Polyamory Counseling Services I Offer
Polyamory counseling is something many therapists do not understand or want to do. It can be easy to get confused by polycules and how a certain relationship orientation that is not ‘societal norm’ can still be functional. Polyamory can be a beautiful thing in all of its many forms. From a Vee to a triad to cross-coupling and even more complex relationship orientations, polyamory is not for everyone. It can be a difficult lifestyle for some to understand and flourish in. But when it is done right, it can be incredibly fulfilling.
I am Poly-affirmative. For several years I have seen many polycules as well as individuals and helped other therapists understand what polyamory is. For a time I was in a polyamorous relationship. I understand what it means to be in a poly relationship.
Things to remember:
- Polyamory is about open, HONEST, consensual, communicated, and informed relationships
- everyone needs to be on the same page
- never lose yourself in the relationships; you are as important as your partners
- it is a safe relationship style and can be beautiful when practiced properly
- it is not illegal; nor is it polygamy or bigamy
- like any relationship, consensual non-monogamy takes work
Together we can navigate the waters of polyamory so you can explore it in all its beauty.
