At Positive Regard Therapy, our therapists provide affirming, sex-positive therapy for individuals and couples exploring sexuality, desire, and intimacy without shame or judgment.
We offer kink-aware, LGBTQ+-affirming therapy in a safe and knowledgeable environment—supporting you in understanding your needs, improving communication, and building more fulfilling relationships.
We believe that healthy sexuality and emotional connection are essential parts of well-being. Our team combines clinical expertise, sex-positive education, and real-world understanding to help you grow with confidence and curiosity.
We meet you where you are. Whether you’re exploring new desires, navigating kink or polyamory, or repairing intimacy, we create a shame-free space to talk about what matters most to you.
Many clients seek therapy to improve communication, rebuild trust, or manage boundaries. We use integrative approaches to help partners listen deeply, express needs clearly, and strengthen emotional and physical connection.
We serve clients of all genders, orientations, and relationship structures—including monogamous, open, polyamorous, and non-traditional partnerships. Our therapists are kink-knowledgeable and trauma-informed, never pathologizing your desires.
In Sex Positive Therapy, we explore:
Every client’s goals are different. We’ll tailor sessions to your values, relationship style, and personal growth.
What you’ll find here:
✓ Respect, curiosity, and collaboration
✓ Evidence-based tools for communication & connection
✓ Therapists who affirm your sexual autonomy
What you won’t find here:
✖ Shame or judgment
✖ Assumptions about your identity or desires
✖ A “one-size-fits-all” approach
At Positive Regard Therapy we offer kink-aware, sex-positive counseling that helps individuals, couples and those in relationship configurations explore BDSM, D/s dynamics and fetish play in a space grounded in respect and curiosity.
Our diverse, affirming team blends clinical expertise with warmth and real-world understanding to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Sex-positive therapy is therapy that views sexuality as a healthy, natural part of life — never something to be shamed or pathologized. At Positive Regard Therapy, our sex-positive therapists provide a space where you can explore pleasure, identity, and desire with curiosity and respect. Whether you’re discussing intimacy, kink, or communication, we focus on empowerment and authenticity rather than judgment or “fixing.”
Sex therapy is often provided by clinicians with a specific certificate or specialization in treating sexual concerns and dysfunctions. At Positive Regard Therapy, our focus is on sex-positive therapy, an integrative approach that looks at sexuality, identity, relationships, and pleasure as natural parts of your overall well-being. Rather than treating sexuality as a problem to “fix,” we help you explore your experiences, reduce shame, and build healthier, more affirming connections with yourself and others.
Not at all. Many of our clients are individuals exploring sexuality, desire, or identity on their own. You don’t have to be partnered to talk about intimacy, communication, or pleasure. Our therapists help individuals and couples alike build self-awareness, confidence, and connection.
Yes. Positive Regard Therapy is kink-affirming, polyamory-friendly, and LGBTQ+ inclusive.
We understand dynamics like BDSM, ethical non-monogamy, D/s power exchange, and polyamorous relationships — and we approach these topics with informed curiosity, not judgment. You’ll never have to educate your therapist about your lifestyle or identity.
Absolutely. Many couples come to us to rebuild trust, express needs clearly, and deepen intimacy after conflict or disconnection. Our therapists use integrative approaches to help partners talk more openly about boundaries, expectations, and pleasure — creating a stronger emotional and physical connection.
Sex-positive counseling is a space to explore whatever feels relevant to your sexual or relational well-being, including:
Communication and emotional connection
Desire discrepancies or mismatched libido
Navigating non-monogamy or polyamory
Kink, BDSM, fetishes, or role play
Body image, shame, or past sexual trauma
Pleasure, fantasy, or identity exploration
Every session is tailored to your comfort level, boundaries, and goals.
Unfortunately, many people seeking sex-positive or kink-aware care have felt judged or misunderstood by previous therapists. At Positive Regard Therapy, you’ll find a different approach — one that is affirming, trauma-informed, and grounded in unconditional positive regard. We take time to build trust and meet you where you are, honoring your story and your autonomy.
Yes. We see clients in our Andersonville office and via secure telehealth statewide.
You deserve therapy that celebrates authenticity and pleasure.
