Gender, Sexuality & Relationship Diversity
LGBTQ+-affirming therapy and sex therapy in a space where your diversity is welcomed, not questioned.
Nature is diverse, and so are humans. Your diversity will not be a barrier to working with Joseph; it's part of who you are, and it belongs in the room. Whether you're here to explore your identity, work through something painful, or simply find a therapist who gets it, this is a space where you can bring your whole self.
You don't need to have it all figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're questioning, exploring, or simply looking for support, this is a safe place to begin.
Relationships and connection
Do you want to bring your partner(s) into therapy? Let's talk about that. Do you feel isolated around your sexuality? Let's talk about that and see how to help you find more connection. Joseph encourages you to discover your full self, to heal what's been painful, to take thoughtful risks, and to find your own best sexual (or non-sexual) life. This is a safer place to look at it all and to grow.
If you're in a polyamorous relationship, an open relationship, or any form of ethical non-monogamy, you won't need to explain or justify your relationship structure here. Joseph works affirmingly with all relationship configurations. The focus is on what you need, not on fitting into a particular template.
Joseph is a member of the LGBTQIAP+ community, and is trained in working with Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD).
Sex therapy
Do you feel uncomfortable or dissatisfied with your sexuality or your sexual expression? Are you wondering if you are asexual, or if your desires and needs around sexuality are "normal"? Have you experienced changes in your sexuality that concern you?
Do you have parts of your sexuality you need help to reconcile? Did a recent life or health change affect your sexual responsiveness, desire, or fantasy life? Do you have sexual trauma that affects how you can connect? Or have you just never really "got" what others got about sex?
Are you looking for a safe therapy space to explore past experiences, judgmental thinking, or sexual regret? Do you need a sex-positive therapist with a wide range of awareness to guide you and your partner(s) through challenging times?
Joseph can help you with this part of your life, whether it is a large or a small part. All questions are welcome.
