LGBTQIA+, Kink-Aware, Poly-Affirming & Sex-Positive Therapy

A Judgment-Free Space for Identity, Relationships, and Authentic Living

 Finding a therapist who truly understands your identity, relationships, and lived experiences matters.

At Serotonic Wellness, I provide affirming therapy for teens and adults across Washington via secure telehealth. I proudly serve clients who identify as LGBTQIA+, practice kink or alternative lifestyles, engage in polyamorous or consensual non-monogamous relationships, work in the sex industry, or are exploring sexuality and identity.

You deserve care that honors who you are , not therapy that asks you to shrink yourself.

An Affirming, Inclusive Therapy Practice

 I am:

  • LGBTQIA+ affirming
  • Kink-aware and lifestyle respectful
  • Polyamorous / consensual non-monogamy affirming
  • Sex-positive
  • Sex-worker friendly 

This means you do not have to educate your therapist, hide parts of your life, or fear judgment in session.

Your identities, relationships, and choices are approached with respect, curiosity, and clinical professionalism.

What “Affirming Therapy” Means Here

Affirming therapy goes beyond tolerance. It means your experiences are recognized as valid and worthy of care.

In sessions, we may explore:

  • Identity development and self-acceptance
  • Relationship dynamics (monogamous, poly, or non-traditional)
  • Communication and boundary setting 
  • Internalized shame or stigma
  • Anxiety or depression related to minority stress
  • Family or social challenges 
  • Burnout, emotional regulation, and self-worth 

Your therapy is never about changing who you are,  it’s about supporting your mental health while honoring your authenticity.

Kink-Aware & Non-Monogamy Affirming Counseling

Many clients in kink or non-monogamous communities experience stigma in healthcare settings. My role is not to pathologize your lifestyle.

Therapy may focus on:

  • Consent and communication 
  • Attachment and relationship patterns
  • Navigating jealousy or insecurity
  • Managing stress within complex relationship systems
  • Building emotional safety
  • Processing experiences of discrimination 

Your relationships are treated with the same respect as any other.

Sex-Positive & Sex Worker Friendly Care

 I provide sex-positive therapy that recognizes sexuality as a natural part of being human.

I also welcome clients who work in the sex industry. You will not be judged, reported, or treated differently because of your profession.

Support may include:

  • Emotional well-being 
  • Boundary setting
  • Burnout and stress management
  • Relationship concerns
  • Safety planning
  • Identity integration

Your work does not disqualify you from compassionate mental health care.

Evidence-Based Therapy in an Affirming Environment

 Alongside affirming care, I utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based support, and practical skill building.

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs, whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship stress, or major life transitions. 


You deserve a therapist who meets you where you are — fully.

If you’re looking for LGBTQIA+ affirming, kink-aware, poly-friendly, sex-positive therapy in Tacoma or anywhere in Washington, I’d be honored to support you.

Reach out today to schedule a consultation and take the next step toward care that actually feels safe.

 

I provide secure virtual therapy to clients located anywhere in Washington, making affirming mental health care accessible regardless of geography.

Telehealth allows for:

  • Flexible scheduling
  • Increased privacy
  • Consistent support
  • Care from the comfort of your own space
