If you identify as Polyamorous/Non-monogamous, Kinky, Queer/Trans or Anti-capitalist, you already know the tyrannical way normativity polices “Others” who deviate from conventional cultural scripts. Even more so when your preferred expressions of intimacy and embodiment are deemed “problematic”. I do not equate “healthy” with “normal”. Nor am I prescriptive about how you ought to experience your life & relationships. Living along the fringes of normativity isn’t an easy choice. But it can be a worthy choice, fulfilling and purposeful! And yet it may also be accompanied by high costs that feel compromising to dignity & self-worth.
Following a Master’s program in Human Rights at Columbia University, I obtained an M.A in Marriage & Family Therapy, believing the optimal way to address the existential challenges particular to our current social landscape hinges on our ability to address how we internalize broader social discourse at the local level of individual experience.
I am very open-minded and create a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment that aims to be curious rather than assessment oriented. While it is my agenda to challenge ideas in an effort to facilitate conversation that may lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful existence for you, I do not come into session with foregone conclusions about what is best.

Therapy, like life, is a challenging process that requires us to endure. While I cannot make any particular claims about the benefits of hardship in any person's individual experience of life, I enter therapeutic conversation with an aim to create dialogue that is complex and that appropriately reflects the profound depth of discomfort I imagine brought you to our conversations in the first place.

Groups

Anti-capitalist struggles in a pro-capital economy

Rachel Feldman
Hosted by
Rachel Feldman

This group meets once per month, and is a collaborative therapeutic space to discuss how living in a capitalist-oriented culture can leave us feeling depressed, misunderstood, isolated, and excluded. The influence of individualism, self-sufficiency, and pressure to be productive can result in us feeling like we are failures for not measuring up to standards that don’t align with our personal belief systems and worldviews.

Non-monogamy: Beyond the Stigma

Rachel Feldman
Hosted by
Rachel Feldman

RESUMING JANUARY 24, 2023! This group explores the challenges that arise when intimacy is positioned against normativity in a safe, supportive environment. Alternatives to more traditional ways of romantic coupling sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed and confused. Moving our discussion away from the stigma associated with non-monogamy, we aim to engage each other in an intimate and relational space whereby a diverse community of persons practicing non-monogamy provide mutual support and understanding. *Limited to 15 persons per session. *Individuals are $50/session; persons who attend with one or more partner/s are $40/session.
