kinky individual may want to see a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist because the client may feel safer and more supported discussing their experiences and challenges. A therapist who identifies as kink-friendly will have experience with clients having diverse sexual preferences and will likely be nonjudgmental and supportive about issues brought to the table. It is important to note that sex-positive, kink-allied individuals may find equal success with therapists who do not have such specialized knowledge and background. The most important factor in the success of therapy is for the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond.

Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in sex-positive, kink-allied treatment?

Generally, no. There are limited training programs and unofficial accreditations that therapists can pursue, but a therapist’s expertise will ultimately come from their previous experience with similar clients, their engagement with organizations that promote sex positivity or kink-allied lifestyles, and the importance they place on safety and cultural sensitivity.

How can individuals recognize a good sex-positive, kink-allied therapist?

An experienced therapist is able to help clients explore their sexual identity and expression and relieve any discomfort or stigma attached to discussing such matters and the client’s overall challenges. A therapist who is sex-positive and kink-allied is able to create an environment that honors a client’s experience and sexual preferences. To recognize a good therapist, clients can simply ask directly about topics and issues important to them and gauge their comfort level and connection with a clinician based on the responses.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist with a focus on sex positivity and alternative sexual lifestyles?

Some individuals may feel most comfortable knowing that the clinician they’re working with has a commitment to creating an atmosphere of sex positivity and has experience with relationship diversity and alternative relationship structures. Working with a sex-positive, kink-allied therapist may help clients respect their own challenges and improve identity-affirming treatment.
