Individual therapy

In individual therapy, you will work one-on-one with a non-judgmental, intersectional, and trained mental health professional. Our therapists use a variety of evidence-based frameworks to meet your unique needs, and will collaborate with you to gain insight and expand self-awareness, heal from past traumas, diagnose, and treat underlying mental health conditions, and explore your identity, including sexuality and gender.

Relationship therapy

In relationship therapy, a therapist will support you and your partner/s in moving through relationship crises, strengthening your connection, building tools to navigate conflict, and addressing sex and intimacy. You may come to relationship therapy to explore non-monogamy, infidelity, new identities, loss or transition, family-planning, and/or expanding your sex life. We approach relationship therapy through a kink, BDSM, non-monogamy, and queer-affirming lens. We offer relationship therapy in person and virtually—please see our FAQs for more information about locations below.

TEG Staff Therapist

"I love that we're a team that stands behind our values and has created a space that celebrates diversity and values tenderness. At the same time, we put in the work to create systems and structures that benefit the whole team and maintain the sustainability of this work. "

TEG Staff Therapist

"Honestly, one of the first factors that drew me to TEG was a commitment to values, specifically equity. After a decade of work in DEI in various capacities, this was the first time I’d so clearly seen an organization put its money where its mouth was."

TEG Staff Therapist

"TEG is a special space because we really practice moving in alignment with the values that we claim. Being on this team has challenged me to take my liberationist values a step further every day, both as a therapist and as a person."
