info not provided Practice currently is not fully ADA accessible As a community member, I am very comfortable and knowledgeable in non-monongamy and BDSM/kink related topics and/or issues. Within those communities, I have developed friendships with individuals who engage in sex work and am very supportive of sex workers and on a personal level, have engaged in discussions around sex work and/or issues that have come with that by friends practicing in that field. I have not done clinical work in that space, however. I feel comfortable in working with individuals who identify as trans and/or queer based on my personal and community relationships; I have also done some clinical work in these areas, but would state most of my work has been more around working with people who identify as queer but our therapeutic work focused on different clinical topics as that was not the goal of their treatment with me. I am not a POC, and while I have worked with POC during my career and would identify as comfortable working in that space, I do not have lived experience and feel I can always be learning more in this space. provider added info 1/10/22 Added 8/3/2021

3 Laura has been part of the queer community in MA for 30+ years and is able to offer exceptionally grounded and nuanced insights that cut through a lot of BS related to identity policing/exclusion that's common in online LGBT spaces. She's trans-friendly and has been very understanding and receptive about non-monog and kink matters, and has made efforts to educate herself when I brought in things she felt she needed more info on. She has also been great about religious trauma.

200 My current location is on the second floor of a walk up building. I am looking to sublet ADA accessible office space in the future. My current office space bathroom is single person use only. I am looking to sublet in a place with gender neutral bathrooms. I have been working for a long time as a school counselor and have had only a small private practice on the side. I recently left my schools off and am embarking on full-time private practice. As such, I have a lot of daytime availability, and in the fall will be providing appointments on 2 afternoons/evenings. I would like to focus my practice on LGBTQ+, children, teens, young adults, and parents of LGBTQ+ children. I am ENM/polyamory and kink friendly, but do not have any specific training in either area. That said, I am always looking to get more training. Thank you for considering me for inclusion in this list despite my website not yet being done! Provider added info

$50-175 I am currently only able to provide in-person sessions in the form of nature-based therapy (taking place on a public trail or park). I will meet in a variety of locations in order to accommodate physical needs (ie paved bike paths to support use of mobility aids, locations with seating to support folks with chronic fatigue or mobility limitations). I am primarily an existential therapist, and incorporate principles of IFS/parts therapy, intersectional feminist theory, and expressive arts and play therapies into my work. I specialize in neurodiversity-affirming therapy and work to privilege non-spoken and non-verbal forms of communication in my therapeutic work. I identify as a queer, autistic, nonbinary, kinky, polyamorous therapist and my identities inform my work with clients. My primary goals in therapy are to help people whose most authentic selves deviate from social norms and prevailing narratives to cope with a world that isn't made for them, and to help them discover and create spaces that are.

Comments and Additional Info:

As a community member, I am very comfortable and knowledgeable in non-monongamy and BDSM/kink related topics and/or issues. Within those communities, I have developed friendships with individuals who engage in sex work and am very supportive of sex workers and on a personal level, have engaged in discussions around sex work and/or issues that have come with that by friends practicing in that field. I have not done clinical work in that space, however. I feel comfortable in working with individuals who identify as trans and/or queer based on my personal and community relationships; I have also done some clinical work in these areas, but would state most of my work has been more around working with people who identify as queer but our therapeutic work focused on different clinical topics as that was not the goal of their treatment with me. I am not a POC, and while I have worked with POC during my career and would identify as comfortable working in that space, I do not have lived experience and feel I can always be learning more in this space.

Comments and Additional Info:

I have been working for a long time as a school counselor and have had only a small private practice on the side. I recently left my schools off and am embarking on full-time private practice. As such, I have a lot of daytime availability, and in the fall will be providing appointments on 2 afternoons/evenings. I would like to focus my practice on LGBTQ+, children, teens, young adults, and parents of LGBTQ+ children. I am ENM/polyamory and kink friendly, but do not have any specific training in either area. That said, I am always looking to get more training. Thank you for considering me for inclusion in this list despite my website not yet being done!

I am currently only able to provide in-person sessions in the form of nature-based therapy (taking place on a public trail or park). I will meet in a variety of locations in order to accommodate physical needs (ie paved bike paths to support use of mobility aids, locations with seating to support folks with chronic fatigue or mobility limitations).

Comments and Additional Info:

I am primarily an existential therapist, and incorporate principles of IFS/parts therapy, intersectional feminist theory, and expressive arts and play therapies into my work. I specialize in neurodiversity-affirming therapy and work to privilege non-spoken and non-verbal forms of communication in my therapeutic work. I identify as a queer, autistic, nonbinary, kinky, polyamorous therapist and my identities inform my work with clients. My primary goals in therapy are to help people whose most authentic selves deviate from social norms and prevailing narratives to cope with a world that isn't made for them, and to help them discover and create spaces that are.
