Polyamory and ENM

You’re over being told your love is a phase or a problem.

You’re exhausted from translating your values into someone else’s language.

You’re trying to build something radical in a world that keeps demanding simplicity.

Choosing to live and love outside of monogamy can be beautiful and expansive, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. You may be struggling with jealousy or trust, navigating and establishing boundaries, recovering from rupture, or learning how to communicate your needs with clarity and compassion. These are understandable and common struggles in any relationship, but in polyamory, there’s so many more moving parts and complexities to consider. Navigating multiple relationships, balancing emotional needs, and confronting internalized beliefs about what love “should” be can be overwhelming—especially in a culture that rarely reflects back the validity or nuance of polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous relationships. It’s tough work to unlearn the scripts that never fit your kind of love, but it can be so rewarding to discover what intimacy can look like when it’s not bound by scarcity. You’re trying to show up with care and integrity, but you’re still figuring it out. It’s okay to seek support in getting there. You deserve relationships that feel aligned, nourishing, and truly authentic.

It had be hard to find support that doesn’t pathologize your relationship structure or force you into a monogamous mold. You may feel isolated or judged not just by society, but sometimes by therapists, friends, or even within community. Maybe you’re just plain old exhausted by the emotional labor and want someone who already understands the framework you’re working within. Whether you’re solo poly, in a long-term triad, nesting with one partner and dating others, or still exploring what non-monogamy might look like for you, you deserve a place to process your relational life without shame or scrutiny. Even when in relationship, you may need a place all your own to talk things through. In working with a therapist who is affirming of and personally experienced in polyamory and other forms of ENM, you can explore the real issues you're facing without being made to feel like your identity or values are the problem. We can work together to build trust, deepen intimacy, improve communication, and understand the intersections of your relationships with your mental health, past wounds, and evolving self-concept. Let’s make space for your love to grow freely.
