BDSM Therapy

Looking for therapists who are BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism) can be a challenge. Many have already attempted therapy in the past, only to find that these fantasies have been diagnosed as unhealthy. If you are someone who is part of the community, or who is interested in adding BDSM to your life, you don’t want to have to help your therapist accept this part of who you are. As sex positive therapists, we can help. Whether it be in your current relationship, or you’re just trying to figure this out for yourself, sex therapy can help.

If you’re someone who has never sought out therapy for this, or someone who didn’t bring it up to your therapist, you can find comfort in knowing that you can now have a place to openly discuss this part of your life. In therapy, you want to know that you’re not going to be judged for anything that you bring into your session. Many people who are interested or who fantasize about or BDSM , have enormous levels of shame. This shame often leaves people to keep this part of themselves in silence and secrecy. This can make BDSM and challenging to navigate through in your life. Our sex therapy focuses on helping you decide what will work best for you in your life in a way that promotes self-acceptance. This is true whether you’re going to add this to your relationship, you are in an open relationship, or this is something that will remain in your fantasies.

If you’re in a relationship, and you’re not sure how to initiate conversation about BDSM in your relationship, or you feel ashamed of your attraction to BDSM, we can help. We will help you make decisions about whether or not you want to open up to your partner or spouse about this. If you’re in a relationship and have opened up, but you’re unsure of how to integrate it in a way that works for you, we can help with this as well. Regardless of the issue that you’re dealing with, we’ll help you sort through in a way that feels safe and will help you be open up.
